Freshening up the old office with Behr's Burnished Clay

        Hubby and I spent the weekend freshening up our old office. We've been in a season of decluttering. We continue to fill up boxes and drop them off at Goodwill. How can two people accumulate so much stuff? I haven't used this space as an office in years. It's more of a prayer and reading room for me. This is where you'll find me at 2am or 3am praying, thinking, writing. I moved my desk to my Master bedroom and placed it in front of a window with a beautiful view to our fountain and birds who enjoy it.

 The new paint color for our front room is Burnished Clay by Behr.

My hubby. I think the hardest part about painting is all the prep work. Removing socket covers, wall art and hooks. Then patching up holes etc. It's always worth it in the end.

It feels light and bright now

The final look!
I love reading in here on a sunny day and praying in here in the evenings.

Tight Budget

Do you have a tight budget?  A few small changes can make a huge difference!

- remove the clutter - removing clutter will make your space feel clean and enlarged.

- rearrange furniture - moving your furniture will make your space feel new, fresh and many times bigger. It's a wonderful way to give your space a whole new feel.

- use what you have - look around your house and find items that aren't really being used, and use them in the space you're reworking.

- buy a few unique pieces - a few unique/dramatic pieces will add visual interest.

- accent pillows or rug - new accent pillows or a new area rug will easily change the feel of any space

- paint - paint white cold walls! A warmer cream color is better than stark white! Think about adding an accent wall if you aren't interested in painting the entire space.

So you see, there are lots of fun, easy and inexpensive ways to update any space!!
