SSDB: my office

Thursday, May 19, 2016

The table for my office came! I think I mentioned last week that even though I found that great one for 1/2 price (you can read the saga here), it was backordered until August. I was really disappointed. I'm used to waiting, but I really just want to get this project finished up for summer, so I cancelled the order. This one was about the same price and is the one I was initially going to buy, so I bought it and sprayed the legs and hardware (I messed up the hardware a bit, but can easily change that. The legs came out great):

The bench, the picture frames, the gold bookends, the marble tray, and the lamps are from Home Goods (I scored big today). I'm still working on the vignette, but it's a good start I think. Here are a few more images:

FINALLY, I have my office to show you. You may remember that this used to be a (largely) unused living room with four chairs in a circle. I liked the way it looked, but like I said, we didn't use it much. Also, my 3 feet of office space at my kitchen desk wasn't cutting it, and I really needed more room. So, after considering it for years, I finally changed the living room into an office.

I started with this rug, ordered a desk, painted the ceiling black, and ordered the daybed. I had the two pink benches (the fabric here is just draped over them - once they are sewn it will be really finished). The daybed just came in this weekend, so I thought I'd show you the pretty-much-finished room.

And from the desk chair (that black table in the kitchen was just there for a moment and is now in the pile of stuff to sell):

So, now I just need to save up for a laptop and I'll actually be able to USE the new office :)
