I posted about my home office last week and now have some before and after photos to share with you!
Before the space lacked storage and as a result, was really disorganized. There were books, magazines, papers and photos everywhere. My personal files and projects were mixed in with my work binders and I felt stressed looking for things. And the daybed didn't really function as a place to sleep or sit, it just took up space...
After it's clean, organized and pretty! I had painted the walls this summer in coordinating vertical stripes (one color has a luster/sheen to it, which you can't really see in the pictures) so I left them as is. Everything is either found/re-used or from Ikea, Homegoods or Target. I love the HUGE fabric board that I made for above my desk, and the new storage credenza and baskets/bins have helped to organize the clutter. I tried to keep it fresh and modern with bold black and white graphic pillows and acrylic + silver accessories - and the natural rattan storage bins + basket (for catching mail) and the jute twine I used on the memo board provide a nice balance. The drapery panels are super sheer and let it tons of natural light (plus they were a steal at $15 for 2!). I'm sure I'll continue to tweak the space as I go along but I'm pretty happy with the changes over the last week...
(still working on what I want for art above the daybed... I'm thinking of doing some crown molding art shelves, or creating 2 big frames out of molding for some architectural interest, maybe some mirrors... more on that soon I hope...)
Here are some of the details:
