The (Almost) Finished Office

Here is the office! It's not completely finished, but I can work in it now. There will be two chairs for meetings and obviously lots of images on the walls.
Desk from Ikea, customized by Ian.






Creating an Office

Above is what the dividing wall between the living room and dining room looked like BEFORE...
Step 1.: Demo

Step 2: Framing the new wall
The living room...thankfully we weren't living in the house yet, yikes!
Step 3: Drywall up...starting to take shape
Step 4: Paint and office building
Ikea cabinets and the beginnings of the desk.
Still a bit scary looking...we were living in the house at that point....

...did I mention ALL of the above project took place within 2 WEEKS?!? I'm surprised Ian isn't dead. The finished office coming next!

Closing Day!

It's officially ours! Here are some pictures of the house, as it looked empty.
