Office Space
Well, we finally got our office in order. Since my boyfriend and I both work from home, we need to share our work space. We found facing desks was the best layout for optimizing the small room. At first, I wasn’t crazy about his chunky oak library desk, but seeing it against my cobalt blue and chrome desk, it actually works. We finally found another Aeron chair at an estate sale (I took his when we moved in together). Being a selective Ikea fan, the bookcase grew on me after we used it for about a year as a headboard-see last picture. The windows still need something though. I think I’m going to go with a roller shade from the Dwell line via The Shade Store.
The “Anna” was a present from Luby. He made it from a 1950’s doctors sign. I saw it at an auction and thought the font was great. He went back and bought it and put it together for me. What a great surprise!
Sorta hard to see the bookcase, but this is the only picture I could find of the old bedroom. The bed frame is from West Elm. I really miss having the bookcase there, but the new bedroom is unfortunately, a bit smaller.

How did you convert the shelves? We have the same set (from Luby, coincidentally) but I really like the look of them in your office. Tell us the secret to your Ikea makeover!
Sorry, no conversion. I just realized that was the other bookcase (we have two, but the one we used as a headboard is the slightly smaller one). I also like them used as room dividers! Yay Ikea.
