Office Space...little things

Little things...the details are what make decorating a room fun for me. I take a slow approach. I will be working in the office...then I decide to arrange things differently or to bring something in from another room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This lamp has a rice paper shade (flea market find).....with a pretty oversize Conso tassel (Tuesday Morning Outlet)....set on a (red) typewriting textbook (which is the same one I had in high school...Trader Bakers)...and there is the fabric ( Vogue Fabric booth at the Houston Quilt Show several years ago) which I draped over the window.

Butterfly Crayon Stand

99 cents thrift find

Before And After!

I believe that this butterfly stand was meant as a votive candle holder. I picked it up at my thrift store for 99 cents and had absolutely no idea what the end use would be.

I was painting some fabric for an unrelated project and thought that this stand would be pretty painted in the same colors and the same way as the fabric.

Yellow paint helps to blend green and orange

I painted the stand in these colors of craft paint, blending the colors as I went along.

 As you can see, I concentrated some areas of green and orange and used the yellow to blend the colors.

I found the glass cups and added the crayons. My little grandchildren love to color using this little stand.
