From Stodgy to Stunning

So when we moved a few weeks ago, I gained something fun.  A real office! With a door and everything!  Previously, in our old home, Better After headquarters were situated in a computer nook at the end of a hall between my kid’s bedrooms.  That made for fun worky-time after they were in bed.  Mooooooom!  I need a drink!  Moooooooom! My blanket fell down!  Mooooooooom!  I can’t sleeeep!  Mooooooooooooommmm!  I just feel like yelling at you all night!

Now my office is by itself, downstairs where I can quietly do my business, er, not like that, and it’s great.  Wendy at Designed to Dwell had some office issues of her own, but more of the ‘what-were-we-thinking-when-we-bought-all-this-stodgy-furniture-this-isn’t-us-at-all’ type issues.  Nothing a little paint and fun accessorizing can’t fix!

 

 

 

They dismantled the desk and painted the hutch white to really lighten up the space, but Wendy doesn’t waste!  She and her husband took the old top half of the desk, built an x-base underneath, and moved it in front of the window. Stunning!  See the desk makeover here.
