We’re starting the somewhat momentous project of turning our dining room into a school room for Captain Science/office for Officer Daddyman. We pulled out all the furniture on Friday and sold it in a garage sale on Saturday, in order to buy the first piece of school furniture.
This is what it currently looks like:
What a mess! School books are all piled up on the piano! Ack! Nightmare! Hopefully, we’ll be able to hit IKEA on Wednesday and purchase our desk. We’re doing the room in the EXPEDIT series, including this bookshelf attached to the desk and at least one of the door inserts. The only question right now is which color to choose. I think the “walnut effect” looks better against the paint, but the “brown-black” is nicer looking in (the walnut veneer looks a little cheap) and could easily be used in other rooms.
This is my mockup of the two different furniture colors against our wall. Thoughts?
