Office Reveal

Wow! I hope this post lives up to all the hype, lol! You can revisit the before and the planning if you would like.
The office is done, for now. There are a few more touches I would like to add when time/money allow....more on that at the end. 


Drum roll please.................................................

Tassels are reused from P's 1st Birthday party. The giant gold paperclips were in the dollar bin at Target and I added a magnet to the back. 



After months of searching, purchasing, returning, and not finding exactly what I wanted,  I finally decided to pull the trigger on the black boxes from IKEA. Apparently I bought the wrong size and they were just too much (dark). And of course just like Murphy's law... as soon as I bought them and put them together I made my weekly trip to Target and perfection was found. Of course there were only two of perfection, can't purchase online, and they haven't been restocked yet. I also had an issue with size. I measured in the store and they were the exact size I needed. But, when I came home they didn't fit (talk about a MAJOR let down) until I realized if I removed the lid it would (such an emotional roller coaster, lol). I actually love that the lids don't work because I have turned them into trays! Win!


The cream colored curtains are from IKEA and were originally having in P's nursery. When we moved they no longer worked in his new room. Our new house much higher ceilings and these once gigantic curtains were now too short. I purchased some black material and added a wide band to the bottom of each panel. I love the contrast and simplicity!
The trashcan is from IKEA as well. We just spray painted it gold. 




There you have it. A long time coming, and I hope it lived up to all the suspense I gave you. :)
My next step is to find a cart or shelving unit to go near my desk to house all the cable modem wires and the TV.  I would also like to replace the light fixture- make it more girly. It also needs some small decorative touches, but I wasn't just going to buy for the sake of buying.
AND guess what?! I've been using the office. I'm posting this from that desk as we speak. Remember how I said I didn't know if I would actually use it.... well, I guess it just needed to be finished for me to: :)

    1. Ha! That would be a garbage find :) It was a large painting and I just painted the glass with chalkboard paint. Wasn't sure it was going to take, but it did!

  2. Wow! It looks amazing, Jenny! I love your furniture picks. The room's tiny details, like the turqoise tray, made it all the more charming. I'm sure working in your home office has never been the same. I, for one, would probably find myself working home all week, if I had a home office as gorgeous as that. Hahaha! Thanks for sharing that! Kudos and all the best to you! :)
