Redoing the Home Office -- Concrete Desk

I can't believe this is the before. Wow, super ugly. The hubs office. He home offices. In this. Yuk. So now, we are redoing it. I say we, I mean me. He thinks it is fine. Got these gray curtains awhile back, to go with the gray concrete desk he uses. Looks like we need to find a new chair, and a little less clutter. Will post the afters next week. Hopefully.

Any suggestions, greatly appreciated.

It is a weird L shaped office.

His gray concrete desk. He made it himself, and loves it. Yes, we have concrete counters in our kitchen, in our home.

Ok, this chair, is looking really gross. Looks like I need to find a new one.

This bottom picture is what you walk into and see. Yuk, and more Yuk.
