. MY LITTLE OFFICE SPACE .
My blog is by no means my job (I’m a full time communications planning director by day), but given I blog daily and spend half my free time blogging in some shape or form I felt it was about time I upgraded my ‘work space’ from the sofa to a little desk in my house.
My mum and sisters renovated an old desk which was actually a piece of furniture passed down from my dads family, painting it a gorgeous shade of ‘Paris Grey’ (Annie Sloane) which was the perfect colour for my lounge. When I moved into the house they also renovated me a gorgeous dining table and chairs which I’ve stolen a chair from for my new desk space. The cushion is another hand made beauty which my sister knitted me (talented aren’t they) when we moved in to our house last year, the pastel colours worked perfectly with my new desk and so this little cushion has become the perfect chair cushion.
We’re lucky in that we have a very spacious lounge so my little desk space fits perfectly in the bay window without disrupting the rest of the lounge space and furniture, it also means I have glorious sunshine beaming through the window which is always a bonus.
I’ve decorated my desk with a couple of ‘bits and bobs’ most of which were birthday gifts from my family and friends, a couple of style books which I’m currently reading as well as my foodie books which naturally take pride of place. I was fortunate enough to get given a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my boss at work for some work I did recently (it was a rather stressful time) which naturally adds a beautiful touch to my new work space.
It wouldn’t be mediamarmalade HQ without my Marmalade candle & a jar of white chocolate jazzies. my favourite.
What do you think of my new little HQ? Where do you blog, do you have a little work space?

It’s gorgeous! At the moment I’m renting a small flat with my boyfriend so I have to blog from the sofa, quite often with my laptop balanced on my knee. We’re saving for our first house at the moment and I’m secretly hoping that there’ll be enough rooms for me to have a little corner to blog from :)
