Accent Office Wall with Work Station

Since I finished this work station wall in my office, every time I walk past my office door I have to stop and just stare at it. I love the way it turned out.

It all started when I scored two new base kitchen cabinets on the Facebook Marketplace for $50. They were brand new so I knew I could do something with them.

After I brought them home I just put them into my office until I figured out where I would use them…and while they were in there it dawned on me that I could use them as a work station right there in my office!

The first thing I did was paint them with Benjamin Moore Advanced Paint (the paint I used on my kitchen cabinets, and a ton of other furniture projects). It’s called Deep Space and I knew it would look great, as well as cover the dark cabinets easily.

Once the cabinets were painted, I picked up 2 1x12s and a 1×2 for the top.

I set cabinets on each side of the back wall in my office. I removed the trim on the floor where the cabinets were and cut holes in the side of the cabinet where there was an outlet.

I placed the boards on the top and drilled 1 1/2″ holes through the top in each corner as well as one towards the middle, for easy cord access.

Once I had everything dry fitted, I thought it was lacking something. I wanted it to be a little more dramatic and a showstopper. That’s when I found an awesome removable wallpaper by NuWallpaper in Groovy Garden. I thought it would look really cool with the cabinet color and add a fun statement wall in my office.

This peel and stick removal wallpaper was so easy to put up as you can see from my time lapse video. Now I find myself looking everywhere to see where I can put wall paper next!

I added shelves with wood I already had and stained Provential by Minwax the same stain as the work top.
