Those of you who know me well know I love to paint and decorate. I make no claims that I am a pro at it...it's just something I like to do. Steve mentioned that he wanted me to come in and paint his office so I went to check it out. He has a huge desk that is rediculously heavy and un movable so he really only wanted one wall painted and a little decorating done. "Something to match this great rug I got" He said. Notice the rug below. Honestly not something I would have picked for an office but that's what I had to work with. That and his Navajo indian statue and vases. So here are the before and after pictures.
Before: business awards on top of hutch, football and baseball (signed by I don't know who). Indian stuff and family pics on desk. Nothing on side desk.
After: side desk now has a plant with his awards. I didn't do anything else with this because he is getting another hutch for this too.
After: Picture hung, greenery and indian stuff on top of hutch, plant, clock and family pics on desk. Below is a closer look at the hutch before...
and after. The pictures don't do it justice but it looks really nice!
Again, before....
and after...I also hung his diploma on the back of the desk and got new updated pictures
Here is the wall to be painted to match his awesome rug...before and...
after. I painted it in the suede look so it is a textured wall in a Terra Cotta color which matches the rug and goes with the Navajo stuff. Again the picture doesn't show the true color as well but it looks great! I also added a tree in the corner and found this awesome clock. Still looking for some smaller pics to go on each side of the clock.
A view of the door to his office before....
and after. The wall really looks orange here but trust me, it's not quite that bright.
Here is a close up of the clock. I love this clock! the camera didn't pick up the texture of the wall either.
It really turned out very nice and the office now looks very warm and inviting and classy. The wall matched the rug perfectly. Steve said it's the nicest office he's ever had. By the way, the football and baseball are now IN one of the desks!

Julie, that looks so terrific! You have such an eye for decorating. I've always loved the warmth of the decor in your home. Great job!
ReplyDeleteIt does look good, Julie! Did Steve's company just have that rug there or did Steve pick it out? It is not very office-y at all! Oh well, you did great things with it!
