I cleaned off DH desk, then mine. I found a forgotten $22 check on mine, and a $141 check that was never even opened on his desk.
I think the man owes me dinner out--what do you think????
I am wanting to paint the office, but am debating on the color. Right now its eggshell. It has 2 windows that over look the back pasture (horses and ponds) so it gets plenty of light. One door leading into the office (off the kitchen) is a solid oak door, and the door that leads into the living room is a oak and glass door--the glass is the old time wavy glass. The bathroom off of the office is sage green.
The office is kind of a western theme--a horse collar mirror, and a set of 5 large horse pictures framed in hunter green mats with leather frames and brass nails. The desks and file cabinet are also oak.
There is also a love seat in the office that can open into a twin bed, so the room can double as a guest room with its private bath.
I am tired of the eggshell colored walls. Ideally, I'd like to go a leather brown or dark color, but DH thinks that is too dark. (carpet is light tan) I am almost considering wallpapering it. Then I had another idea of a darker tan on the walls and a leather type border, or darker tan and an oak beadboard on the lower part of the walls.
I need a decorator, but I am too frugal to hire one!! (So, I am quizzing you all)
Got paid to clean my own office

It seems that everytime we do serious cleaning, we find something good. Not necessarily money, but things we had long ago lost. Last time, I found a brain teaser game that my daughter loves to play that had been missing in action. Not as good as $163, though. Good job.

I think the bead board, for wainscoting, and tan walls would be nice.
