Current view of the room standing in the doorway
It's been awhile since I updated you on the process of our home office. Mr. SE and I have been in our home for over a year now, and the feel of our house is beginning to take shape. Maya Angelou always says that "your home should rise up to greet you", and I believe that our home is doing just that. While other rooms of the house took shape, our home office was neglected and became the catch-all room that we all hate, but all have. My hands have been full with organizing and DIY projects to make this the office of my dreams.
Shall we review where we started? This is the room on move-in day:
Completed So Far:
Accessorized bookshelf using books and other trinkets in coordinating colors
Purchased a matching dog bed
Added Sheer burnout curtains and matching stainless rod
Pulled together vignette on table:
grandfather's milk glass, table lamp, and framed bridal sketch
Created fabric bulletin board
Re-covered office chair in navy/white stripes and fastened coordinating green bow
Cleaned and spruced up my desk with scrapbooking paper, along with some cute office supply holders
Built storage unit and organized supplies in matching bins
(more on this empty wall/armoire below)
Duffie and Lucy were insistent on being a part of this photo shoot
Still Need To Do:
Spray paint frames to hang around open wall (like picture below, but a little more spread out).
Move armoire/linen closet into another room.
Update ceiling fan
I'm thinking either a white fan or white drum pendant
What do you think? Do you like the palette I chose? This room has been a labor of love, and not something that was completed overnight. I'm really happy with the way it's turning out!
