- the white pine board flooring gives it the feel. i should have done my office in white/antiqued flooring. it would have solidified the transformation. 'carpet' wears out eventually. so will be done. good depiction.

Budget Redo: Home Office Renovation
Who: Kelly and Wayne Averbeck
Where: Jerome, Idaho
What: Used leftovers and bargain buys to age an office to perfection.
Unlike the rest of our 1916 home, this room's good bones were buried under 1950s "updates": pale pine slab-front cabinets that were chipped, and fir floors with a crazy tricolor painted border beneath ugly brown carpeting. We gutted the room, leaving the built-in intact, and had a contractor hang new Sheetrock on the walls.
Shown: White paint and dark pulls refreshed the built-in, while a faux-grain floor and repro sconces added to the space's vintage charm.

I mudded, taped and textured the drywall, then primed, painted and stenciled the walls to look like wallpaper. To make the cabinets look more period, I added strips of lattice around all the doors and drawers. I used a wood graining tool to make the floor look distressed.
