The idea to cover the lampshade came after last month's post about burlap. It was so simple, easy, and cheap! I'm very happy with the results. Click here for instructions on how to revamp your old lampshade.
If you have the option, I recommend positioning your desk in front of your window. Taking in a view from the outdoors is much more enjoyable than looking at a wall. If you are a nosy neighbor like I am, this is the place to be!

Here are the above-mentioned reupholstered seat cushions. Originally covered in a cream microfiber, the chair had the shape I desired, but it desperately needed a punch of color. I purchased a yard of the Saralisa fabric from Ikea for $8.99, cocked and loaded my staple gun, and went to work on every chair in my office that had a cushion. Click here to see how.
I am finally at point where I feel comfortable with the look and feel of my new office. There are just couple of items on my list, such as purchasing a new office chair and perhaps creating a gallery wall opposite my desk. In the Spring, I will paint, switch out the curtains, and reupholster the seat cushions. Aside from these things, it's on to Ava's room. SIDE NOTE: I can't wait to show you the piece I scored on Craigslist! It's going to be adorable when I'm done!
So what do you think of the new office space?
