If you give a girl some paint…..
I‘ve finished all of my painting for my new office space!!
I showed you in this post my newly painted office space, and in this post I showed you my progress on painting my desks white and how they used to look.
I love how the desks turned out all white. I distressed the edges just a bit to give it a little bit of a worn look.
When I went to Lowes to buy the white paint for my desks, I purchased a gallon because it was cheaper than buying 2 quarts. So what does a girl do if she has extra paint?
She decides to paint the trim and the closet door too!- which turned out to be a much bigger task once I got started, but it was WELL worth all the extra worth, because I think the room really needed it!
I have been collecting things from the resale shops and garage sales for my new office. So I had a few goodies that I decided would look best with a little of the white paint lightly brushed over them. I think it gave these frames and scroll thing just the look they needed for this room!
Take a look……
This mirror, I forgot to take a before picture of, but it was gold with black in the recessed parts ? I think it’s my favorite piece so far!?
I had fun “dressing it up” with some of the goodies I have been buying for the room.
It can’t stay exactly like this, because I need to move our computers and all of our office stuff to the room- but I LOVE how it looks like this!!
I still have several small projects in mind that I need to work on, and I haven’t put anything up on the walls yet – but later this week I will share the whole room with you, and you can see how I’m actually using it, for now.
What color did I put on the walls? It’s a spa blue/green that I mixed from two colors I tried that weren’t quite right. I love the white and black with it, but I do have a few small things to paint, and I’m on the look out for a small hutch – I’d love to bring in another color if anyone has any suggestions please leave it in the comments!
WOW…your office looks great! I love the color you used on the walls and painting the trim white was a great idea too. Good thing you had extra paint!

Cheryl, you really are the coolest. I can't wait for all the rest of the shots of your office. I love how you just lightly brushed on the white on the accent pieces, looks great!
I have a giveaway on my blog and I'd love for you to check it out 🙂

It looks lovely. I like how you distressed the furniture and I love the wall color. I painted some furniture this weekend with glidden's free quart of robins egg blue- looks so similar.
Anywho- I think using some red would be great or even some green..

AWESOME wall color…it's just beautiful! Your office is very stylish…love it!
I'd keep the blue the focal color & add some taupe but whatever you choose will look great I'm sure. How can you go wrong when you are working w/ a color like that?

I love it Cheryl – I know I've already told you that but I think it looks absolutely wonderful. I'm thinking about using a color real similar to this also but I'm not ready to give up all my red – so that is gonna be my accent – red – maybe red toile. And I love all your refurbished "junk" – you did an awesome job – looks so inviting. Good luck with the completion – Cathy
