Hey everyone!
I've finally got around to sharing our little office makeover with you all!
Unfortunately, I don't have a great 'before' picture of this space from when we moved in, but it was more of a sitting room than an office. Try and imagine this in your head with me if you can: bright red walls, carpet, a couch on the long black wall, an ugly desk, and a random end table.
Not so pretty and even more random.
It still has room for improvement, but I'm liking it right now, and it's more functional for us than a sitting room.
What do you think of our new space?!
If you hate it, it's cool. I'm no interior decorator.
(...but, I am looking for a cheap one so let me know if that's you ;))
Here's the details for the room:
Desk: World Market (favorite purchase in our house to date!)
Chair: Amazon
Rug: Land of Nod (so many colors and great patterns)
Handmade name pillow: Etsy (Shop NextDoorToHeaven)
Light: Ikea (Maskros light)
Cube bookshelf: Target
Tall leaning shelves: Gift
Plant: Garden Ridge
4 Prints on Wall: Free off the internet; from here.
Owl: West Elm
Keep Calm and Carry On notepad: a great gift :)
"K" Mug: Anthropologie
*Before I go...my second husband (BBFT) sister (don't give me that eyeroll-this is totally acceptable), Julie, recently started a blog called Team Patterson and I would love it if you guys gave her a warm welcome here in blog land and followed along!
Read her blog: here :)
