The problem with my home office

I work from home most days so I need a space that motivates me, encourages me and makes me feel professional and grown-up.  About 4 months ago I painted the guest room/home office.  Problem is,  I’m tired of the colors and tonality of this room.  I even bought a bookcase to create a line of demarcation between the sleeping quarters and the working quarters.  I chose mushroom and raspberry colors for the walls.  I have orange accents punctuated around the room.  Now I think I’ve out grown my love for those colors.  Truth is, I get bored of design so easily.  Must have been my upbringing and moving a gazillion times as a child.

I’m dreaming of re-doing this space and taking the time to actually create an inspiration board.  Below are some home offices from the HGTV site I’ve admired over the past few months. 

• I’ve got a glass-top desk.
• I’ve got a floating bookcase.
• I’ve got a funky desk lamp.
• I’ve got floating shelves.
• So why don’t I love the space I earn my career in?

But, I’m tired of the guest bed throw, pillows and duvet.

I want a head board for the expensive mattresses I splurged on (and don't even sleep on). 

I want to create two separate spaces in one room.

I need an area rug or two.

I want about $5000 to cover the costs.

I have expensive tastes.

Sometimes.

As in, I need to stop watching programs where expensive designers come in and transform rooms for $30,000 a pop.   I've got about $500 to drop.  Ain't no chance.

I'm a DIY'er sometimes.

Perhaps I'll be more of one this year.

Let's make that a resolution, shall we?
