Office Shelves get a face lift
Hey there! I'm still here, I promise:), just enjoying this Summer weather with my family…..maybe too much. Today I'm excited to share with you a corner of our office that you haven't seen yet…..and for good reason. Up until now, it has been less than noteworthy. A few months ago, we put up some simple shelves with brackets from Lowe's and wood I stained, because we desperately needed some organization since Connor works from home a decent amount. It didn't need to be pretty, just to serve a purpose. I had resigned myself to being ok with the shelves not being my first choice because we just needed some practical organization. A couple months went by, and I was still not pleased with them. They looked too cold and industrial next to the lockers, and I felt there had to be a cheap solution. Then one day I saw some gorgeous brass brackets from Anthropologie and fell in love. Knowing Connor would appreciate not spending a lot of money on something as simple as brackets (that wasn't even in a main area of our house), I opted to spray painting the brackets. I couldn't be more pleased with the end result, and while it helps that I got around to actually styling the shelves (ha), the gold brings a lot of warmth to this corner of the office.
Also, yesterday I was a guest over on the SiebFam blog, thanks for having me Alyssa!
