Decorating a home office: Progress

Posted on 10:41 AM by Creative in Chicago
Dear Chicago House,

Whew, boy did I ache when I had finished painting your office last week. Would you like a sneak peak of how it is looking today. I have a lot more to do like adding a gallery of art and putting up a floating shelf but already it feels so much better.


Bye bye to
  • Dark wood trim
  • Beige walls
  • dark stained built-ins
  • More horrible window treatments
Hello to
  • Crisp white trim
  • White built-ins
  • Soft blue walls (Aqua Breeze from Behr)
  • Naked windows!
Remember how you used to be?


I can't wait to get going and make you complete, it is going to take time as I am snowed under with work as The Chicago web designer and also dealing with web design companies that have stolen my testimonials (I "out" them on my testimonial thieves wall of shame ..ha , don't mess with me! )

Love from

Creative in Chicago

    1. Salla a window seat would be fabulous...but there is a vent right where it would go and this room is on the cold side so I need all the heat I can get!

    1. Don't feel bad about complaining I think bathrooms are the worst rooms to paint..small and so many areas to cut in, give me huge expansive walls any day
