::the office, take 3

As much time as I've spent talking about the guest room, seems like I make more strides in the office. Probably because I'm not trying to. (You know how that is...you go out shoe shopping when you're in a wedding and you need silver and no one has anything...but then you go in 6 months when you don't need them and that's all they have...) Well, such is this story.


I was out shopping last weekend and stumble upon a picture at the West Elm outlet. Before I get the collective sigh of "not another West Elm piece in the office" hear me out. This was originally $100, weighs more than I do, is HUGE and only cost me $15. That's right! Did I search through every picture they had left, only to pull the one out of the very back only to almost kill myself for the least scratched frame? Absolutely. I had originally thought about putting it in the dining room over my "buffet" (as I'm on the hunt for something there and I've got a good idea...I'll keep you posted). However, when my mom saw it, she's like, of yah...that would look great in your office. And you know what...mother knows best :D It does!! Check it out. Oh, and welcome to my new pillows as well.


Office before:

Office after: This is still majorly a work in progress. Let's turn to the left, shall we?




Aww to my little peacock painting, but eww to the bookshelf. However, that might be changing sometime...*wink* We'll see.

And now a turn to the right:

Oh, sad little corner. You used to have things up there but they've all been stolen for other rooms. I have a clock (the one from my kitchen..the half clock...) Well, I love this clock...but it's black with orange hands. The black on these walls in this room = not too awesome. I'm going to spray paint it yellow, and stick it back above that dresser. Once/If we get a new bookcase, that peacock painting will live over here as well, I think.

I didn't take a picture of the desk. Partly because I'm messy and well...really, that's the only reason. The bulletin board is covered in a solid beige fabric...zzzZZZ. That will hopefully get fixed soon as well as the calendar that has yet to be made. *Shame* Yah, I'll get right on that.
