Oh the home office.  Being in a basement...it has small windows.  Being in the corner of the house...it has 2 cinderblock walls.  It's also very small (which we don't mind) and has pipes on the ceiling that were painted to match the ceiling.  It needs a remodel.  Bad.  I've decided to start with paint.  We've decided that we both love orange.  But orange in and of itself is rather...um, bright?  I also think too much orange can be rather obnoxious.  So.  We have decided to pair that with blue.  Love the two of those together.  Here are some fun pics to show you what we're thinking...

However, in our office, all the boxes, chinese laterns, etc would be in orange as a contrasting color.

The blue in this picture looks more gray to me but it gives you a good idea of mixing the 2 colors.  Love the dimension that the staggering bookcases bring into the room...

Love how creative this person was with squeezing in a home office into an alcove in their kitchen.  So bright and cheery and love how it all works together...

So.  We're not sure exactly what we'll be doing...I'll be putting together a idea board next week...but it's a start!
