The title on Sunday Hendrickson’s business card says “Divine Art Director-at-Large.” A look at the inspired use of space and clever organization techniques in her home office validates that claim in spades. Although she’s quick to credit Bad Brad (her nickname for boyfriend/contractor Brad Duschak) for his contributions, the breezy palette and ingenious storage solutions are Sunday’s all the way. “The color scheme happened by accident,” she confesses. “I’ve always liked green, the color of renewal, but wasn’t a fan of blue until I fell in love with the way they look together. The combo is so cheerful and full of life.”.

top-notch
Brad hand-carved the decorative trim, “all 116 notches of it!” (a) Adorned with ribbons from Sunday’s collection, embellished labels identify the contents of painted wood storage boxes. Framed atlas pages remind her of favorite trips, including a recent visit to China. Fabric panels hide beat-up, Formica-topped filing cabinets.

file finesse
(b) Cardboard files hold copies of the many magazine stories Sunday has produced. Straw baskets are a cinch for carrying props. (c) Homemade, personalized labels identify the contents of each file. Wallpaper, Waverly.
