#170...hilary's office nook

My client Hilary had a blank wall between her kitchen and living room that she wanted to turn into a little office for herself. Here is her blank canvas..........
and here is her new office............

Hilary's Mom found her the desk on Craigslist, and we painted it turquoise, and changed out the pulls. This is what it looked like before...

We also bought some iron shelf brackets from Lowe's and had wood cut to make the shelves. We stained it to coordinate with the other warm woods in her home. I made her the bulletin board from a thrift store frame, upholstery tacks, and leftover fabric from the desk chair slipcover.
