New job, new office, new designs

I just got my first job as an art therapist working at the in-patient psychiatric wing of the hospital. I'm excited about working there, esp since i interned there, so it feels like i already know the ropes.
New job
     New paychecks!
            New office
                  New space to decorate
My office is a teeny tiny hole-in-the-wall.
I could paint it, but that's not worth the money or effort. the color isn't hideous. So, instead i'm just finding art and little things that are my style to make it feel like me.

I colored some pictures during a class (the torn book courtesy of Bailey)

And i hand-sewed this pillow (sadly, I copied the idea)


And the chair was a Goodwill find (on student-discount Wednesdays). I didn't take a "before" picture, but imagine a tired-out chair that needed a little sanding and some fresh polish...

And this little table was found on Craigslist 


After sanding and a little paint...



And the final product:


All done for about $30
