James' Office

We were able to make major headway in James' office today. Yesterday we cleaned. I promise we did not throw any valuable papers away, we just sorted and rearranged and found that he had about 10 half empty boxes that are now consolidated. Today we painted. The walls look amazing, i don't know if my pictures will do justice to the room. We also ran a few errands, and I found the neatest chair for $5.00 at a thrift store! Perfectly suited to the style of his new office, it also looks like it is probably pretty valuable. The chair is manufactured by Century Furniture as part of their Chin Hua line,which was part of a big 70's craze for Chinese replica furniture. We also found a vintage barjello pillow and an old footstool that I recovered today, all for a whopping $12.00. For the windows we found a great tablecloth which will be made into shades. Trust me, it is really cool. I couldn't find a picture of it on Target's website, but i will be sure to post photos when the windows are done! And, I am really excited to go to Iowa next weekend where my Grandma has this big amazing shelf built by my Great-Grandpa that we are going to load up and bring home, and then hopefully the room will all fall into place! I will show you a few pictures from today. I want to tell you about all the plans I have, but I need to leave a few things for a suprise for James...... at least for one more day!

Yes, Aidan helped me paint. He had to color in his square.

His name (kind of.) He rearranges all the letters.

I have the chair in the corner here so you can see both wall colors. The footstool is also in the picture. You can't really tell but I recovered it with a brown and white retro-check.
