Mom's Office Reveal!

My mother and I are so excited to reveal her fabulous, new office! It is the perfect matching of feminine and grown-up. I'm so glad she finally lightened up her dark and boring office - office work is dull enough already! This morning we went on a mission to find the finishing touches and we major scored on some great pieces. Check them out...

Oh hello new office!

Mom spray painted the frame of this great home portrait - the gold on the Posy pink is perfect.

Today at Hobby Lobby we last minute stumbled upon these fun bulletin boards after we thought all hope was lost!

This amazing lamp was a total score from Target today - had to have!

Notice the cute Love of Character legal pads! These were some of the originals that inspired us to make some for the shop.

Desk is my childhood desk that she spray painted white - we might try to find something bigger, but it works for now.

Now she needs to get to work! It will definitely be more cheerful now that she has a gorgeous office. And seriously, that rug makes the room. We ordered that thing back on Christmas day because she fell in love. So fun to see everything finally come together!

Lots of Love,

Mom's Office Project: Paint

Quick update on my mom's office: paint is on the walls, so the hard part is over! She followed our office style and painted her walls the Sherwin Williams Posy (70% of the color - don't forget you ask them to use a percentage of the color). Also, if you decide to give this color a try, don't freak out that it's on a paint swatch with oranges and browns - I got a call from my concerned mother when she was buying the paint! If you don't know the level of color you want, remember that they can always add more. My mom originally had them put in 40% of the color and then went back to increase it to 70%.

I snapped a couple quick pictures when over at her house for family dinner to share with you all. This weekend we are going to work on putting it together with fun touches. We still need to figure out a larger desk situation and new light, but those will come with time.

Her rug really makes the space:

This Saturday when we get further on decorating, I will take more pictures using my camera. Excited to get to work on it!

Lots of Love,

New Project: Mom's Office

Hi all! Sorry for the lack of posts this past week, we had a lot going on and I had to put my focus elsewhere. We got through and I'm ready to get back on track! With that said, I have an update on an ongoing project and have a new project to add to the list.

Update on the powder room project: Dustin ripped out the tile this morning! Yay! Slowly (and I mean slowly) moving along. He wanted to start on the walls again, but his allergies are already bad and the dust sends him over the edge. Hopefully his allergist can help him out, so we can get those walls ready for some pretty paint!

New project: Mom's office! While hanging out on Christmas, we decided mom needs to girl up her office and make it a happier place to be. The project started with some fabulous inspiration:

Bright new rug from RUGS USA

The minute we saw this rug, we new it was the perfect starting point for her cheery office. RUGS USA is one of my favorite places to get rugs because they are constantly having great specials. We also ordered the same pink boxes from IKEA that my Aunt Mary and I have for our offices:

These boxes are affordable, come in different sizes and come in a few different colors!

For her desk situation, she already has a pretty ghost chair to use, but her desk is too small. We are looking for a table that we can make work for the space. Thinking it could be a potential IKEA hack situation. Something like this table could work, if we spray painted the legs gold:

Affordable IKEA table

Bizchair is a great place to find chairs, especially ghost chairs.

For the light, we fell in love with this World Market pendent:

Paint wise, we are going to try for a barely there pink similar to our office. We think it will be a good way to add an elegant girly touch, plus it will tie the rug, boxes and accessories together.

Alright Mom, your office has been posted about...now we have to make it happen! We will keep you posted as we make progress.

Lots of Love,
