That space is really the only untouched space in our whole house - it looks exactly like it looked when we bought the place back in 2006. Well, except for a few new cracks in the plaster from last year's serious of quakes. Otherwise, boring, bland, and blah.
Since I plan to paint a chalkboard wall in the kitchen right outside that space I don't think I want to go too dark. In fact, contrary to my love for deep, saturated color in the rest of the house, I think I want to re-paint all the trim and ceiling a bright white, and then put a very pale gray on the walls. Almost a white. Just a little depth, you know?
And, going back to Hilary's post, I would love, love, love to find a Federal-style mirror to put on the wall opposite my office door. See how pretty they are:
I'd also love to change the lighting in that space as currently we've got the standard $29.99 nipple light from Home Depot. I'd love to go super fancy and girly with a crystal chandelier, but I'm not sure the space is large enough. Perhaps I could go with something like this inexpensive option from Ikea.
Anyone have the Kristaller?
