Home Office/Study Reveal

I feel like putting my hands up in the air, twirling around, and saying, "Ta Da!" I am so happy to have a little desk/blogging area. So much more comfy than sitting at the counter every night. Here are the before pics.

As with everything, I'm sure I will have some tweaks as time goes by. We are thinking of adding some more pics above the desk. Also, I really would like to have the printer nearby, but we don't want it out for all to see. I'm working on a clever way to hide it.

All of the photos were taken by us. I'm big on artwork actually having meaning. So, all photos or artwork we have on the walls was either done by us or purchased on a special trip and brings back memories.

Here is a close-up of the edges. After I distressed the table, I went back with a Q-tip and stain to bring out the brown a bit more.

 

I think the crack adds some character to the table.

 

  

My thrift store magazine rack.

 

I was super lazy with the chair this time around. I didn't sand off any of the paint (there is a coat of black and yellow under this). It took about 4 coats of white to cover. I like how the black and yellow come through, though.

  

  

  

My little striped pillow keeps jumping around...I think he likes it in this room, better.

 

  

  

This table was another thrift store find. Painted and sanded to match the other pieces. Mr. VB says I've reached the shabby quota in this room.

  

The shelves are constantly changing...here is what they looked like this morning.
