your thoughts......take a look....
This is a small little office off of the small living room /media area in my Studio apartment. Kind of the size of a small walk-in closet! Many of my furniture pieces are furniture redo's of mine, mixed with pieces we've had for-ever-&-a-day! Eclectic to say the least! I call it my "Cowgirl Shabby Chic Bling Bling Look".....After all, I am Ornery's Cattle Queen !!!
I had acquired Ornery's Oak bookshelves from his old office. They are big and took up a big bit of the room. But, I needed them...I have a huge cookbook collection. My desk is ...half moon shape! Sooo...I tried the 3-D look, placing it on the outside of the room, while the seating is inside the room! I loved the look! It gives a boring room some character.
Since the desk had a 3-D look...I decided to frame my Steer Head! Love, Love, Love it! I also had an awkward fuse box on the wall that could not be covered up gracefully...So, I framed it too! I used an old window frame from my Great Grandparents homestead! Awesome! I love using "family things" to decorate, blending old & cherished with new & stylish!
The room had been painted a deep red...there were some marks and nail holes. I didn't have time to patch & paint. My solution was to sandpaper the paint in those areas and even add a few more spots! Strange I know, but it looked old and worn, yet subtle & not overbearing. Perfect...I love it! (Besides, I figured I could always paint if I had too!) I also distressed the door frame with sandpaper and used some stain over the top to age the look! When the stain dried, I used a wood wax to seal the finish the project! It was the perfect finish to the room!
I added my topiaries here & there and a few other cream colored items. I had a broken frame...so I used the two pieces for the decor on the top of the bookshelves. The blend of colors; creams, gold, silver and the old & new worked beautifully.
I will distress & the remaining wood work through out the Studio as I finalize each area! For now you can see the differences between the woodwork.

I love my Steer & the Bling I added!
The photo tease I posted on PineCreekStyle's Facebook page....Don't forget to visit there also...I do post some items there that I don't on the blog! Make sure you LIKE the page & Share with Style! Would love to see over there too!
Later, I will be decorating the REST of the Studio....Including a small Media area for the two of us, there's a small upstairs studio kitchen, I use for some of my recipes & crafts, along with a couple of work stations. It's our go-to-&-relax room!
Enjoying My New Office with Pine Creek Style...
