The Office Renovation You Have to See to Believe! Amazing Changes!

For anyone who is new to this blog, 2 years ago, my husband and I bought a foreclosure. This foreclosure is the home that you see all of the many pictures of each week, but there are still a few rooms you have yet to see. After 2 years you would think that one could get themselves together enough to finish everything, but for me, that has just not been the case! I am happy to say, though, that I have FINALLY finished my office space! Let me start off by saying that this space has actually been through 2 re-fabs. The first one just never made sense, and I could never come to grips with my color choice…so I finally changed it, decided what I truly wanted the space to be…and bam…finally done!
First, let’s look at a few lovely pictures of when we first bought this house!
Before/After
YIKES. I don’t know if you can tell, but the windows were pretty much falling out, the walls are…well, you can see, and everything was just disgusting. It is amazing how awful this house was when we first bought it
Oh Lord, help me!


So, after we bought the house, we replaced windows, stripped wallpaper, painted, tore out carpet, put in laminate hardwood, changed fixtures and receptacles, etc… and I decided I wanted this space to be a bright and airy yellow. The yellow was pretty, but it never did fit my “style.” I never liked it, but I hated to re-paint it, so I left it for a while {2 years}! I took this picture on my phone when I had this table for sale. I realized when I was looking back through all of my pictures that I could not find any others that I took of this room when it was yellow! {VERY bad blogger moment.} The color is pretty, but it wasn’t what I had in mind. {And yes, that rug and those seat cushions clashed big time!} This room is situated directly off the kitchen. Basically, when you come through my front door- you see straight into this room through the living room and kitchen. It is a shame it took this long to spruce it up!
And here is the office NOW:
