Office Oldies


After I posted the picture of my beloved office for my personal style mission, I discovered the OLD pictures of what our office looked like when we first moved in. I must say it was very sad. I used my figure drawing studies and printmaking pieces to adorn the walls, but that was the whole story at that point. I wanted to do a make over using everything I already had and only added in a few pieces. I used wrapping paper to recover the storage boxes and magazine files, changed the arrangement of the furniture and brought in a little more storage. 

From this:





Add in:
Paint - $25/gal, and $8/quart
Rug- on clearance $30
2 cabinets with doors- $50
Curtains- on clearance $20


Equals =


Small changes + color = a lovely place to write and create.
