My Office

Well I barely made into the finals of the Sewing contest! Yea! So here's my project for the finals! Please click here to vote!

This room was originally used as a sewing room before we had kids, then it was a nursery for my first baby, then a toddlers bedroom, then a storage room for my work stuff. Now that my new work studio is done, I needed to find a new purpose for this room. My sister in law suggested making it an office. I loved the idea...somewhere to put all the papers, bills, books, craft supplies, etc.

Chair---BEFORE- I picked up this chair from the free pile behind my favorite thrift store in Heber, Ut.  The ottoman I had kicking around. I just picked up the floor lamp from the SLC flea Market last weekend! Camille gave me the black lamp shade--which was a little too fancy for the room, so I slipcovered that too.

AFTER---gray houndstooth on chair. I wanted to keep the detail on the inside back, so I highlighted it with piping.

I debated forever on the pillow!!!! I ended up making it reversible with my two favorite options. Pieced on the front with mustard piping, and chevron on back.

I got my curtain fabric from www.fabric.com

I went with a self lined 5.5" skirt with kick pleats on corners. I liked the shorter skirt on this chair.

I went with a black fabric with white chenille textured dots...to pull out the black in the curtains.

I picked up some accessories at the local thrift stores. I love all the industrial stuff.

I slipcovered the chevron lampshade on the desk. I picked up both set of bookshelves from the thrift store as well as the mirror.

I got the desk off KSL.com, I like rustic mixed with industrial. I wanted to bring some dark wood into the space.
