So here is a couple of pics of my home office when we moved in. It's actually the 2nd bedroom on the main floor but we need an office way more than a second bedroom. The walls were a pinky shade of white, the carpet was a mix of whites and blues; very 80's like and the pine trim was very orange.
And now finally a few after pics! Except for a few minor fix-ups here and there, the office is officially done. And here's a peak into all that occurred in making this space our own.
For starters we took down the ugly bedroom dome light, replaced it with the ceiling fan/light from the kitchen. Removed the door to the office. Installed a new window. Carpet & underlay which was unfortunately glued down, was ripped out & scraped off with tons and tons of elbow grease. Plywood floor was sanded down, washed with white paint and lacquered. Walls were painted a Wright Grey by Sico and trim & doors were painted some shade of off white. Hubby made the desks & all of the shelving with wood that we got super cheap at Home Depot & stained them in a Classic Grey. Filing Cabinet & a few other desk accessories were transformed from black to a Shade of Grey. Oh and almost forgot, we installed LED under shelf lighting too!
Eventually we will install hardwood flooring but who knows when & also thinking of either replacing our office chairs or recovering them. My chair is peeling badly & hubby's is a chair from a former place of work, gone wrong, so in a sense, might be bad feng shui to keep that chair. ( and fyi no hubby didn't steal that chair; company was tossing them out )
Thinkin it just might be better to replace the both of them!
