After painting and stenciling our office walls (check that out here), next up was to start to move some furniture back into the room and I wanted to start with my DIY Office Desk.

Stenciling A Wall: Tips and Tricks
Stenciling A Wall: Tips and Tricks - One room that we have neglected up until now has been our office-slash-guest-bedroom. Our house is 3-bed/2-bath, but since we rent out the basement as a 1-bedroom apartment, that second bedroom upstairs has to do double duty. Here's the room (sorry- ultra messy) pre-makeover.

Have you seen those gorgeous capiz chandeliers, like this one at the home depot or this one from worldmarket?
