After working at the Boys & Girls Club in Midvale for 3+ years, I decided it was time for me to make the office MINE. That included a huge paint job and complete change of decor and set-up.
If anyone knows me, they know I'm obsessed with ORANGE. It is a happy and playful color and I think it adds a huge burst of positive energy to the teen center! With a good amount of left-over turquoise paint from another room in the Club, I accented parts of the office and I think it looks amazing.
I'm in love with my office! But what I was really hoping was the teens would love it too. And they do. :)
Gotta love the random window cut-outs. "Lumpy Space Princess" is a character on Cartoon Network's "Adventure Time" that many of the teens love to watch and quote. I love to imitate her voice.
All my little couch friends.
More random window cut-outs! Gotta have a little bit of Hannah Montana and Justin Bieber.
I was a little unsure about the placement of the desk at first, but I really like the way it divides the room and creates a safe, comfortable place in the corner. It also provides for more privacy as I'm working.
Some of the photography on the wall was done by one of our Club Teens. Impressive!
I love the addition of the small couch in the office!
This is the wall you see when you first walk in. I love the "Rules" and artwork.
I'm really pleased with how the office turned out. It definitely contributes a good and happy vibe to the environment in the teen center and allows teens a comfortable place to "hang out" when the time is appropriate. Some have said it feels like a bedroom, and I am totally okay with that. I'll enjoy these next few years working in my happy place. Let's just hope the future teen director likes bright colors!
