 So I'm moving to a new office and they are letting us choose our designs... there is a whole slew of different designs going on. I went with these 'flowers'. There will be some color in them.. but very muted.. We have had everything from sponge paint, chevrons, even argyle which turned out super cute... We don't have 'traditional' offices that need to be super conservative.  |

Wow-that is really cool. I love your flowers design. The argyle design I'm afraid would give me a headache after looking at it too long  I'd get lost in the pattern. It's so neat to have a non-traditional office where you can be creative! What kind of work do you do if you don't mind saying. If you do mind-that's okay. |

This is great!
I was excited back in the early 80’s when my principal came to us and said we could choose 1 wall to have a color on it. We also had to choose from the colors we were given. I chose yellow.
It turned out really nice. It helped to calm my 2nd grade classroom.

We only have a few colors to pick from but if we wanted something like pink, if they can mix it we can have it. I'll post another pic when the color is done. There is a hint of pink, my favorite color!! So far I think there have been 10-15 offices done, and all cool looking |

I thought I was going to be pretty in your face but it is really nice and muted.. that will be the wall behind my boss so it's not like she is staring at it. |

At the state's taxpayers expense? lol That is what I was always asked when we received a small perk as I worked in local government. It is a heck of a lot cheaper to put flowers on a wall and keep happy employees than it is dealing with the expense of training employees because of turn over. Just curious what spurred the idea? I know several of our areas had colored accent walls that brightened some areas up.

I thought you did, and when I saw the wall, I decided I had you confused with another person. Glad the authorities allow you to have some fun in the office.

I love it! I would like it in my home office. Was this a big sticker or paint? I have the dreaded, almost every house in Colorado has textured walls, so can't do too much with a fine line with paint. SO cool! TFS

Now that is not the answer I was expecting! But thinking more upon it I think if anyone needs cheering up it is prisoners inside a prison. Or people working inside a prison. So even if my tax dollars go towards paying for this I don't care. It's worth it. |

I know several of our areas had colored accent walls that brightened some areas up. Well considering these walls probably haven't been painted since the place was built there isn't much out of taxpayers expense. And the paint is what they have on hand. And pretty much free labor.. it's not costing a whole lot I am not sure where the idea spurred from but I think management is trying to boost moral because we are always short staffed and things like this help out. Talking about taxpayer's expense.. I just got all new furniture for the tune of $125!! How's that!! |

SO cool! TFS It's all done with Frog tape, even the circles. Considering they have to improvise A LOT.. obviously no knives... most of it is free hand!!! We are allowed to use stickers too.. the decorating kind.. some people have quotes in their offices as well. I have those texture walls as well.. It's such a love/hate thing.. |
