Head-of-School Office — Furnishing & Finish
A warm, dignified office for the leader who sets the tone for the whole school.
BeforeAfterDrag to compare today vs. the rendering
Every school needs a place where its leader can welcome a family, counsel a student, or simply do focused work — a room that feels both professional and personal. Right now it's an empty shell. The vision is calm and grounded: a solid wood desk, comfortable chairs for visitors, a bookcase for the things that matter, "Seek first the Kingdom of God" on the wall, and warm light. It's a contained, satisfying project with a clear and beautiful result.
Assembling and arranging the office furniture — desk, chairs, bookcase, and credenza — laying down an area rug, hanging the framed signs and the Harvest Academy emblem, and adding lamps, plants, and the finishing touches. It's beginner-friendly weekend work; the only effort is the furniture assembly. A family or a business could own this one start to finish.

Keep the electrical panel clear — the gray panel on the back wall must stay accessible per code (typically ~3 ft of unobstructed clearance, and its cover must open fully); position the bookcase/credenza so nothing blocks it. The existing carpet stays — the area rug layers on top, no flooring purchase needed. Confirm the desk size against the room so the desk + two guest chairs leave a comfortable path to the window and door. Clear out the current shop vac, loose metal pole, and detached door hardware before furnishing. Ceiling, lighting, paint, trim, window/blinds, and door all stay as-is. The round Harvest Academy emblem by the door should match the building-wide logo treatment — if you have the brand file, a sign shop can produce it as a wall decal or framed/mounted emblem.
One family or a single business sponsor. A natural fit for a business that wants a clean, contained, high-visibility project, or a family who'd enjoy outfitting a dignified, welcoming office. The matching dark-wood furniture set is the bulk of the cost — a furniture donation would carry most of it.
