Jenny had an extra room, about the size of large walk-in closet, that was relatively dull and unused. With a little bit of sheet rock and floor repair, and a new color scheme, this closet transformed into a nice little office/study space.
One of the difficult parts of this project was deciding on a color scheme. With only one northerly facing window, we were somewhat limited with our color choices because blues (original color Jenny desired) do not react well with northern light. Reds and yellows were too overstimulating/lively for the space. Browns were out, because the apartment had two rooms already painted in shades of brown.
The final color was perfect, as you can see. We decided on Martha Stewart's Sultana which is a nice green with several shots of yellow in it. The end result was applied in a matte finish and gave the space a warm and airy feeling while also having a calm and sophisticated feel to it. Perfect for any study!
