Now that I am getting back into the swing of things at work, it's time to finish the home office. You would think on my time off AT HOME I'd work on finish putting together the home office but ... no. On my time off I actually didn't do anything productive at the new house.
OK - time for the fun decorating stuff!
For reference, here was the office BEFORE I started to do anything... As in, here is the office when we moved into the house.
The previous owners had used this split-pea color green room as their baby room.
Woof.
I couldn't take this color because it wasn't 1) pretty or 2) dramatic.
So... insert the paint debate that I mentioned about here. After A LOT of staring at walls and researching paint colors, I went with Sherwin Williams Georgian Bay and lightened it 25%.
The result...
A BEAUTIFUL blue! I also painted the built-in shelves a much brighter and cleaner white. The previous color looked very yellow against the blue before I had painted it.
Now, this might look productive, but I haven't pulled in any of the other furniture, decided how I want to position the desk or hung anything on the walls.
Because I am stuck with another decision.
Curtains.
Currently, I am in the great-white-curtain-debate.
I did a very scientific survey on Snapchat where most people have said the off-white curtains with the texture as opposed to the very bright white curtains with shine. I haven't really made up my mind yet, but what do you think?
Off white? ... Shiny white?
Help me decide so I can get this room finished!
My vote is for the off white curtains. Loving the changes!
ReplyDeleteHmmm I'm going to go off-white, for the simple reasoning that you have a dark wall color. I think the off-white makes it more homey!
ReplyDeleteahhhh your office looks so great! I personally love the off white, becuase of the texture! x, kenz http://sincerelykenz.com

Off white for sure! I tend to find shiny material cheapens the look of things sometimes. It's coming together so well though!

I really like the bright white ones, but I'm always more partial to a bright white as opposed to an off white!
ReplyDeleteI love the off white! Your office looks great, I love the fur on the chair :)
