Home Office
Adjustable Height Standing Desk Round-Up and Buying Guide
Working from home. It has become a way of life for those of us who are fortunate enough to be able to do so. And even as life begins to get back to normal in many states – or, the ‘new normal’ – it is likely that we will be continuing to work from home…
Read MoreThe Plan: My Carriage Barn Design Studio
I started Kelly Rogers Interiors in 2012 in the third floor ‘bonus room’ of our then-condo, at a quaint little desk nestled into a dormer, a file drawer, and a small bookshelf. In 2013, when we moved into our current home, I upgraded to a real home office – a whole room to myself (heaven!),…
Read MoreOne Room Challenge – Week 6: Manbrary Reveal
I’m so pleased and proud to announce that the Manbrary is now officially open for business. It was a close one, but thanks to more than a few exceptional vendors and partners, I finished on time to reveal it to you today! We made a HUGE leap forward from last week. My husband and I…
Read MoreOne Room Challenge – Week 5: The Final Sprint
Last time I took the One Room Challenge, back in the spring of this year, I had finished before the end of Week 5, and dedicated that week’s post to a “behind the scenes” of my photo shoot for the Week 6 reveal. I was done, in just about four weeks. This round looks a little…
Read MoreOne Room Challenge – Week 4: Injury to Insult
I had a long post planned for this week’s One Room Challenge update, but a nasty little virus visited me on Wednesday morning (and not a respiratory one…), and resigned me to the fetal position for the vast majority of the day. I’m almost horizontal as I write this, while I have a brief break in the…

Welcome to ORC Week 3! If you have no idea what I’m talking about, you are welcome to get up to speed by checking out my Week 1 and Week 2 posts. Well, “real” stuff is finally happening in the Manbrary. We got the room fully cleared out over the weekend, and for one all-too-brief morning,…
Read MoreOne Room Challenge – Week 2: What is a Manbrary?
Although but a week has passed since the One Room Challenge, the brainchild of Linda at Calling it Home, began, it’s like three years in ORC time. In all seriousness, though, we are now at the week 2 mark – a full 1/3rd of the way through this thing. Wait…whaaaat? Last week I shared some pretty iffy…
Read MoreOne Room Challenge – Week 1: Let’s Go!
Aaaaand we’re back! It’s kind of sad that I haven’t blogged much – OK, only ONCE, since the last One Room Challenge. I could go on about how I’m so busy with client work and family stuff, but let’s just get down to business, shall we? For the uninitiated, the One Room Challenge was founded…
Read MoreThe Mail Organization Project: Stage 2 – Implementing a Solution
This post is a follow up to The Mail Organization Project: Stage 1 – Recognizing the Problem. It took a bit longer than I had hoped, but I’ve finally put into place a new mail organization system in our home. I couldn’t be more excited to tame the beast that is our daily bounty of postal…
Read MoreThe Mail Organization Project: Stage 1 – Recognizing the Problem
I didn’t make any New Year’s resolutions for 2012. But if I had, I would have resolved to get my family’s mail situation under control. The sheer volume of catalogs, credit card solicitations, statements, political mailings (don’t ask!), and even the occasional personal greeting that arrives at our home each day is staggering. I don’t…
