121.365



before
The office redo is really shaping up so I thought I'd show it to you. Before, I had a cramped little desk shoved in a corner. I kept the wall color the same and kept the coverings I'd made for the closet doors. We had new carpet glued down and an L shaped desk built so that there is more work space and a spot for each of us to work.

The desk materials and labor for install was only about $350. That's not bad considering you can buy a small desk for that price but we got twice the work area and something that's custom-fit.

We put that over the file cabinets I rehabbed and then I sewed window coverings that let light in but reduce the horrific glare I was getting before. We found imitation designer chairs for $150 on The Foundary. I'm not sure how long they'll last, but they're VERY comfortable.
