Office Makeover - Part 2

Hello, there! Did you think I'd forgotten about you? I'm back with part two of our office makeover. We're not done yet, but it's in a livable state. And I'm no longer totally embarrassed that this room is one of the first you see when you walk in our front door. There's a lot to do, but we'll get to that later.

Let's take a quick look at the very cluttered, unorganized and purposeless befores:

Yikes. Anything's an improvement on that, right?

Freckles Chick pulled together two different idea boards for me to work from. She's amazing. I'm temporarily working from the first mood board because it didn't involve painting or new furniture and I was facing unemployment at the time of this makeover :)

We ended up having to move the bookshelves from the windows in order to make the long skinny room work. Still needed: window treatments, manzanita branches to add height, re-pot the plant and new lamps and accessories.I kept the three memory boards for now until I make a decision on window treatments. I like that the three boards mimic the window, but not enough to keep them. So we'll see where that takes us.

And, the chair. This chair and blanket held me through nailbiting teenage vampire stories.

So that's our office for now. No huge changes, but furniture rearrangement and organization goes a long way. What do you think? Thanks again, F.C. You're one of a kind!
