#132...carribean colored office makeover

This page from Domino's Decorating Book, was the inspiration behind my client Sara's office makeover. Sara's family is from Trinidad, and the bright colors of this room really reminded her of the Carribean. She has collected a lot of brightly colored artwork from the islands, and the ocean blue wall color served as a nice backdrop for her vivid collections.

This room serves as an office, guest room (pull out sofa) and exercise room. We worked with what Sara already had, and added some personality to the room with the vivid colors, new rug, and a few items that I made, including the recovered desk chair and skirted file cabinet, the spruced up side table with mirror that I glued round slices of seashells to, the window pelmet and hand painted lampshade, the large scale abstract art piece that I did on linen and stretched onto a giant wood frame, and the sweet potato stamped desk makeover.
