I believe my office is going to be the front room on the second floor with the little balcony, at the moment I write on the living room couch using the ottoman as a desk, so I am looking forward o an actual office space in the foreseeable future. I have no idea what theme this blog is :) I'm terrible at the whole computer thing, so I get some help.

We are twitter followers (leejtyler) but just tonight I read your profile of your new home (which is the exact style I adore) and your mention of home projects. I don't have a home or a CS but I'm glad you are finally living your dream. As a writer, I would put my desk just inside the rounded front area. I am a St. Louisian who loves Chicago. I have to ask about your theme.

I'm a baker with a chronic chocolate dependece, so brownies, choc. chip cookies, etc make my house smell like home. (BTW, after reading a couple of your older posts, I took a trip to the Spice House. I bought Chocolate Extract there, which adds a nice dimension to baked goods.

Nothing like throwing a frozen hunk of meat in to cook in the morning and coming home to those wonderful smells.

Your home is beautiful and I would bet that it is more "homey" inside. Congratulations! As for what makes my house smell like a home, that is Lebanese food (mainly Lebanese meat pies). I grew up in a Lebanese home and when I start making meat pies at my house, it reminds me of my childhood home.<br /><br />Stay warm!JenGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073090117694936561.post-58738726117352325732013-01-21T22:39:12.640-06:002013-01-21T22:39:12.640-06:00love love love your home! love love love your home!

It took 5 months because apparently it is bad idea to do renovations and have a hurricane at the same time... If my husband knew that having burnt cookies could be a side affect of having the kitchen far from other rooms he would have scratched this project because for some odd reason he loves burnt cookies.
