Here is a reminder of how my new/old tv armoire/office looks like. It was done in chalk paint, so it has a beautifully soft patina. The back plates on the doors would NOT come off without some serious damage to the doors, so I left them.
I added these modern lucite and brass pulls. If they look familiar, it’s because I used them on the chest of drawers in my wrapping closet. I really, really lurve them! I like the modern pulls against the traditional back plate – I’ve always leaned toward the eclectic.
Most of the tiny details in my office are on the inside. The most obvious being the cheetah print stenciling.
If you follow along with me, you know that I love doing something to the drawers to make a statement. On the outside face of the drawers I have hand painted crowns ( you know I love them) and numbers . The Hubs asked me if I needed the numbers so that I would know how many drawers I had. That earned him a serious eye roll!
On the inside of the drawers I lined them with this fun paper!
The doors themselves were a great opportunity for some organizational tools.
On the left side, I painted it with chalkboard paint. Love me some inspirational words of wisdom.
Since my post on Friday I went back and added a calendar below the chalkboard.
On the right side is the bulletin board, which is really clean right now. Before long I will have it filled with everything from swatches to photos of ideas or upcoming blogs.
On the upper shelf, I added baskets and attached cute chalkboard signs so that I would know where I put what. Hey, Go ahead and judge, but I never seem to remember where I put what at first. Besides they are CUTE! I also put some of my favorite art and design reference books up there.
And one of my favorite tiny details in my office is the chandelier which was formerly a candlelier. I love it – I do. Although I am still not digging the gold and silver together on this one. There may be some changes coming to it in the future! But for now… it’s all good.
I also had this Do What You Love print that I could never find a space for.. it’s like it was made for this spot.
Some of the tiny details that you don’t immediately see are my newly painted office supplies. I taped them all up…
and spray painted them gold! LURVE!!!!
And the finished piece….drum roll please! There are a ton of tiny details in my office. Individually they really don’t make that big of an impact, but put all together they give it that WOW factor. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.
Do you have a dedicated office space in your house that is a little unconventional? I would love to hear about it!
Until next time…
