Office Progress

Friday, April 18th, 2008

I have been VERY busy the past several days.  I have wanted to get on here and post more, but it’s been all I could do to keep my house livable while so many projects are going on.  As my friend says, I am in a transition phase.  That’s so true.

Above is the color scheme for the office accents.  I want a lot of antique white in the office with touches of this red, pink, blue and green everywhere.  The walls have been repainted white and the trim is already a 1920s green.  I love it!

The office is not nearly done, but I wanted to share some things I’ve done so far.  I decided to have a go at using a hot glue gun – my first time ever — and I am hooked.  Now I know why you crafty girls love your hot glue guns!   I attached the faux crystals to the lampshade above.  I want to give the cabinet above a touch-up paint job.

I put pink labels in the file cabinet.  Cute!  Also, I’ve spray painted some of my baskets the same pretty pink that’s in my curtains.

Another pink basket above, and I want to take the brown baskets and spray paint them an antique white to unify the look of the storage cabinet they are in.

Ready for my breaktimes, an old wooden tool box has been spray painted and is holding all my recently thrifted Our State magazines.

I found an old enamel-top farm table for the laptop.  The wooden part of the table has at least a couple of layers of paint.  I am contemplating painting it again, but I sort of like the buttery color.  I am definitely planning to cover the pillow in the chair in some new fabric to match the color scheme. 

I need to clean the carpet and then (hopefully) a large rug to match my colors will go down.  I am looking for some wall art to brighten up the newly painted walls. 

There’s still quite a bit to do and I can’t wait to see the finished office!  :)

I just wanted to show you a little of what’s been done so far.
