Do you have one of those rooms in your home that you just aren’t sure how to decorate? Yeah, me too.

That room is our office. It continues to baffle me. It’s the only room left on our main level that needs a loving decorating touch.

Here’s what it looks like currently…

Well, minus the curtains. They went to live with my parents because there was just too much ivory going on in the room. You live. You learn. The parents did give me life so it was only fair they get my hand me down curtains.

I think we are going to purchase the Karl sectional (the smallest version available) from Ikea. My brother purchased it and it’s comfy. This room doesn’t get a ton of use but we would like to use it a little more for lounging and a semi-inexpensive sectional seems like a good fit.

I think I’ve decided that I actually like the wall color. My laziness may be working it’s magic on my brain too. I can’t tell for sure. How do you feel about it?

My biggest conundrum now is what to put behind the couch…or soon to be sectional.

I ponder this space while running 30 minutes three times per week. I’ve got nothing. That’s 90 minutes per week for the past 4 months and no ideas. Okay, fine…probably more like 30 minutes of pondering per week. The other 60 minutes are focusing on not dying. But still. (I highly recommend decorating rooms while you run. It’s amazing how fast the time flies. Seriously.)

There’s art. But what kind of art? I like things to have a purpose. A map would be an obvious choice but that seems a little themey to me. I had pondered some kind of word art but word art can turn cheesy real quick like. And what word? I thought about shelves with photos but I want something a little unique.

Maybe I just need to run more.
