Room Renovation: Office Week 1

Update! Week1/ Week2/Week3/Week4/Week5/Week6 Reveal!

Every little girl dreams of what her office might look like someday, or maybe she dreams of ponies, either way, my dream office renovation is the current project on the To Do list. My goal is to create a space that is chic, functional and has lots of storage space (mainly to hide my Amazon purchases from Justin). I plan to refinish, repurpose, & DIY as much as possible to keep the room in the budget. This is the current situation:

In all fairness, it’s currently a mess because I am sorting through stuff to figure out what will make the cut to be allowed in the new “fancy pants” office. Plus it’s not all bad……………..

These two will definitely be part of the new office!

So I started with a mood board to get my color scheme & patterns on the same page in order to make sure everything I am envisioning will flow. 

My main colors will be pink, black, gold, & deep blue.

The main projects for this room renovation will be:

• Built-in bookcases & bench around the windows
• New light fixture
• Paint file cabinet
• DIY canvas art (or get cool budget friendly canvas art here!)
• Repurpose old trunk into storage
• Closet shelving/organization
• Paint the walls
• Command center with calendar/whiteboard/file holder etc
• Reupholster hot pink chair seat
• DIY dry erase board & frame
• Bench cushion
• Trim window

My hopes & dreams are to complete this renovation in 6 weeks (fingers crossed)! I will place the items I have been secretly stockpiling in the gallery below & post progress posts as I go!
