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!)
This is what happened next:
The yellow colour way in the office was removed...

Walls were touched up and repainted in Dulux 'Celery' (satin).
The desktop was repainted in 'Paris Grey' chalk paint.
The office chair was recovered in gorgeous new fabric.

An old, bright blue pinboard was painted black.

The old stool was painted with Paris Grey chalk paint, and the rattan was spray-painted with acrylic white.
Details about that HERE.
The cushion was covered in the same fabric as the office chair.
Totally refreshed
- and completely popping with black and hints of red.
My little home office is a joy to work in.
Love, Love, Love!
