Before and After: Office in the Den
November 9, 2009
The office and guest/grandma’s room shared the same space for a long time. We finally came to a realization that the office could be taken out to the den (aka. the television room).
The corner of the den was always an armpit. It was originally a shingled wall that Philip’s daddy-o took out.

Then it became a catchall of shoes and in-limbo furniture that would never be used. We finally were able to make the space functional with two filing cabinets and installing an L-desk (thank you Ikea’s as-is section and Home Depot’s lumber department for cutting). Magnetic boards were also from Ikea.
We found the vintage hanging light at a local lighting store that has been advertising an out of business sale for over a year. There’s no maker marking on the light but the retailer wrote “Mobilite 8193″ on the receipt. We haven’t found any info on this model of anything similar to it and would love to know it’s year and maker history. If you have any idea, please send us an email.
