It's a New Year


First photo of 2010

Happy New Year Everyone!! Jason and I had a quiet night. With dinner and some wine. I had work for the last 6 days so I wasn't up for a big night.

But wow! 2010! That means in 24 days it will be our wedding day! This month we get married. OHhhh my gosh! It's extremely exciting yet so very scary. Soon there will be many changes.

Today I've tried to start cleaning my room and packing up. I'm really wanting to be more organised for our new place. And I'd love to have a creativity room/office type of space.

I have to more organised as my bedroom now is so messy. Here are a few pictures from today....My attempts at cleaning.

This is my desk where I create, blog, write and read. The pile on the left is mail and packages. My in box tray is overflowing.

I got one of those long Ikea work desks. It would be better if it wasn't so messy.

The floor and desk was so much messier. This is reasonably cleaner than it was this morning. Those piles of magazines are wedding mags.

At our place we definitely want to keep things a lot more organised. So I need to try and sort things out and keep it neat when we move our things in. I would love to have a workspace that looked like this....


I would love for it to look as organised as this.

This place would make me happy.


I wanted to get a little writing desk for the lounge room.


Always wanted a proper writing desk with places for stationery.


I really love the shelf for storage. And the white with pops of colour.


So simple.


For awhile I was contemplating on getting a glass desk from Ikea. So I can change what goes underneath the glass to keep on inspiring.


I like that this would fit in a corner. Lots of space.


I hope it does looks something like this.

Maybe I can work towards having a creative space/office similar to one of these.

My posts from now until the wedding will mainly revolve around organising, wedding plans and 25th birthday ideas. So I hope you will enjoy! 23 Days!

Very exciting! So many things to look forward to in the year ahead (especially this month, which is good planning on your part, as January does tend to be a bit bleak...)

Happy New Year!

PS: I aspire to have a beautiful, and beautifully organized, workspace too. The photos you shared are gorgeous.

Oh my God! Your wedding is in a MONTH!
That's sooo exciting. I can't wait to read all about it!! :) Have you chosen a dress as yet?
Btw you know the way you're gushing about all the photos of the workplaces you found? Well, I'm the same way about yours. Granted, it's messy but it's still soo cute. There's an element of a personal touch to it, and that's what I love at workplaces!
