Home Office Makeover Reveal

For Christmas, my mom made me sketches of how to make over my home office. We finished up this week, and I am excited to show you my new favorite room.
   
*Disclaimer...these are not great photos.  The walls are a neutral color but look yellowed in some of the photos.  The lighting is a mess but the room actually has soft cozy lighting.  I tried bringing in light, using flash, using no flash, turning lamps on, turning lamps off, and finally just decided to go with the best of what I had!*

Window Wall (back wall) Before
 
Window Wall After 
I found the chevron fabric at Hobby Lobby and my mom made 4 panels.  She is amazing and was able to match up that chevron so you can't even tell there are two panels on each window.  The work table is special to me because it is my dad's desk from his printing/graphic design business.

This is where the prepping happens!
Paper cutter
Laminator
This is my happy spot!
 I am crazy about my printer stand.  The printer and stand were Christmas presents from hubs and mom.

Sad (embarrassing) Computer Desk Before.... (right wall)
 
Computer Desk After
We added a file cabinet and shelving.
 
The desk was my Nana's sewing desk.  It's weathered but I adore it.
Above my Computer... The computer desk wall is on the right side of the room-this is how it ties into the back window wall.  My Oscar the grouch trash can is possibly my favorite purchase!!!!  It's gray, it's huge, and I fill it constantly!  The arch to the right goes into a vanity/full bath.

 I love this little wall area!  My bags have a place to live!  I can also keep myself a little more on track with the dry erase board!

  13. I have an empty room (a.k.a. sunroom turned dog crate/toy space) that would be perfect for a mini-office. My husband is ALWAYS complaining about my "crafts" and "teaching stuff (he says crap)". Maybe if I show him pics of your office nook, it would give him insight as to what we could do with the room!

    I think you are responsible for my new love of Chevron. Wish I could have made it to the Chewy's Meet-Up. Maybe this summer there will be another TX Bloggers Meet-Up. Have you ever thought about doing one in Austin/Waco that way people from the North TX Area could join in??

  16. Love it! My "office" is in transition...I feel weird calling it an office, because it seems so businessy and grown-up, but it is what it is!

    My favorite might be your framed blogger graphic! What a great idea that I might steal before the day is done.

    Thanks for sharing all the pics! Your office looks fabulous and you gave me some great ideas!

  21. Love it! The colors are beautiful and I love all your space to work. Your bag wall is GREAT! I need something like that in my office space. It would get the bags off the floor.

    Thanks for sharing

  22. Wow, I love it! It really makes me want to begin RIGHT THIS SEC and redo our "study" where I've basically taken over!!! Hmmm, what would my hubs say??? I think it looks FAB and I must say you have quite a "Fancy" work area! I don't know if i could keep it so neat. Seeing the before/after really makes me think about possibilities in mine. Thanks!

  23. EVERYTHING you do is just AMAZING!! Love it! Can you PLEASE send your mom over to redo my office too?

  24. I love this! You have inspired me to update my home office...as soon as I get my actual work office/classroom organized then it will be time for my home. :-)

  25. Oh. my. gosh. LOVE! I have a 2 bedroom apartment with a roommate. I try to be super-curteious to her and limit all of my blogging stuff to my neatly organized desk in the corner of our living room. You make me want to have a bigger place with a home office! I love your workspace SO much!

  27. Oooh, I love it! It looks great! An office make-over is on my to-do list for this summer and I may steal, I mean borrow, some of your ideas ;-)

  28. Your office looks amazing! I wish I had a space just for my office. Our computer desk is in the "man cave" at my house. That is a requirement for our next house is to have a space just for my office. I love the area with the hooks for your bags and the whiteboard. That is a great idea. I like how you incorporated pieces that have a lot of meaning to you in your room.

  30. I love your new space! Even your old space puts my junky office to shame. lol You have inspired me to re-vamp my office, but I need another pair of eyes to help me with some ideas. I surely need the Oscar Trash can, I usually just throw it on the floor and pick it up when I'm done (hopefully the same day :P). Thanks for all of the wonderful ideas!

  38. Wow -- I absolutely love it! I currently have no office space at my house so my teaching stuff is spread out between my dining room table and guest room. I'm getting my unfinished basement partially finished this winter (starting Monday - yay!) and I will finally have a work space! Your area is inspiring!
