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.

That book has come in handy at times, But it is a bit dated.
