One Thing I'll Say about Linda and the ORC. She gets her ORC'ers Ready, Committed ... and Motivated. Good Thing. Because the Challenge is BIG and I needed the Push!
MY Illusion-Office is becoming a Reality. Go Visit the Disaster To see How this all started!
About five years ago ... I got my own toolbox for Christmas. I know, probably doesn't sound like much to the average girl. One of my best presents ever!! Don got tired of me stealing his tools ... well, now I don't have to, and DARE him to touch mine!
But I did swipe this air compressor.

Don't get me MAD.
Last Week Paul and Joe built my Wall. Now the fun part. Since I chose this fabric, I need to prep the plywood. Fabric straight on board is stiff and hard and doesn't look friendly.
So ... Batting up The Board.
Batting Hung.
Fabric Hung.
Trim Wainscoting Happening.
The Corners ... Taking Shape!
Up-Close Detail of trim and fabric. I am thrilled with the "texture" of the fabric!
Paneling.
Crown Moulding.
We have some Wrinkles to be worked out.
Here's what is happening Behind the Wall:
ArtWork ... HomeMade
I NEED 2 Cheap & Fun Chandeliers ... HELP!
Painting The China Hutch - UGH!
Organizing ... hasn't even come into the Picture!

This is really taking shape, literally! Love the panels you're creating!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and original. I love that you have your own tools. I have my own too but husband does steal them!
ReplyDeleteYou can say it...I'm a total pain. This is looking so fantastic. I would say CL for the chandeliers, but a pair is really hard to find. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteYou are NO pain!! you just give me a good swift push in the right direction!! Thank you!! xo
DeleteThis is really a great idea and coming along beautifully. Well done.
ReplyDeleteLove love that wall treatment and trim! Great job Kim. I'm sending you some chandelier ideas on making over cheap ones. I got some at Habitat for Humanity for $3.00 and painted them but there are more creative ideas I'll share. Good luck with it all. the organizing is a hefty piece of it all, but hopefully it will be so motivating once the bones of the space is done. Best of luck friend!

Your paneling is so clever ~ great job! Can't wait to see what you pull out from behind there for next week!
ReplyDeleteLooks interesting...cant wait to see what your doing and how its going to look. Ive always wanted to try putting fabric on a wall....
ReplyDeleteLOVE your trim paneling!! Looks great! As for cheap chandeliers, try your Habitat for Humanity ReStore. You can usually find some cheap options that you can alert/spray.
ReplyDeleteColor me impressed out the wazoo! That paneling is AWESOME. Very copy-cat worthy.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing and is so clever! And that Linda, she sure is a task master!!!
ReplyDeleteShe keeps my ADD focused Cathy!!
DeleteYou're plate is full but it is coming together! The wall looks really fantastic...sounds like you have some shopping to do for the lights...may the force be with you:)
ReplyDeleteThis wall is awesome! Its such a great solution to creating a space without having to do major demo- for a renter like me this is a great idea on so many levels. Speaking of great ideas, I LOVE how you upholstered it- its looking amazing!
ReplyDeleteAmazing. This takes more imagination and talent than designing a real room!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is fun! Can't wait to see this "room" come together!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's meticulous work for an "illusion" office!! It is coming along beautifully though, I'm so excited to see it all come together - the plan and with what's here so far is making me imagine a gorgeous space. ;-)

ReplyDeleteI adore the trim!! Great work.
ReplyDeleteWow! Looking great! Love the softness and the "paneling!"
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Enjoy painting the hutch!
ReplyDeleteAs a few other said...that fabric adds so much softness to the room. I like how you trimmed it out and I know that in the end this room is going to be a great space.
ReplyDeleteWow- really impressive Kim!!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with you right now. Power tools and creativity? This space is going to shine!
