The Office!!

I took some time off work and finally redid the office in my house! I have had tan walls since I was 18, moving from apartment to apartment, but now I have a house... Now I finally have freedom from tan!!

The office had become a dumping ground for our random shit and place to hide shit when people come over.


BEFORE PICS OF DOOM

Random shit, notice how it is easy to step over, therefore easy to ignore.

My desk on the left, his on the right. Notice the printer is on those rickety wire shelves.
Printing stuff was an interesting process.

The closet. Don't judge me.



Ugh, boring ceiling!

The ceiling fan - surprisingly awesome!


 Doing the things!
Monday

Taping and cleaning

Clearing stuff out!



Starting painting!

Ceiling is now black! We've got glow in the dark planets with the sun in the middle.

SPARKLES!
 ...I couldn't help myself...

Tuesday

Going in sections around the walls. Top layer is black.

Second layer! Two parts black one part blue.

Third layer! Two parts blue one part black.

Wall!! I am not too good at blending but eh

Hard to convey but the black parts sparkle!
The aftermath


Daytime!

Nighttime!

Moon clock! It glows in the dark!

OMG SPARKLES!

Wall shot!

Wednesday/Thursday

(Wednesday was mostly going through shit and throwing it away and/or donating it)

It screws into the wall! Whaaat!
Ignore the baseboard. But now I know how to tape so shut up. 

FJ's Desk! And what is that over there?

Oh yes, look at that closet!

My desk!

Fancy adult shelf, because I adult sometimes.



End result!

Daytime!
Yes we have recliners, get over it.

CAVE-time!

And now, relax-time!

I own a house!

Last summer after we initially moved in it was time to set up the living room entertainment.

There is a fireplace and a wall cut-out above it. There already was an outlet and a cut out that just had a coax cable to the basement, an HDMI cable to the pantry in the kitchen, and a cat5 cable that went to the attic.

There was one previous owner and he clearly was a mysterious man.


Studly Stud helped marked where the stud was. Good job Studly Stud!


The side... currently a blank wall...


Rawr! I exacto-knifed the shit out of it!


The face plate! I found a great site (I will link to it when I remember) that had lots of connectors and face plates. Also: you might not be able to tell, fair reader, but the connectors are in little cubes, the whole set up is modular! Yea!


Look at those properly organized tentacles!


Action shot: devices on the bookshelf on the left, HDMI ports on the right easy to plug into!


Whole process took three days, mostly waiting on things to arrive and going to work. And I think it was < $40.
