Computer Room Redo

I am linking up with Deborah today at Common Ground for her 

Vintage Friday Inspiration Blog Hop

New projects are always inspiring and when finished so satisfying.

 Several weeks ago now I started a project of redecorating my computer room. It is a small room off the front entry way. 

The before pictures are here, and the steps of what I did also... 
it wasn't pretty! 

It has been more work than I had anticipated, such is the way projects go, but as promised I have pictures today of the final look. 

My son James hung the cupboard that I got in AZ, we did a little investigating on the internet. I had mentioned I thought it was pharmaceutical but we found a patent # and looked it up. It was a kitchen cupboard with a coffee grinder in it.

I am still not done completely. I will be recovering the computer chair, as you know good computer chairs are expensive, ugly but a must have.

I am disappointed in my pictures but the lighting was just bad today.

I love my heart I got from Dorthe, it has a place of honor

I have a thing for old hardware... I have put it on the bookcase and where ever I could in here. I had fun.

I am not liking all the mishmash of color the books give in my monochromatic world here, so eventually I will cover them with recycled craft paper.

Do you remember the huge ugly doors, that I took off and now have replaced with this skirt I made from old European linen. I really am pleased with the look.

 Most of the pictures you see are family...

My printer problems were solved with a wireless, so I could put it here. Ha I didn't even know it was wireless until I looked closer!

I got this fabulous wreath from Theresa aka TOT at Time Worn Interiors, she makes them out of old bed springs... I jazzed it up a bit.

I added some of my favorite things, the music-picture card was from my talented buddy Lisa at Tarnished and Tattered

This is an old Carol Bolton trick (she was so ahead of her time) and I was reminded of it on Lisa's post this past week. It was perfect timing as I was trying to determine what to do with this space and the books are perfect for this room. Thanks Lisa!

  

So, are you tired of pictures yet?
