Office Makeover

  Before and After!

Our home office was one of the first areas that we "furnished" when we initially brought this home. "Furnished" meaning: filled the room with the biggest furniture that $500 could buy. As time went on I focused on other rooms in our home, almost suddenly it was four years later and I looked in this room and realized, "Oh no-no. All this gots to go." (Snap, snap for dramatic effect)

You might want to write this down: The first thing I did was tape off the wall,  window, ceiling and floorboards. Then I threw old sheets everywhere, this part is very important unless of course, you're wanting to replace the carpet too.

The first thing I painted was the ceiling, I just used basic ceiling paint. Then I painted the other walls a lighter color in the same pallet. 

Using my silhouette cutting machine, I created a stencil and penciled in the design for the accent-part of the wall. I traced the area first and then stenciled them far enough away from each other that I wouldn't get wet paint smudges. I did A LOT of touching up by hand.

It obviously needs a few more final touches as far as the decorating go but I was way too excited not to post this right away. Enjoy!!
