Simplify Is My New Mantra

Today I decided to completely clear the space that I blog from of any unnecessary clutter. Gone is my bulky 3 in 1 printer, scanner, fax and in it's place there is a lamp. I have a favorite painting on the wall in front of me and a comfortable chair for me and also one for someone who may want to sit and chat.






No more tangles of cords either. I had my land phone disconnected and we will now rely solely on our cell phone. I may eventually miss my printer, but for now the plan is to hand write anything I wish to keep a copy of.






Although I've been using this table for my desk for a while now, I still enjoy looking at the chippy paint worn away from it's lovely hand painted scene.





Here's a closeup of the brass embellishment used to help protect the leg corners.




The painting above my desk is a pastoral scene with a young Dutch girl walking along a path.





My lamp shade is old beer bottle sea glass, that I strung with wire on a lamp base I found on clearance a few years ago.




It feels much better already, but will I miss my printer? Only time will tell.
