Office Space

Do you have a case of the Mondays? I hope not since today is Wednesday...but with my title being the same title of a very funny movie...I just had to ask :)

I wanted to give an update on our office I have been updating.

   

What it looked like @ the beginning of the year

   

After my first initial organization project

We decided to paint the office to match the new desk that I had transformed.

Here is the 2 painted colors up close with the fabric I used to upholster the chairs.

After the paint dried, we brought in the new desk and put the other items in place.

Before adding the mirror

Loving the mirror addition. Purchased from Ikea for only $50!!!

Having an issue here. We purchased new handles for the closet. The gold one...is the problem. The screw is stripped and we can't get it out. We've researched the internet and tried everything to be able to get it out...it's not budging.

In order to transform all our gold to a nice bronze...I've decided that we are going to keep the old ones...but spray paint them the bronze color that we are looking for. I will tape off the door all around the knob so I don't get any on the wood...and hope that it turns out. I still have the one from the other door, so I will return the ones we bought and spray paint that one as well.

This is the color I plan to do the knobs. I am also thinking about doing the file cabinet in our office in this color. As you see in the pictures above, it's just a ugly cream/tan color, it would be nice to have it blend in with everything else.

We changed out the door handle from an ugly gold to this nice bronze. We also changed all the outlets to the bronze. I love eliminating the 90's gold from our house...even if it is one room at a time.

This is the view from our new office desk. I love it :) It's so fun to blog and watch my shows. I hated sitting on the couch with my laptop and watching TV...not my thing. So now...I love that I am able to do both and be comfortable!

The list of items still needed to be done:

- Spray paint closet door knobs

- Find curtains for window

- Spray paint file cabinet

- Do pinterest project with mom that is wall decor for office

- Frames and pictures for desk

- Make small book shelf?! (undecided yet)
