Ethan and I spent the week painting and revamping the back office area of the PiCED building. We have 4 new employees starting on Monday, and 3 of them will be occupying the back area. But, it was bleak and ugly and a mess, and we couldn’t imagine having to work back there. Having studied architecture, Ethan and I know what a world of a difference a nice space can do for enthusiasm, work ethic, and general happiness, so we decided to revamp the place. We agreed on a bright, fresh yellow paint (vali lanu samasama) for the walls, and repainted all the trim and doors a bright white. There were lots of unused/old books stored in the area, so we took them all down and reorganized. All the teacher resource books were moved to a new bookshelf in the front, and many of the unused children books were donated to an elementary school. After the books were down, we took down an old shelf, and repainting the others white to match the trim. With a little rearranging, new carpentry additions to the furniture, and paint, the are looks pretty darn good! Now that everyone has seen what a little TLC can do to an old office, I think it has inspired us (and the PiCED Staff) to slowly makeover the PiCED office!
