The new office of Moxie Pear

March 29, 2010

Wow! Has it been a week already? As you will see I have been a pretty busy girl. If you follow me on Twitter then you probably already know what the big news I eluded to last week was. Yes, Moxie Pear finally has an outside office! After working from home for over 4 years, it was definitely time. There is something so nice about “going to work” and not having to stare at my house all day. I was as excited as a pig in slop (throwing a little country lingo at ya) when I found the space. Originally, my goal was to find an office by the end of the year but then things just sort of came together before then so I couldn’t let the opportunity pass me by.

You see I am a true believer in things happening for a reason. I was actually out looking at another space when I passed by this old house right off the square in McDonough. It used to be a real estate office and back in my eBay days, I used to take photos of Gia on the porch. It has since been turned into offices and so I stopped by to see if they had anything available. Well, low and behold they did and when I saw the office I was in love! It had everything I was looking for…one hundred and twenty year old hardwood floors, original windows, doors and knobs and 12ft bead board ceilings…oh yes, lots of lovelies! And it was right in my budget. See, things happen for a reason right?

So a fresh coat of paint and two trips to IKEA later, I had a new office! It seems simple but it took a lot of work (mostly done by The Baconator whom I love with all my heart). I also have a space for my new intern (yes, more exciting things coming soon). I don’t have all of my supplies there yet. My vinyl logo came today so I am excited to put that up tomorrow. I also have to fill up my Mason Jars with colored candies and  I am waiting for my monitor and keyboard so I will have more photos coming soon once everything is completely in place. Until then, here is a little sneak peek…

Aren’t these tulips the prettiest? I vowed to have fresh flowers on my desk at all time so I stopped and grabbed these at Publix this morning. I should have grabbed two bunches because my vase was bigger than I thought…note to self, swing by Publix again in the morning.
