Office Remodel

Since I got home at the end of October I've been in the middle of one remodeling project or another.  The first project, my home office, while not finished, is coming along and I thought I'd share where some of my creative energy has been going lately.  Best of all, I pulled my camera out for the first time this week so I could share my progress.

I've never really tried to photograph a room - it was challenging and I have a LOT to learn, but it was fun to play with angles.  My big challenge was the light coming through the large windows.  I didn't realize how poor my exposure was until I pulled the photos up in Photoshop, which just gave me an excuse to try and learn a few new things in Photoshop.  I wasn't completely successful in transforming the photos but , I finally attempted using adjustment layers a curves a big step forward for someone who usually just applies an action and goes with it.  The final lesson was that I need to make some time to take some of Kim Klassen's classes if I ever want to take it to the next level.

I think I'm going to tease you today and just share the before and inspiration photos for the office and make you come back on Wednesday for some after photos.

Pros:  A huge room, fantastic windows with an amazing view

Cons: blah colors, worn out carpet

The Inspiration:  Emily A Clark's Office
What I loved: dark walls, white furniture, flashes of color

I discovered Carrie Newcomer this week thanks to the music collection at my local library.  Her voice is gorgeous and she has a song that is perfect for this post "Before & After."
