The office project has seemed to go on for months. What started as a simple organization project turned into a major discovery and repair. After the leak was fixed, we had to put everything back together. I spent many late nights caulking and painting in order to finally have a little normality return.
I love the final look, and I am more than thrilled about all the storage. We added an extra piece of trim to the wainscoting to make it more substantial. All the trim, moulding, and cabinets got a fresh coat or two of paint. The wood surfaces on both cabinets were replaced with a granite slab. I also added the trellis print wallpaper to back of the shelves. After simplifying the books and decorative objects, I was able to delete half the shelves I had originally.
What started it all - Elfa gliding baskets. I am addicted, and I could have a problem. I LOVE them. I sorted all the office and craft supplies into baskets for me and the boys. It is easy to find and grab coloring books, markers, paints, and more. I originally thought I would just do 2 or 3, and I ended up with 7 baskets in the office.
