Office Makeover No2....

Way back in early 2015, I did an $18 office makeover.
But time and wear have occurred.
The paint on the desktop has not worn well.
The satin chair fabric needs replacing.
And then the wine accident happened!
One evening, I went to my little office with my very large glass of red to sit and check emails, 
and peruse other wonderful blogs when....
You guessed it -
I dropped the glass of red.
I discovered a few things in the moments following.
#One should never attempt to catch the dropped glass of wine.
#That red wine hurts if you get it in your eye.
#Grey hair turns a pretty (but winery-smelling) shade of burgundy.
#The law of gravity does not apply to red wine spillage - as it went up, down and sideways!
#Red wine stains wallpaper, painted walls.
Now it was definitely time to make over the office again.
This time round, the makeover was based on a beautiful photographic print.
(yes - ironic I know that it is red!)

Funny Greg! Love my red wine. And for a mad moment did think - must not drink wine while in my office. Let's just say lesson learnt - I am super careful now! ;)
