Fixing up the downstairs office

I'm throwing a baby shower for a friend in June so I feel pressed to make the downstairs as presentable as can be. Clint picked up this used desk for me, of course it had to be painted black to match everything else downstairs. While prepping it I found a crack in the leg and had to fix it before I could paint. I have that done and it all painted now. I just have to Paint up the handles to match. I'm not sure what type of style I want to go with in there but it has to match the black furniture and the yellow/beige walls I don't really feel up to painting the walls. I'm thinking burnt orange and yellow again burnt orange satin valences and maybe fleur de lis stenciled or not maybe wallpaper. Usually I hate both and techniques and find them tacky if not done right. But when we were house hunting I fell in love with one homes bathroom because it had 3"x 3" fleur de lis wallpaper and the background was a pale yellow and the fleurs were a coral It looked stunning. Just not sure what route I want to take to get there or if I want to go down that road.

Very messy rooms

This is my bathroom where all the hairspray and makeup live. The water does not get hot in this bathroom. We don't know why one day we will fix it but not right now. I use the master to shower. If any one knows has any information that could be of assistance please leave a comment.

This is a hallway closet I need to organize as you can see I've started to stock up on things on sale gotta love that love having space to do that.

This is Clint's messy office slash snake room. One day room you will be remade into every computer nerds fantasy.

This room is the room I am most ashamed of. As you can see Clint and I splurged a little... went out and bought our own personal black hole. We store it in what will be the guests spare bedroom one day, has a view of the strip at night. Right now all the gravitational suck has pulled random items that are no longer useful to us into itself.

More photos of around the house

Now a lot of these are before photos with afters we haven't gotten to yet. As you know Clint works More than full time and go's to school too and I work more than full time too. Running a household and creating it's atmosphere takes a lot of time were both pretty sparse on but just to get a feel for what the rest of the house looks like here's going up stairs and a tad more
