Dave works two days a week at home, so we've been trying to find the best spot for him. This house doesn't have a dedicated office like our last one did, therefore he's moved around the house, looking for that perfect spot.
Once I sold this pool table we inherited with the house ...
... this corner of the basement made the most sense for him to really set up a comfortable space just for him.
We found this soft indoor/outdoor rug (he hates the flooring but it doesn't make sense to do this corner of the basement; we'll wait to do the whole thing) that's grey and checked to ground the area.
My first step was to paint over the starburst mural I did almost as soon as we moved in. I was never a big mural fan to begin with, but I thought this spot out be a cool place to put it. I should have picked brighter colors in a better spectrum. Luckily, I had just a little of the original of the wall paint left to cover it up.
And we've got a clean slate!
Tasks to do:
- Paint the accent color -- which is a deep, dark grey.
- Solve the lighting issue. There are only two can lights at the back of the room (right in the picture), so the work area is dark. I've got a few ideas.
- Set up the two Ikea kitchen tables he'll utilize as desks, until we come up with a better solution (or more budget).
- Rehang and display all his framed art and toys he likes to show off behind him on conference calls.
Easy-Peasy!
