This is a painted wooden sign I picked up at a craft show years ago. It is now hanging on the door to his office.
Before
After
Note the shelves in the background. They are just some old garage shelving that hold all my basket weaving supplies. The yellow, green and blue plastic drawers are full of reed.
All the reed is hidden now behind a screen I made using extra curtains. They are held in place with velcro. Still a little storage for me yet Mike doesn't have to look at it.
The paint color is Bear Burnt Almond from Home Depot. The furniture is from Sam's Club. The ceiling fan is from Lowes. The lamp on the desk is also from Lowes. The picture frames are from Hobby Lobby. The curtains and rod are from Walmart. Everything else is items that we already had.
To pull this off, Mike's parents came in for a surprise visit for him. Mike was traveling this entire week in Washington and had no clue this was happening. When he left on Monday I got started clearing out the room and painting it. When his parents arrived on Wednesday we went and picked up the furniture and spent the remainder of the week putting it together and hanging the curtains and ceiling fan. My basket weaving supplies are still on shelves in the room, but I bought extra curtains that I hemmed and applied velcro. I attached the curtains to the shelves to make a screen so the basket weaving supplies are no longer visible.
Mike was so surprised and happy. He loves his new office.
Love and Blessings,
Nancy

Nancy...you created such a great office for your dh, Mike. I bet he was soooo shocked and thrilled! What a great makeover and such a wonderful thing to do. The curtains in front of the shelving was a great idea! The office looks elegant and manly, all at the same time. Thanks for sharing this transformation! Susan
