Decorating B'day Gift Cont'd - Office Makeover

Jan and I  have almost finished with her large office. I only took a few BEFORE pictures, forgot to take more.
Below is a BEFORE picture of the left side of the office
Notice the valance on top of the window.

BEFORE:
Below is the right side of the office:
You can see a little of the valance on both windows above.

We removed the valances and now there's so much more light in the room!
 A wooden window treatment will be built on top of the windows
we will show those at a later time:
 Jan collects ducks and she wants to display them on a shelf above the window.

 The photo albums below were wrapped in plastic since
the last hurricane:
BEFORE:
 

AFTER:
We unwrapped the photo albums and placed them on the
side counter of the office:
 They look so colorful and bright displayed there.
 
We also added a plate rack above them and a fall painting.

 BEFORE:
 
The table on the left was removed. We kept the other console,
but removed the picture above to another room.

AFTER:
 Jan collects ducks and they will be the theme of this room.
Jan's mother made the lamp many years ago.

 The Norman Rockwell picture represents
Jan's father who looked like the little boy
and he raised beagles (also shown in the picture.)

AFTER moving out the other piece of furniture
we placed this pretty green table under the window.

Family pictures are displayed on the table
along with one of Jan's orchids that she grows:

 The book shelf is more organized
and has more photo albums on the top shelf.

 There's a day bed on the opposite wall of the room:

This large picture hangs over the daybed:

By the way, look for these wire "cubes" soon in another
room that we are in the process of decorating now:
