Redecorate my office

Painted green July 10th 2010. Got everything organized and decorated today (July 20th) 19 months ago

my new computer came and my printer is all connected up now. yay 19 months ago

I bought a beautiful new desk for $180 at a shop that sells second hand furniture from businesses that have closed down. We picked it up yesterday and delivered it to my new office today and it looks great. Much more space on it than the old one.

My office redecoration project is nearly complete – just waiting for my new computer and printer, EFTPOS machine and decided what I am doing about the chairs (stick with the orginal or buy new?). 19 months ago

My office is looking good. I’ve ordered an EFTPOS machine and I’m choosing my new desk tomorrow. :) 20 months ago

My new picture came today – just got to choose a new desk now… 20 months ago

Just bought a new chair and it is getting delivered tomorrow. Now all I need is the new desk. 20 months ago

I’ve bought another picture and on the lookout now for a new desk and chair 20 months ago

Just been to my office and put in my new coffee table and whiteboard. Looks great. Still waiting for my autumn leaves picture to arrive… 21 months ago

Just bought a red leaves in autumn canvas print as the start of my office redec project. Looking forward to having an amazing looking office. 21 months ago

What I want to do will require a lot of time…and some money. Here’s the idea I have stuck in my head:
Paint a shade of green…maybe a bit darker / bolder than “mint green”, with white doors and trim. Paint furnature black and white. Black drapes….and of course good organization of my stuff. My office serves as a craft room as well. I need places for: fabrics and embellishments, reconstruction materials, office supplies, shipping supplies, gift wrap/tissue paper/boxes, my book collection, assortment of knick knacks and keepsakes…and various other stuff not as easily categorized. The major issue I’m facing is the drapes. The absolute lowest price is $80…which at this point in time I can’t afford. The drapes I have to work with would clash horribly….and I need this room to look exactly as I’m picturing because Bill is very very VERY reluctant to let me paint it green. He says “ew” everytime I show him a paint color I’m considering.
The room I have in mind will be classy, and sophisticated, but still fun…and functional enough to allow me to get work done without distraction….and devoid of leopard print (which Bill should like, considering I have something leopard in every single other room in the house!) 23 months ago

If I were to redesign our office, I’d ideas from here!! =
