Transforming a mess into a workspace


I'm finally feeling that the house is getting into a state that I am comfortable living with.
All of the old traditional  rustic country style is finally gone.

The study area was the last frontier that needed to be converted.

It had been living a double life- that of a study area and that of a dumping ground, for everything that needed to hidden away.
Yep, close the door and it doesn't exist any,more!
Right?

I was sick of closing the door....so finally tackled the last bastion!

No easy feat considering it was painted half way up the walls with Suede effects paint.
Actually it was a lot easier to get rid of than I expected due to Dulux's  acrylic sealer undercoat ultra smooth (no not a sponsored post). We just sanded lightly then gave it one coat of the undercoat and voila! Ready to paint.

So now it looks like this:









where as before it looked like:


During:


Favorite paint color- Dulux Hogs Bristle;


After:



So now it is a bit of a man cave !

Some components of this room are:
Lamp- Freedom stores
Shelving- picked up on sale from Early Settler
Desk- Royce and Royce rustic country decor-Geelong
Lockers- purchased from Ebay and painted with chalk paint
Book boxes- IKEA
Collections: baskets, knick knacks-Ebay and Tyabb Vintage Shed
Clock & Ambersand- Typo
Footy jumper- gift

Still a little bit of tweaking but almost there.

  3. Did you know there's a 12 word phrase you can say to your man... that will induce intense emotions of love and instinctual attraction for you deep within his chest?

    Because hidden in these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's instinct to love, idolize and guard you with his entire heart...

    12 Words That Fuel A Man's Love Instinct

    This instinct is so hardwired into a man's brain that it will make him work better than before to make your relationship as strong as it can be.

    In fact, triggering this mighty instinct is absolutely important to getting the best ever relationship with your man that the moment you send your man one of the "Secret Signals"...

    ...You'll soon find him expose his soul and heart for you in a way he haven't expressed before and he'll recognize you as the one and only woman in the universe who has ever truly tempted him.
