Small Homes: Home Office Makeover

In a previous forum post of mine, I showed photos of a bedroom of mine that I’m turning into a home office. However, I thought it was a good idea to share the most important parts on the main part of this site. Since then I’ve done a tad bit more work and at the end of the month, I’ll be adding office shelving to the room. However, in the meantime I wanted you to see how it looks so far.

I think one thing remains true… color makes a HUGE difference in a small room. The room looks so much better to me with color.

White walls which not only look boring but also really dirty and the really ugly dark brown doesn’t do much for the room either.

Here I’ve just begun. You can see the curtains but they are currently too long. Mom said she would sew them for me… and she did!

Here you can see how the curtains have been sewn and how they now look. Also, you can check out one of the white trims. It’s pretty much done. However, I will have to touch it up later to remove a tad bit of brown that’s still showing. You can also check out the plant light I added. It still have to tack down the cords, though.

Once I’ve done a bit more work, I’ll be posting those photos as well. I’m anxious to see how the room looks with the white trim completely done. It seems to me that although the dark brown trim isn’t a big part of the design, it has large impact on how the room feels. In short, it really does make a huge difference in the overall look and feel.

Lastly, before I forget. If you’re interested in the color I used to paint the room. I used a Behr Paint color called “Tide Pools.” To be exact, it’s called “480E-2 Tide Pools.” And I got the flat based version, rather than gloss or semi-gloss. You can get it at your local Home Depot.
