Daniel's Office

We didn't quite squeeze this in at the end of 2014, but we got it done in the first month of 2015! So, we're off to a good start. The room was a dark blue when we moved in with window treatments in a nautical fabric. Daniel knew he wanted to change this and I encouraged him to do so before setting up his desk, etc., but he would not have that. Then he delayed the project because he never wanted to take everything down and set it back up...
Fast forward a couple years and here we are. He finally tore everything down and we knocked this out over the holiday weekend (yes, we did this- and the bathroom- before the snow day post, but I had to get that cuteness up). And since Daniel is largely keeping the same decor, we only spent money on paint and fabric for the "curtains."


The window treatment I re-covered. You can see the old nautical fabric above- nice, but not Daniel's style- and the new fabric he picked out below.
Daniel built this over-the-chair table and is so proud of it. He'd been using a tv tray for awhile and we never found an end table just right to fit this space. We saw the idea somewhere and he went with it- didn't follow a blueprint or anything, just built it! The tray is perfect for the space and can be removed if necessary. 

Daniel had initial choice over what color and fabric he wanted for his room. After he picked several swatches, we narrowed down the color and both agreed on this. I love it! The perfect blend of grey/blue and his decor still goes very nicely. We found the coat hanger at Lowe's and love it... so much that I would prefer it in another room rather than behind his door, but he needed it and really liked it too. We bought the fabric a long time ago and I almost re-covered them several times but I'm glad I waited for the big finish. They really pop off the wall. I love how it turned out and more importantly so does Daniel!
