The Office

I have been trying to update my blog for a week now, but blogger just hasn't been cooperating.  I finally realized I could update to their new editing thingamajig and it seems it will work for me now.  I should say, however, that I hate the new thingamajig.  

After Christmas, we dove into another painting project -- the office.  This one was a nice small and contained space, so it didn't seem like such a chore (though all the other rooms in the house look easy compared to the living room).  The walls were just simply a color that I didn't like -- especially the bottom.  They had a real peach undertone to them in person and I just don't do peach.

So, this is the before (taken at closing, so no furniture):

And this is the after:

What can I say?  It is an office and it is boring.  It is, however, the first thing you see from the foyer, so I want to dress it up a bit.  See that large empty wall in the top picture?  I want to put a picture wall there.  On my to-do list for sometime in the near future is to cut out paper to represent different frame sizes so that I can tape them up and figure out just how many I am going to need (I think we'll turn this into a vacation wall, featuring just vacation and fun pictures).  I also want to look for some arm chairs to set in front of the windows (and maybe some curtains, too).
