Room Renovation: Office Reveal
In case you missed it! Week1/ Week2/Week3/Week4/Week5
It’s week 6 of project Room Renovation: Office & that means its reveal week! I cannot express enough how ecstatic I am to have made it! There were many times when I doubted we would get here & have everything complete but we did it! Well, almost everything… In truth, the closet storage is not 100% so ill share that reveal later. However, everything else is complete & I couldn’t be happier! I will include links to everything at the end so you can shop for your own space! Before we get to the ta-da moment lets recap what the space looked like before:
Yuck I know….. but after 6 weeks & one long to do list we made it & its finally time for TA-DA
Heres the file cabinet transformation I completed in week 4! I love that it is cute & functional!
I am super excited about these built-in bookcases & storage bench we completed in week 3! They are super budget savvy & create so much extra storage space which is perfect for all my craft supplies!
This new wrapping cart makes storing all my gift wrapping essentials easy! All it needed was some vinyl decals & pretty boxes!
The Southern Yankee DIY sign is actually made from a large picture frame I found at the thrift store! I gave it a little paint TLC & just added vinyl.
This DIY whiteboard is a necessity for my office! Its perfect for my random blog post ideas & important upcoming events, plus I even added an employee of the month section! Justin loves it, well he laughed & that’s the same as love in this house. Between us, I think it really should have been Baby since she did such a great job modeling in the DIY Bench & Chair Cushion post!
I like to find fun ways to store my everyday supplies that can also add to the decor!
The new light fixture is actually an old light fixture I spray painted gold to transform it into oh la la!
Words can’t describe how in love I am with this space! It’s everything I could ever want for my dream office & we did it all on a DIY budget.
We completely transformed this space for under $900 including the new furniture!

I am relieved to have pulled off this renovation in the 6 weeks! This was really a test run to make sure I could complete a room renovation before I participated in the 6 week One Room Challenge with all those talented designers/bloggers! The next ORC challenge starts October 3rd & I am ready… well I’m enthusiastic & sometimes that’s the same thing! What room do you think I’ll be taking on, any guesses?!
