OFFICE MAKEOVER

My office closet makeover has grown.  While working on this project, we've run into some snags - unexpected problems.  These problems made added work of re-taping the dry wall and many layers of new primer and paint.  This project has turned into more of a room makeover rather than a closet makeover.   My husband and I were discussing the room this weekend and came to a decision.  Since the room is getting more torn apart than planned and the wood work around the closet door and the base trim in the closet is being replaced, why not make the whole room look nice and get rid of the rest of the old trim. 

 Here's what the trim and baseboard look like in this room dating back to when this home was built we're guessing in the 30's or 40's.


Take note - they never even bothered to fill the nail holes.


 Old trim and plywood doors.


I'd say pretty ugly and dated trim.

This is what the room looks like as of this morning.


The trim and baseboard has all been removed; and we're off to Lowe's to buy new.


This afternoon I'm hoping to get all the trim painted (we are buying the trim that is already primed).  While I'm doing this, my husband will be working on installing the shelving system.    I'm also hoping to start the purging of office items that will be brought back into the room.  I'm getting anxious to have this room done and my house back in order.  You can look forward to more posts on the progress of the room.  We're getting closer to seeing the end results of a wonderful office makeover !

  2. Can't wait for the whole big reveal! Thanks for your kind comment today. Are you ready for the upcoming rain? We've had such and incredibly dry, sunny, warm fall, I guess it's about time we get our normal wet, rainy weather!
