Revamped Office Space
I finished and I am very happy with my new space. My old desk was way too small and I had been looking for a corner type desk on Criagslist. I found one that came with a tall bookshelf and desk chair for $100. It is solid wood. The bookshelf went into Anthony's bedroom and the chair is sitting in the garage for now. The desk came with a hutch but I didn't want to use it because I wanted to face out into the play area.
The back of the desk was supposed to face the wall so it didn't have a finished look to it. I bought some fabric (on clearance) and velcroed it to the back. Larissa likes to hide in the corner since it is hollow. It will become a storage spot for something I am sure.
I bought all the clearance fabric, only 3 yards and I will be able to make some matching pillows for the sectional that sits in the same room. I often wonder if I should so some window treatments in the room and if they would have had a lot of the clearance fabric I would have bought enough to do some type of window treatment.
I wonder how long I can keep it looking good. Paperwork typically overwhelms me!
On to the next problem spot......the laundry area.
wow! I think it looks fabulous! Good for you.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the laundry. I can NEVER keep up - it is sort of a permanent carpet of clothes...
