Remodeling #2: Office
The office was originally a bedroom for a little boy with a plush carpet and trains on the wall, just one wall. However, the door you see opens to the backyard and it sounded really creepy to me that someone would have their child's bedroom where there is an entrance to the house. I think this for many reasons, for little kids my fear would be someone taking them, for older kids my fear would be having "friends" over or sneaking out. Anyway, this room also leads from the kitchen and the guestroom so it made sense for us to make it an office. A little extra seating, some storage with the desk and bookshelf, some paint and new flooring made this a completely different room. The only thing I need now is decor, I'm going for different shades of blue and am having a hard time finding these things, I may have to create my own.
Before: Little Boy's bedroom
Free couch from Bre w/ new slipcover, curtains made from a shower curtain
(See how I need to fill up the wall space?)
After: Couch View
The desk my dad made for me in college and an inexpensive bookshelf help us stay organized. But it turns out we have lots of junk we still need to find places for.
