§ Aight Den.

Den to Office Refresh

A 1970s den cleared out and rebuilt as a clean, open home office with built-in storage and fresh finishes throughout.

The den had good bones but it was tired. Popcorn ceiling, dark trim, a layout that did not have a clear purpose anymore. I needed a home office. This room was going to become one.

After

I scraped the popcorn ceiling, repaired the drywall, and painted everything fresh. Then I borrowed some square footage from an adjacent closet and built a bookshelf and cabinet into the wall. It gave the room storage without taking up floor space.

The result is a big, open workspace. Nothing competing for your attention. Just room to work.
