A few months ago I begin an update of my office. Like most of the other home projects I have tackled it has involved endless amounts of time, just finding the right fabric, trim, wallpaper and hardware has taken forever; currently I am waiting for back-ordered switch plates and trying to find cushion fabric for the two chairs. But now that it is done, except for the aforementioned details, I wanted to share the results with you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My favorite part, the wall behind my desk. I love it for its elegance. And best of all I was finally able to find a place for my Mother's wall scones and porcelain figures.
The backs of the shelves on the opposite wall are now wallpapered in a soft damask wallpaper that matches the paint - a detail that I enjoy.
Once I finished making the drapes they were a bit tricky to hang. I ended up using a length of PVC pipe and closet rod hangers. Not only was this very inexpensive but quite effective in dealing with the span - the valance hides the rod.
. Dividing the room with the tie-back drapes adds pattern and color, it also seems to make the space look larger. I love the fabric and was able to get the last few yards before it was discontinued. Fringe, well what can I say, I have a real love affair with passementerie and have some type of trim on all of the window treatments I have made.
This poor chair is waiting patiently for me to find the right fabric to recover the cushion The grape vine and faux berry drapery tie backs are hard to see in this photo, they were recycled from the entry hall remodel of a couple of years ago, I always had the feeling I would reuse them somewhere.
So, after restoring the old tile flooring, stripping the wallpaper and painting, installing new recessed lighting, mirrors, wall sconces, hardware, drapery...and oh yes! finding the perfect area rug and beautiful new writing desk this is the result.
Before...
...and after.
I absolutely love walking into this room now.
Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful day.

Adrienne, I have been waiting for this reveal and it is as beautiful as I knew it would be. Your drapes are stunning with the trim and the colors are so warm, comfortable and charming. I can see how anyone would be thrilled to walk into this room..Happy Tuesday..Judy
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am so happy that you like it. I am really enjoying my time spent here now. It was my late husbands office and he loved it, but it was definitely time to update. I like to think that he would like the changes I made and as he was always my greatest supporter in anything I attempted, I think he would.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely comment.
Wow, wow, wow! You've knocked it out of the park. I love the sconces and mirror.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's nice to know that someone other than me likes it. LOL That and the drapes are my favorite part too.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE what you've done with your office. Our office is in a changing mode - waiting for me to get some things done. We moved my dear, little mother's antique dropleaf desk in for me to use on one side of the room. My sweetheart has my father's desk from the years he was a minister on the other side of the little room. I am curious - where do you find your gorgeous fabrics? I need to add or change window coverings in our home soon and would love to find gorgeous fabrics, too.

My friend convinced me and i had no choice than to follow my friend advice,because i never dreamed of loosing my lovely Husband. And i contacted_________Robinson.buckler {@ yahoo }. com, and i discussed with him all my problems and worries and so surprisingly,he told me that I’ll get my husband back a day after. I didn’t believed Him, until when i got home,the next day,my husband called me to inform me that he is coming back home…..So Amazing!! That’s how i got my back through spell casting and our relationship was stronger than ever. One of the price i was asked to pay was to tell it to the people around me that problems like this,can always be solved by Robinson Buckler So! my advice to you out there is to visit this same E-mail address,and tell him your problems too,if you are in any condition related to love issue or getting your ex back or and problem at all, pls Contact him and have a happy life.______ YEEEAAASSS!!!����������������������������������������
ReplyDeleteAprès 5 ans de relation avec mon petit ami, il a soudainement changé et a cessé de me contacter régulièrement. Il proposait des excuses pour ne pas me voir tout le temps. Il a cessé de répondre à mes appels et à mes sms et il a cessé de me voir régulièrement. J'ai ensuite commencé à le rencontrer avec différentes amies de filles, mais à chaque fois, il disait qu'il m'aimait et qu'il avait besoin de temps pour réfléchir à notre relation. Mais après que j’ai contacté (padmanlovespell@yahoo.com), Dr.Padman du temple des sorts jeté un sortilège d’amour et après un jour, mon petit ami a commencé à me contacter régulièrement et nous avons emménagé ensemble au bout de quelques mois et il était plus ouvert à moi. qu’avant et il a commencé à passer plus de temps avec moi que ses amis. Nous nous sommes finalement mariés et nous sommes maintenant mariés avec bonheur depuis 2 ans avec un fils. Depuis que le Dr. Padman de padmanlovespell@yahoo.com m'a aidé, mon partenaire est très stable, fidèle et plus proche de moi qu'auparavant
ReplyDeleteI’m from USA am here to give my testimony about Dr Voke who helped me cure my HERPES (HSV), i want to inform the public how i was cured from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS), i visited different hospital but they gave me list of drugs like Famvir, Zovirax, and Valtrex which is very expensive to treat the symptoms and never cured me. Three months ago a friend suggested that I try herbal medicine; from a very powerful herbal doctor called (doctorvoke@gmail.com) I looked up his blog on the internet site and indeed he have had immense success with his product. There were lot of persons posting their testimony about how he cured them. when i contacted him he gave me hope and send a Herbal medicine to me that i took and it seriously worked for me, my HERPES result just came out negative.
