Office Reveal!

This post has been a long time in the making… much longer than I’d like to admit.  At least a year, maybe two.  Sometimes projects take a bit longer than intended for unforeseen reasons.  Isn’t that pretty much the way that all home improvement rolls?  I think it is.  Oh well, bottom line is this room is now done!
I started with a mood board and this before pic.

So VERY cute! I've been thinking about painting an IKEA Poang chair white for quite some time....what brand did you use? Does it scrape off if it gets bumped?

Leslie said...

I used Rustoleum and haven't had any problems with scratching.
