Renovation....DIY can be a pain in the neck.

My DIY office renovation has been quite a challenge....& I know a lot of you liked the 'before' office space. However, with this current transformation, I am feeling much more inspired already.  Sometimes you just need a clean slate in order to keep creating beautiful things.  

Below are a few pics I took a few days ago.  I know it's a TEASE but my home office isn't quite done just yet.  We're having the most difficult time installing the curtain rod brackets.  You know, those darn things that are placed into the wall on each end of the window so the rod doesn't FALL!  What a pain in the neck! Be back with more soon....

wallpaper: graham & brown

  27. I love that wallpaper! It looks pretty cool in a small bedroom. Another unique way to use this wallpaper is to apply it in strips and alternate them with solid color wallpapers or wall paint. The paint can be in the same color as the spirals to create some sort of illusion that the spirals are coming from the paint.

  28. Mya, that is a superb idea! The illusion with the paint and the spirals would be pretty terrific. Another way to execute your idea would be to emboss the wallpaper strips. Mount the strips onto quarter-inch or half-inch wood planks, and you get something even more interesting.
