Entering our home office...
The nature of our work, teaching for me ,court cases and
judicial matters for my husband constrain us to an annual schedule
different of other people. Each September means a new beginning
for us and we go back to serious work feeling like the little boys
who return to their school, a little
anxious but also with relief
after a break which has started to get boring.
We bought two new chairs,
“Mademoiselle” covered with Missoni fabric and
“Moorea” in grey, both of them by Kartell.
I really feel better with this light makeover!
Ever since I started work, I have taken advantage of
this excitement to provide new
office supplies.
Our work presupposes long hours of work at our home office
and this is my excuse to explore all the bookshops and
stationers in the area in search of new stuff!
Of course, I usually go over my budget but this is how
it works every year and I can do nothing to change it!
Erasers which look like nuts, pencil sharpeners, binders
like clothes pins, highlighters,cute boxes containing everything
you can imagine, untouched notebooks , sweets and chewing
gum with antistress effect, all this seems like a shallow
effective way to restart our activities with fun.
We still see the mercury climb to 30 Celsius even at 8pm
and it stays there comfortably until late at night.
This prolonged hot and dry weather is not exactly that
I would like for my mental reset but we are used to it.
what still exists in the garden!
Nothing without technology!
Wishing you a good and dynamic start to the new week
and sending you my sweet thoughts…

Your office is so nice and organized. I absolutely love your chair, it's so colorful and elegant! I enjoy pretty office supplies and neat organization too. Ever since I got my new desk last month, I've been working on ways to make the space prettier and more comfortable for myself. My husband and I share our office too and we have found a pretty good way to work together, thankfully. :)
ReplyDelete~ A very interesting peek into your other life of work, Olympia....LOVE the little kitty stone and the pretty dishes ( Of course I would )....Happy new week dear friend! I didn't realise you were a teacher....how rewarding! With hugs Maria x

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI saw you on sweet Nely's blog. While I was reading, I noticed that you are Greek. I am part Greek myself. You have such a lovely blog, with many great ideas. I love the hummingbird plate. The hummingbird is my beloved bird. Me and my daughters also have many of the same interests as you - Interior Design, traveling, cooking, gardening. We also have a blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. It's so nice to meet new friends, especially from Greece. I hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day.
