Office Wall Collage

April 1, 2013

 Our  “office” was actually intended to be a formal dining area. At this point in our life  a formal dining area seemed impractical. What  I really needed was and office/sewing room.    The only problem was that  the room  was practically part of the front entry.  So I needed to make it cohesive,and have some flow leading into the living room
This is what the previous owners did… hmm…
 

My vision for the office was this,  it needed to be functional (see craft cabinet ideas here) , and it involved  a lot of frames.  I wanted lots of texture and contrast, but most importantly it needed to be done cheaply.  So here is what  I did.

 
 
 

I went to thrift store and found a plethora  of frames, any size and shape, as long as they were cheap and all wood they fit the bill.  I think I spent maybe $15.00 on all of them.   I brought them home and laid them out on the GROUND it is much  easier to create a collage if you simply rearrange without putting new holes in the wall.  Once I found  a good arrangment I then put them up on the wall.

Once I had them up on the wall I went through and used post it notes and wrote out what colors I would want them to be.  Then I got to work sanding and painting.
 I chose a natural light wood, black, white and a terrecota colors as my  color scheme for the frames.
 Don’t be afraid to mix it up,  I also incorporated some chalk boards, mirrors,  signs, and plaques.  A collage can have more than just frames!
 
  Here is the final result,  I added a few shelves and added terecotta planters to help carry the color.  I rather love the way it turned out!

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.

The bathroom reveal is LIVE! Here is just one The bathroom reveal is LIVE! 

 Here is just one small view of this new, improved, and somewhat magical bathroom.  I have been dreaming about remodeling my bathroom for years and I can finally say it was worth the work and the wait. 
 For real though, can you even get enough of this tile ?? I know I can’t get enough, but I certainly knew HOW much to get. Did you know that The Home Depot app has project calculators for a wide range of materials INCLUDING tile, so you  can know exactly how much product you  need? You better believe it!
 I have details about this feature and more reveal images on the site today.

Sneak Peek… of our completely renovated master b Sneak Peek… of our completely renovated master bathroom!  I have put off giving our bathroom a makeover for 5 years.  I think there are a lot of reasons people put off big projects … time, money, skills, knowledge, tools?  While The Home Depot can’t completely eliminate the list, they can certainly shorten it!  With a library of “How-to Guides”, helpful resources like “Project Calculator” and a vast inventory of tools to rent The Home Depot can certainly make any daunting project more achievable.

My organizing heart could just burst!! I’m still My organizing heart could just burst!! I’m still organizing the kitchen, but so far I have fit all the contents from the existing pantry AND freed up an entire lower and upper cabinet that contained pantry items.  #winning
Would you believe me if I told you that where this Would you believe me if I told you that where this beautiful custom-built pantry sits, used to be a small builder grade closet? Talk about untapped potential!? While the closet/pantry served its purpose, the space was not well utilized and was altogether unremarkable. With the help of The Home Depot this pantry is not only extremely functional it is a gorgeous feature in my kitchen. 
Sometimes we might look past or forget the untapped potential and resources. 
For example, did you know The Home Depot has a TON of resources to help you with your projects?  Did you know that you can do image search in their mobile app? Yup! Just take a picture of the needed item scan it on your app and find the product in a flash! In fact you  can add it right to your cart and have it ready to be picked up at available stores or lockers!
