DIY Project 2 - Office Update

I was very tempted to buy a tassel garland to drape over my desk - but I wanted to be a little different and decided to make something of my very own. This DIY requires only a glue gun and old paint samples simple and costs NOTHING what could be better?

DIY Project - Office Renovation

This old shelving cabinet was left at our house when we moved in. I added crystal knobs a year ago..but now I am ready to take it up a notch. I'm feeling a splash of teal/turquoise comings it's way

Update - used the paint colour Thai Teal  it's a really fun minty colour that adds that brightness to my office!

Day 1 - Office Renovation

I want to revamp my office without spending a lot of money so I am using my DIY knowledge aka pinterest and my creativity to do a makeover on a budget! 

I was in a need of shelving unit to organize all of my purchases and staging accessories - I installed 8 foot simple white shelves and they did the trick! At $14 per shelf this fit nicely into my budget!
