Office Progress

So I've actually had a real difficult time figuring out how I wanted the office to look. I painted it this white/blue color, "Organza" and liked that, but had purchased the shelves and desk from IKEA without giving it much thought... and it turned out to be too heavy for the room. Not to mention, it didn't fit very well in the room. It just felt sloppy and dark and that is NOT OK because this is a sunroom.

Nasty cheap fan was the first thing to go.

And was replaced with this interesting IKEA fixture -- wasn't sure how I felt about it at first but really like it now.

Then I purchased this cool old sewing machine table to replace my IKEA desk -- got it for $5! It was love at first sight.

I really wanted something big on the wall and thought a cork board would be appropriate for an office... but they are so boring. So, our solution was to put detailed trim on the edges, paint it white, and put burlap over the cork to give it a more interesting look.

The results were worth the effort -- I love the new look and think we got exactly what we were going for.
