My Office — the fun begins!
This is my current office.
This is where I sit for all my video chats and consults.
It’s where I plan all my clients’ awesome built-ins.
It’s where I try to keep all my projects organized. That is NOT working out well at all!
So right before I left for Utah (last week) we decided — going against ALL our promises to each other to work on ONE project at a time– to start on our office.
This is Madison’s OLD room. Before we created her new World Map bedroom. This is going to be Wes and my combined office. Because of how small it is, it will probably end up looking a lot like our IL office. T-shaped countertop anyway. The rest might be different. I started drawing design plans in December but still haven’t decided exactly what I want to do. All I DO know is that it is going to be 10000000% better than my little red stool and kitchen bar countertop! It looks much better already, just being cleaned out.
I’m excited. Eventually there will be a Jack and Jill bathroom to build in– but I’m ignoring those future changes for now. Here is what I have to work with:
We Removed the baseboards before I left. Now I have to re-texture the walls. I spent some time teaching Wes my technique before I left in hopes that he would have it done when I returned home. He was busy with work so it’s still not done. Guess I’ll be working on that myself.
I was really looking forward to the reno fairies taking care of a few steps while I was gone but It might be fore the best. I am a bit of a perfectionist — I’ve been told. 😉
Giddy-up!
As soon as my weekends start to free up, I am on board with sharing. I have four big dilemas. One they lowered the air vent to be flush with the plastic and wood framing, oh yah they trimmed it out like crazy. The other three problems are that the light fixtures I think are wired on the side instead of the center. Which makes choosing fixtures difficult. Moving wires yah I could, but as many other projects I have found in this house, is that they never grounded anything. Our old chandelier you would get a buzz off it if you touched it. Any imput from Sandra would be great. Other then the plastic breaking and just horrible lighting. Well out of the three fixtures, one stays on, one when it wants to works and then goes off again, and the third if your lucky! How long has it been like this, well too embarrassed to say and well too many bleeps have been said when cooking.
I would love to send you a photo, but,….it’s soooo dark out there. I’ll see what I can do.
