Office Changes

When you live small you have to figure out ways to utilize every inch of your living space.

Our second bedroom in our tiny cottage home is what I call the three in one room.

It is Terry's home office and my home office space and also my make up area and wrapping paper, card storage area.

This is our last home to finally get all the orange wood trim painted and walls painted and room completed.  Then all the rooms in this small house will be done.  Yay!

We will only have the new flooring to install when the weather gets nicer in late Spring.  It will feel so great to have all the rooms renovated hopefully after this weekend.

Here is my before pics and hopefully after the weekend I will have the after pics for you.

As you can see we started to prime all the trim and doors.  Looks like a bomb went off in this room.  The walls will be painted a new color and trim will be white like all the rest of the house.

The french door leading out to the backyard will be painted and the entry door to the office and the closet door painted white.  This is the only room in the house without crown molding so that is a good thing with how much paint the trim and doors soak up.

In my office area I was hoping to find wallpaper for the wall behind my desk.  So far I have not found what I want and I am still on the hunt.  For now it will probably just get a new coat of paint after the trim is finished.

Terry side for his office area is going to get a darker gray wall or possibly a faux brick wallpapered wall.  It will highlight all his fire department things.

Quick story about the wallpaper picture on his computer.  I did not notice that was still on when I took the before pictures!  

Many years ago in Terry's firefighting career there was a huge fire that they were fighting.  

One of the photographers from one of the newspapers was covering the fire and took this picture.  

The reporter developed the film, remember this was years ago before digital and seeing the pictures right away.   

This is how the picture taken of the fire inside the window of the home came out.   Scary right?!!! 

I'll let you all see what you think it is.  

Terry has saved that picture on his computer for all these years and says it represents how evil a fire can be.  

To me it is creepy but he looks at things in a different way than I do.

I like my little screen shot of flowers, sunshine and my lounger for my computer wallpaper!!!

Have a great weekend.
