Progress of Office and BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

Today I wanted to share my progress on my office.  I am very lucky to have the space to have a office.  I've been transforming this space little by little.  I created my Inspiration board so it could guide me.  I need this so I don't go off track as I like anything that is beautiful.  To see my Inspiration board click here .  

This room was originally my kids play room and where the TV was but now my kids have grown up and are in school.  They're still my babies but in reality they are not lol.  Look at the photo below to see the before.

I took this picture with my iphone.  Isn't it cool that the camera could take a 360 picture to see everything?!  As you can see the room was very orange but I loved it.  We also receive alot of natural light.  In the picture it barely shows the rug but it was badly stained and beige (sort of).  The first thing I did was take off the rug.  What a work out, there were three layers of flooring.  I couldn't believe it.

Taking off the rug was the easy part.  It was the other flooring that needed a little bit of elbow grease.  As you can see the different layers of flooring below.  My dad helped with the sanding of the beautiful wood.  It would have taken me 3 months to sand it.  He did it in two days.  He's the best.  Then I stained it with sealant.

After a while I took a break from the office and had to complete a couple of projects.  But I came back to it and started the next step which was painting.  I had to first fill up any cracks or holes, then I started to paint.  I did all the walls with one color then I did ceiling and moldings with white.  The room already gets alot of natural light but now it's lightened up even more with the colors I chose.  The finish was the special design that is on one wall almost continuing to the other walls.  I love this special touch it gives the room a new character.  I used a stencil that I bought via Etsy from RoyalDesignStencils shop.  They had such a nice variety and when I received it I got a free stencil which I plan to use in my daughter's room.
