Well, I've started on it. The hodge podge of random stuff is out of there and sprinkled all through the house. We sold the super-dusty ceiling fan at the yard sale, so we haven't had overhead light in awhile...which makes us even more anxious to get this room up and functional.
A few things we're going to do:
1. Remove the crumbled plaster in the closet. The plaster is so bad that while we were removing the hanging rod, we heard plaster keys crumbling on the inside, which is not a good sign that this plaster is in good shape. So, we're going to knock it out, leave the laths and put up quarter-inch drywall over it. Then we're going to install a shelving solution so it can store more stuff.
2. Prepare the wall and trim surfaces by patching any holes, cracks, gashes, peeling paint, and other ugly stuff. Then paint it a cool earthy green.
3. Install a new light fixture.
4. Refinish the original 1920's hardwood floors.
5. Replace all switchplates and covers.
We can't wait to get our office ready for stuff, because the space holds all of our books (and we have a lot!) art, filing cabinet, media cabinet, TV, desk, 2 bookcases, a large comfy chair with an ottoman, lamp, side table and decorative stuff. We used this room alot at our last house, so we hope we can get it up to par.
