Office Remodel
March 6, 2008
Filed under General
Shortly after (my former officemate and) I got my old office fixed up nice (in fact almost immediately after), my boss decided to convert it into a conference room. I didn’t mind too much because I got moved into my own individual office (a couple of my co-workers unfortunately got laid off, and I got one of those offices). The downside is I was back in an office with obnoxious stark white walls. Worse yet, under the chair rail has this gross “wallpaper” that’s made of some sorta grasses, and I’m not allowed to remove it because, while I’m free to paint the walls, the grass paper belongs to the building’s owner and not our company so we can’t remove it. I’ve been in here for months now, but I finally got around to painting it.
I should have taken a before picture but all I’ve done so far is paint so just imagine everything that is now green as being bright white and you’ll get a good idea of where I started. I’m really digging the color considering that I had to choose something that went with the grass paper and the darker wood tone of the molding. As I get the spare cash to do so, I’ll probably put some kind of mirror on the wall behind me (I’m thinking of doing a grid pattern of smaller, frame-less square mirrors) and on the wall in front of me I’ll probably hang a floating shelf with some kind of plant life on it and paint something to hang over it. There’s also a quasi-panoramic view from my desk below though the quality of my cellphone camera made the stitching together of the images not turn how as nice as one might like.
