You may remember that about a month ago, we were taking the computer room apart to install crown molding and to give everything a paint job. Well, it is finally done! Why do these projects always take longer than we planned?
This room is small measuring only 10 feet by 11 feet and has wall to wall furniture. It is purely functional requiring a place for the computer, printer, etc., storage for books, a desk for the household paper work. It also houses a lot a memorabilia from my husband's career as a civil engineer. In addition, it seems to be a gathering spot requiring some seating. Bob will sit in here occasionally with coffee while I blog. When the grand kids are here and on the computer, I like to sit in here to read and keep an eye on their surfing.
That's a lot of work for such a little room!!
The bookcases previously had a pickled stain on them, but we were in the mood for something different. So they have been painted black with a light blue for the backs.
The walls have been painted what looks like coffee with cream in it, Sherwin Williams Familiar Beige, SW 6093, and the ceiling is a shade lighter.
The new crown molding and other trim is Sherwin Williams Pure White, SW 7005.
This drop-front desk belonged to my great grandmother, and we use it for our household paperwork.
It is so nice to have the room completed, all fresh and clean!
Thanks for stopping by,
Sally
You did a fabulous job!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous. What a great idea to paint the back of the bookcases blue.
Love it with the deep black. It pops!
