It feels so good to have one room in the new house completely DONE! Feels even better that it's "my" room. I've shared some before shots, some during shots and now I can show you the entire finished room. My office gets a lot of use so I wanted it to be functional and pretty.
When we bought the house it looked like this. Lots of oak. Lots of brown. Lots of Blah.
Now it looks like this:
aaaaah....that's better!
Never underestimate the power of paint. Benjamin Moore Gray Owl on the walls, Snowfall White on the cabinets, Black on the doors. White Liatorp cabinets and Ektorp chairs from Ikea. Craigslist desk and chair.
This room is used as an office, music room, art studio and daily command central. I've filled it with shelves full of personal collections and quirky objects I enjoy being surrounded by. There are lots of images so enjoy the tour!

ReplyDeletePS - Would love to know more about the Ikea cabinets!
ReplyDeleteHi LLH :)
DeleteThe Ikea cabinets are from the Liatorp collection. One of the great features of these cabinets is that you can hook together however many of them you like and add a continuous piece of interlocking crown molding to tie them all together to give the appearance of one long cabinet. I was ori
ginally inspired by one of Martha Stewart's butler pantries and knew the style and function of these cabinets would do the job, There are also other door options. I love the glass top doors which allow me to enjoy my collections and store extras like ironstone and paperwork below. Mine are lighted from above. It took my very handy and handsome husband 8 hours to assemble them for me. That ladies, is true love !
