Home Office Nook

Finally I am ready to show you what I’ve been working on!! My makeshift new home office.

D.I.Y. projects galore!

Not everything went smoothly, I had a couple of set backs during my home office projects and�for a first time chalk paint user I can honestly say I’m completely hooked on it now.

To give you an idea of what was involved, here is a look at what it was like before and what it is now.

I posted about many of the projects I did along the way. (D.I.Y. home office projects)

Some things I learned though is that if you are going to spray paint, prime first. I tried to skip this step when painting my pink & gold desk and regretted it later.

Way too many cans of spray paint later, I finally got it looking nice.

Also, you can’t sand down a piece of furniture too much, sand your heart away. I was always having to go back and sand some more and finally bought an electric hand sander�to simplify the task and save my arm the aches. Highly recommend this if you are re-doing any furniture pieces ever.

I overestimated the amount of space I had for my home office wall gallery. I had a grand vision and very little space however, I think it turned out pretty cute regardless of its size.

I purchased a couple of the plaqued inspirational words, used free printables & also�did a canvas painting.
