Office Before/After

Wowzas I haven't blogged in forever. Since January we have been really wrapped up in home improvements and then came spring break. And admittedly, Facebook has taken up much of my online time since I finally got a page set up. And that has been very cool finding so many friends on there.

Okay, the office. Here we have some before pics. It was all brown, brown stained moulding, brown/beige paint and carpet, and since we own reddish/brown office furniture, it made me ill. Ugly room. We have a fireplace in here and it had no mantle, it just looked unfinished. The tile that was there was old and chipping.

So Marty ripped out the tile, the carpeting, and took down the dated moulding. Buh bye.

I knew once I first saw the fireplace wall that I was going to tile the entire thing. I have watched too much HGTV :) But it turned out awesome. We chose a slate 3x6 tile, the hearth floor tile is a matching slate. Before we tiled I repainted the built ins and chose a warm honeyish color for the walls. I thought it complemented the tile and soon to be installed bamboo flooring nicely. Marty put the bamboo in after everything else was complete and viola. Believe it or not this room makeover took less than a week, and Marty worked during the days thru it all. LOVE this room now!!
