I'm so happy to share today's post that's 6 years in the making. Take a tour of our family's home office complete with a custom desk build, updated wall color and textured basket storage. Scroll to the bottom of the post to find resources from this room tour! First let's take a glimpse of what our foyer and home office used to look like 6 years ago (and stayed that way for a few years): As mentioned in my rookie home decorating mistakes post, we were naive home owners and this was also one of those rooms where we tried to match the paint color that was already there instead of choosing our own. Yes, we kept that ugly pinky/taupey color the previous owners used! We just didn't seem to get the concept that this was our home and we could do whatever we wanted with it!

It's been over a year and a half since we've seen one of his awesome creations but I'm happy to announce the streak is over! Welcome to Frank's family theater room reveal! When Frank and Lauren, my sister-in-law, moved into their home, they had an unfinished basement. Frank had big plans for this space and has done an amazing job with the makeover.
