Finishing the Office

So once the renovation was done - the entire house looked amazing, except for one remaining spot. The small office off of the master bedroom was now painfully unfinished. So in a quick 2-day sprint, we got it finished up. 

the office is just a collection of misplaced items

Paint
First up, I just cleared everything out of the way and painted the walls the same blue-gray as the bedroom. 
all emptied out - but still a mess

Carpet
We knew the floor had to be finished because even though we had a new baseboard heater installed to warm the room, the cement slab was just freezing. We originally wanted to do an engineered floor, but decided wall to wall carpet would be easier. Without time to order anything nicer, we just picked the best in-stock option at home depot and brought it home. In a whirlwind nap break, Spouse got the materials, put down the nail strips, padding, and carpet all in a couple hours.

Trim
So lastly to make it look a little more finished, we put up floor trim. I cut it all and then glued it in place because we knew there was brick behind the sheetrock. Then I painted it and called it a day.

So - this is definitely not our best project. It looks significantly better than before, but we didn't have the time to really do it right. I am proud to say that house projects are done for a while - any every part of this house is now officially finished.
