Here's a picture of what my office used to look like BEFORE
I refinished my childhood desk,
painted my old bulletin board to match the walls and finished it off with a dose of nailhead trim and grosgrain ribbon,
and added a pair of lamps that I picked up at Goodwill for $12 each. Here's what my office looks like AFTER!
The most expensive elements in the transformation are the lampshades, at $32 each. The white chair was $6 at an Athens Goodwill when I was in school, the rug is an old one my mom had stashed in a closet at her house, the large chair print was a freebie from this guy, the green pottery cup holding my pencils is one I threw in high school, and I bought the little trash can at Target last year. Hang tight because I'll post the other side of the room later this week! Happy Monday, Everyone!

It looks fab, Claire! I can't wait to see the rest of the room!
Don't know why but the lamp shades seem to make it happen for me, makes my eye see the rug better.
Thanks, Terry! Yes, the lampshades make it happen for me, too! You know how cheap I am, but I had to have those. I think they keep it from looking country. I've been waiting on them to come in for quite some time, so I couldn't resist taking a picture last night, even though it was dark.
i really love those lamps, and the lamp shades!
Great job. Looks like an inspiring place to work!
