A "Chic and Shabby" office design


I always wanted to create a space in our home for my office in a way that I create space in my booths at the stores where I sell.... this is my chippy, shabby, rusty office design :)







Peeling veneer isn't easy to replace, so I add primitive weathered wood over the top for a quick fix.




The ladder is resting on the door at the other end, and this end is suspended with the heavy rusty chain.

Vintage furniture re-purposed

Paint was lightly dragged over the dried wood finish, then sanded on the edges.

Machine was removed, top was screwed down. Just add a lamp and your pretty collections :)

2 oak drawers flipped upside down.  Legs attached on the sides to create a table for planting, or serving food/beverages.

A shabby window was attached to the back for interest.  A hook allows for a sign, or a hanging pot.


Similar idea as before... this sturdy drawer had great advertising on the side.


Picket fence parts were added as table legs.

Just a whimsical thought. This pot was jacked up on the side, so I screwed an old belt around the top.

Add burlap, dirt and it's ready for a plant ;)
