Extreme Work Cubicle Makeover

Here is a picture of my "home away from home" before a few minor changes.   It's the same one seen all over the world - a drab grey.  Everything is grey - the walls, the desk and the cabinets.

We had a contest at work when we moved into new quarters a couple years ago for the "Best Cubicle Extreme Makeover."  I won!

I covered all the walls in fabric.  My look was supposed to be shabby chic, but I think I kinda turned it more into "grandma chic!"  Either way, I actually liked the way it turned out and I received a lot of compliments on it.

We had to dismantle our cubicles and move again last week.  I haven't decided if or how I will redo my new, smaller quarters.  I do know that I will miss watching how my taller co-workers tried to negotiate talking to me through my curtains.  They could never decide whether to stand outside the cube and hunch down to speak with me, come into my cube (which seemed to make them uncomfortable in such cramped quarters) or accidentally knock my curtains down because they misjudged where they were standing!  

Some of my fabric and lace is slightly skewered in these photos because I had started removing and breaking down my cube before I thought to take photos. 

Au Revoir sweet cube.

 (PS..if you look closely, you can see my three cowboys in the far right side of the last picture.  It was taken in '05)
