Our Office Renovations..

Hello friends..I came upon these photos of our office while searching old photos and thought I would share with you the before and after. Our two story home was built in 1924 and this little office is on the second floor facing east. As you can guess by the top three photos the room was done in the 40's most likely and was in the need of some TLC!

There were built in red leatherette sofa and chair as well as a small desk and wrap around book shelves. The walls and ceiling were papered in a wood like paper. (YUK)

It even came with a small electric heater..when heated the coals lit up! We lived with this room for about a year as I was not sure what we were going to do with it but knew something needed done..

We stripped the wallpaper off of the ceiling and walls and as you can see had new wallpaper added to look like tin panels on the ceiling..added crown moulding and white wainscotting to the walls..and painted the room a soft butter colour.

I love the way the ceiling turned out!

The oak hardwoods were refinished..a new area rug laid..

two comfy chairs...and lots of Victoria Magazines were added!

Pictures were hung..

An old oak cabinet that houses my smaller television and a vintage typewriter that belonged to my Father In Law was added.

A few lamps..stools..and you guessed it ...more Victoria Magazines!

A small computer desk and chair...and I was set to enjoy the sunrise in the mornings and the view below is our little English Garden! I think I adore this room the most and although it is the smallest room in the home it is wonderful for me to do my Blogging and just daydreaming as I read my Magizines...

I hope you have a room of your own that brings you as much comfort! Thank you for stopping in tonight..

Hugs,

Wanda
