There is something going on over here and I can not wait to show you! This will be a bit of a teaser post so I apologize in advance. Here is a sneak peak of the outcome from our Ikea trip yesterday...
Though I will resist the urge to tell you directly what is going on you can be assured I am mucho exciteedo (that is E's way of speaking Spanish - he adds an O to the end of any word...charming, right?). This all started with my post yesterday and my dream office shown here:
Seriously, can you guess it? I really hate to give away my surprise...Oh, geeze, who am I foolin'! I can't keep this a secret!! It is too exciting for me!!
I AM RECREATING THIS OFFICE!! RIGHT NOW - AS I TYPE!!! IT IS HAPPENING!!!
Phewww - I am glad I got that out! After reading yesterdays post (Big brownie points to my husband!) E insisted that we head to Ikea and buy exactly what I wanted. This is a hard one for me as I like to reuse things we have in the house or create what we need from scratch but when it comes down to it me getting what I wanted and getting it soon done pulled rank here. I have been circling this office project for a long time now and I think he was done seeing me at odds with it...sometimes we need the encouragement to spend!
My dream office is from a Martha Stewart article seen here and circulated throughout Blog Land. Take some time to check out her whole post as it is fab - I am loving the entire house and design but this office is sooo within reach of what I can do!! Obviously my office will be a bit different here and there but the overall design will be the same. It turns out no matter how much I love my current desk it just doesn't have all that I need I require for an office space. My plan is to incorporate my current desk (after a quick zip of the circular saw) on one end and a new door table top for the long side but who knows if that will change between now and completion! Oh, and the shelf thing from this weekend (seen here)...though I love the fabric shelf, this just isn't what I had in mind for my space.
I hope to be able to reveal parts of this transformation as I go along. I am also hoping to have this baby finished by Sunday when we host our First Annual Oscars Showdown. NO PRESSURE!!!
Please stay tuned for updates and progress shots...
