Labor Day Weekend: Office Redux!
I'm happy to report that the Labor Day weekend painting extravaganza went very well! I'm thrilled with the results. The office isn't quite finished yet, as I've still got a few things to hang (like my clock) and things to buy (curtains for the closets), but the bulk of the work is done. Let's remember back to the way it used to be, shall we?
Wait, wait. That was before we bought the house. How about this:
Much better. Still with the ugly paint color (it looks beige here, but trust me: it was a pale pastel yellow), but at least sans the Disney! Theme!

(Yes, I have a lot of books. And lots of office supplies. Picture white curtains in front of the closets. Then the red-- which I love-- in the closets will be tucked behind the white, but the red clock will give a hint of what's behind! Martha would be proud!)
And this:
The first two pictures make the color look a bit more baby blue than it really is, but the last shows it more true. It's Marlboro Blue, from Benjamin Moore. How did I find such a kick-ass color, you might ask? Well, I found it on The Internet, of course! I went to flickr, then to the Pretty Organized group, then found THIS glorious photo, from shutterbean. And I knew it was love at first sight. What do you think of the results?
