The Office

Well it sure has been a long time coming.  I’ve been working on this project for over a month.   I had a  plan - then a plan for the plan,  ordered the furniture, shopped for fabric, made the drapes, painted, repainted (saved Tom from baby poop), and then today I did the fun part.

Accessorized. 

The Pottery Barn and their friends in China and India now have lots of my money.   I stopped there after picking up my MacBook danger danger and bought 2 lamps, 2 lamps shades, a clock, couple of picture frames, and a piggy bank.   

So here are the results..so far.  We do have a few other things to get - a new desk chair, a new printer, and Tom wants a desktop Mac.  Someday.  We’d dearly love to get rid of the wire mania on the floor. 

The bottom 2 drawers in the credenza are file drawers.   Lots of bills requires lots of files.  he he

We’ve had this lamp for over 10 years — the shade was crunched long ago — so that’s where one of the new shades went.  The glass jar on the desk is the piggy bank.

Since you cannot see the drapery pattern — here’s a closeup  during construction.   I decided to use the chunky rings with clips  instead of doing pinch pleats… it was faster.  he he

I hate putting up  curtain rods, but the drapery gods were smiling down on me yesterday - they went up correctly the first time and they are attached for life!  Should the next owner look  - they’ll only find 6 holes up there vs 12 or 18. smile

But the drapes are not hemmed yet.  Tomorrow.

So that’s it.   I’m pooped and broke.

The end.

A job well done. I like the way the curtains look. And the wall color is much better since you repainted. You will never get Tom out of there.
