For a long time I’ve wanted to get my hands Matt’s office and redesign it. It’s not the ideal space for what he does but it’s all we have. When buying our house, it was high on the list to get a good space for both my design work and Matt’s office space but unfortunately we couldn’t find what we needed.
So the room: It’s the third bedroom / study. No built in
cupboards and smaller than the rest of the bedroom. It’s used as an office / music
room. Matt spends a lot of time in there to practice music and also work from
home stuff. It’s also used to store a lot of computer parts, cords, electrical
stuff and folders.
We need lots of storage space, shelves, drawers, places that
could hide some of the ugly stuff and also plenty of bench space while leaving
open floor space.
The design: I designed the room to have a full length desk
which sits on two large drawers at each end. Above it there will be full length
tri-shelves broken into pigeon holes. On
the opposite side of the room will be our filing cabinets which will later be
replaced with a combined bookcase / filing cabinet.
All the trims and furniture will be white with a dark beige wall
colour.
Before: Matt and Bella working hard
Shelves falling into shape
Getting it onto the wall wasn't as difficult as expected :)
"That's Plumb!"
The final product.
The project took seven days to complete from painting the room to haing everything back in its place. It was a huge project but we got there. What do you think?
Stay tuned for more projects.
