When the house was built in the 1920s, this area was originally a front porch. Sometime in the 50s or 60s it was converted into a TV room and when we bought the house in April of 2000, one of the first things we did was to divide the room into a front entry and home office space.

To give you a little perspective on the size of the office, it’s roughly 8′ by 9′, so when you see just how much was crammed into this space, it’s no wonder it felt claustrophobic.

Originally we hung curtains because we were broke and they were cheap. Eventually they were replaced with a bifold door with latch to keep the kids OUT. We don’t speak of the Sharpie or Scissor Incidents.

This was “my” space on the other side of the room where I would sew (machine is inside the cupboard). Remember when I said this room was SMALL? Yeah… This behemoth took up most of the room.

The most “redecorated” room in the house is this 72 square foot space. It’s seen SO many incarnations. It is currently my studio space where I run three businesses and multiple YT channels and do most of my filming. I’m so grateful to have it, but I’m very much looking forward to the MUCH bigger studio space that will be mine in the NHOTB.

I can tell by looking at the pictures that this somewhere in 2004/2005, so this room had already seen two do-overs already!

2023 Update: this room has been renovated YET AGAIN into my personal sleep sanctuary and my studio is now The Bora Room.
