The Office-Close Ups & Details

This room was builder's beigey-white when nosotros moved in, went red immediately, together with at nowadays is dorsum to a crisp white. If yous missed my postal service in conclusion week, the ceiling is "Wrought Iron" yesteryear Martha Stewart together with the walls are "White" yesteryear Behr.

Here's where nosotros came from:

I conduct maintain painted the formerly stained cabinets in our kitchen together with the living room built-ins, but actually didn't desire to pigment all of the shelves inward this room. So, my idea was yesteryear lightening the walls the stained woods wouldn't hold off together with therefore dated. I ended upwards epitome the dorsum of all of the shelves the same color every bit the wall to lighten the interior of the shelves every bit well.

Last calendar month I asked yous all to help me pick an accent color for the room. You all had some bang-up suggestions, but I realized every bit I started putting things dorsum inward the room together with on the shelves that I had merely almost every color to piece of job with! I decided to permit all of that utter for itself together with kept the fabrics together with pillows neutral. I did add together a few pops of turquoise, together with some cherry-red stands out a fighting inward a few of the accessories.

Let's merely piece of job our means merely about the room...mmmkay? Here are the shelves to the left of the computer-by roofing the lower shelves I was able to motion the baskets that were previously downward depression for together with usage them for storage (and conduct maintain upwards a shelf...there were tons to fill!).

There's no means a candle would hold upwards functional on that transcend shelf, together with therefore I filled these oversized lanterns amongst some books together with my children's handmade baskets that they wove inward the tertiary grade. You can't quite read it but that cherry-red mass has i of my favorite titles ever: HOW TO BE A Preacher's Wife AND LIKE IT. Ha.

Here's the shelves to the correct of the computer:

Plain old paperbacks hold off a piddling to a greater extent than interesting displayed inward an antique dough bowl. This shelf looked a fighting empty together with therefore I framed a few pages out of an old children's mass together with nailed them to the back.

Rather than the shelves existence strictly for books (which nosotros could conduct maintain done-I stashed a lot elsewhere), I wanted to hold upwards able to shop many of my often-used supplies together with therefore they would hold upwards at my fingertips. This shelf houses drinking glass containers total of stamps, markers, glue, scissors, together with other assorted arts and crafts supplies.

The bike memo wheel that my parents made is the middle attraction of the gallery wall over the piano. I also gave a piddling golden spray pigment to my light amongst the striped shade similar Carmel's.

Just what the doc ordered...1 lemon drib per twenty-four hours later on pianoforte do is completed!

I picked upwards this old tambourine at a thrift shop for $1. I intend it's perfect on the gallery wall over the pianoforte to necktie inward some of the woods tones from the residue of the room.

There are some things that volition never hold off "pretty" (speakers everywhere, video equipment, cords, etc.), together with therefore I tried my best to piece of job merely about them together with motion on. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 big solution was to cover the previously opened upwards lower shelves. I've loved the hold off of the skirted consoles that are together with therefore pop correct now, together with adapted that a fighting to arrive piece of job here. I kept the stuff uncomplicated since at that topographic point were together with therefore many other colors together with patterns inward the room.

My hubby is a drummer, together with on his international trips he's started picking out a small-scale drum every bit a souvenir. The chocolate-brown i is from Republic of Republic of India together with the cherry-red i is from East Asia. Also displayed are gifts brought dorsum from unusual lands from his parents.

A metallic container holds stuff remnants. Did anyone else's parents pass means besides much coin for "the entirely music library you'll e'er need" when yous were a kid? :)

I used baskets that were previously for toy storage to corral children's books, interruption upwards the shelves a fighting together with add together texture.

My grandfather's mug-beautiful together with bold together with crazed together with old.

A in conclusion hold off amongst my DIY Drum Shade and Hand-Painted Accent Wall Panel-

With that, I intend I volition declare this room officially done! And the best part is, other than the paint, almost $15 for the skirting supplies, a novel photograph mat, together with switching a few photos from color to dark together with white, I didn't purchase anything for this room! Hooray for using what yous have!
