What's black, white and red and read all over?
Our cottage office. :)
We'll begin our little tour by first checking out Mr. Cabin's handiwork~ my gorgeous new bookcase. I am beyond thrilled with the way they came out.
I love the little details in the trim. We painted the oak wood white and distressed it so it looks as if it has been in the house forever.
My scrapbooks fit perfectly on the bottom, as my custom builder promised me they would. Love him.
I plan on rearranging the books soon. Right now the girls have claimed four of the shelves for their own and they are in a constant state of upheaval. But they love their books and being read to, so for right now I am quite content and happy about the messy conditions.

Here is the rest of the room. The comfy reading chair I inherited from my parents, not exactly the ideal but it works for now. I hope one day to purchase a worn brown leather chair for this room.
An old childhood chair offers extra book storage
and is the perfect place to rest a plant by the sunny window.
Old black and white photos of both of our parents. There needs to be an entirely seperate post about Mr. Cabin's gargolyes some of which you can see here on the shelf.
The desk, where all of my work and sometimes procrastinating takes place.
The telescope, one of the things I wish I had more time and energy to use.
And of course, I had to throw in one before photo...
...and after.
Hope you enjoyed my little tour of our cottage office.
