February Before – Office

Today I’m joining Lisa at Shine Your Light for a Before and After party! Basically you post ‘before’ pictures at the beginning of the month and then share your progress at the end of the month.


 
I decided to pick the office as my February project. I’ll warn you now…the before pictures ain’t pretty!

I took a picture from every corner, so you can get the full effect of the mess!

The plan:
Paint stripes on the walls
Find/sew curtains
Add top trim piece to closet doors
New closet door knobs
Add artwork
Finish painting the desk
Paint/upholster desk chair
Finally unpack “desk stuff” into desk
Organization system
Sell white bookcase on Craigslist
Buy/Build shelves where bookcase used to be
Find small bookcase/shelving system for the closet
Move boyfriend’s old mattress and bed into the garage
Find an armoire for the TV
Donate/trash unused/unwanted stuff

I think you all know by now that I won’t get all of this done by the end of the month. I’ll be impressed if I finish 3 of these! Turn around time isn’t my strong point, but hopefully this challenge will motivate me a little more!

23 days until the end of February! Hopefully I’ve made some good progress by then!
