The Office

If you can remember (it's been a year!) we moved last summer the weekend right before I started my new teaching job on Monday, so I've had to hold off on any home improvements until I had some time. I finally got to start painting around here.

Here are some before and after pics of our office.

Before-some kind of two-toned grey above and below the chair rail. We had already done some spackling to the right of the french doors. Between the wood beams on the ceiling are florescent light fixtures encased in wood. We ended up tearing those out.


View up the stairs:

After. :) The top color is Sherwin Williams Relentless Olive, and the bottom color is a can of chocolate brown we found right after we moved in.


After view up the stairs. We had to pull out some florescent fixtures from the ceiling, so hubby put up this light bulb for me to see while I painted. Being the wonderful electrician that he is, he will put in some recessed lights for me when he's not too busy working for money :)

My next project is that portion of grey that's still there going up the stairs. That leads into the eating area/kitchen and I have Hearty Orange already picked out for that. :) Hopefully, I can get started on that project Monday.
