The Office! (Part 1)

Pin It
Last week, we finally finished painting our office. I must say that I love the new gray color. The crimson red that was on the walls before was too dark for my taste. When I picked that color over two years ago, I just loved the idea of having a red room. Well, it made the room look a lot smaller and I found out that I didn't like it nearly as much as I thought I would. So, now it is gray and we all love it.

Back to the point of this post... Yesterday, we finally got to pick up our office furniture. Or, at least, the majority of it. We ordered the bookcases (the final pieces of furniture) from Target this morning. After putting end panels on the cabinets and cleaning up a bit, the room is FINALLY looking like an office and not a dining room.

Please take note that this room is still a work-in-progress. I have started putting things in the cabinets and drawers, but I plan on better organizing everything once the room is completely finished.

Loading up the furniture to take home.


All unloaded and ready to be put together.


One set of end panels for the desks.


My husband putting the end panels on.


The craft/printing area... We have to get two end panels for this piece.
I think they forgot to order them and we didn't realize it until we got home.


A front view.


The craft piece has three drawers and three cabinet doors.




The left and center cabinets.

The center and right cabinets.


This bin is the Itso large polka dot fabric bin from Target.


I am using the bin for my yarn storage.


I finally got a chance to separate this box of pencils, pens, highlighters, etc.


The left drawer.

The right drawer.


A look at all of the drawers.


The top of the cabinet.


A final overall look.


Next on the list... finishing the desks & organizing them. Stay tuned!

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!

Happy Creating,
