Inspiration for My Office

Posted in Decorating, House, Mood Boards by

After reading the chapter “How to Create the Space around You for Manifesting” in Manifesting in High Heels, I’ve been craving a peaceful, pretty place to work, read, and write. Which means lately, I’ve become very excited to start working on my office. We bought the paint a few weeks ago, but decided to work on the dining room first. After it’s painted, then the office is next! (And I’ll post pictures of the dining room once it’s a little further along.)

To help organize my ideas for the room, I created a mood board for inspiration.

Only two of the items from the mood board are set. I’ve already bought the paint and the rug. The rest is up in the air, so I’ll see what I find, but maybe I’ll end up purchasing some of these items.

  • Paint: Ponder from Sherwin Williams
  • Rug: on clearance from Target
  • Chair: Pretty sure this isn’t the right chair, but I do like the tufted look and this color. I’ll probably go to some of the furniture stores to see if I can find a matching chair and ottoman. There isn’t a matching ottoman for this chair and I didn’t really like any of the Target ottomans with this.
  • Bookcases: If I go with these, I’ll probably get two with closed shelving and two open bookcases. I’ll use the closed shelving ones in the middle. I’m planning to do an entire wall of book cases because I want this room to be an office/library mix. The bookcases are one of the most exciting features!
  • Office Chair: I really like this chair, but I can’t imagine paying over $300 for it. I’ll be on the lookout for something cute like this but in my price range.
  • Throw pillows: I’m LOVING the colorful pillows. I’ll have to pull in some other colorful accessories to make the room happy!
  • Accent Table: I love the curves and color of this one. But this could also be a perfect DIY project. Maybe I can find a cute second-hand table to paint a bright color.

We also have a desk that we picked up curb-side that I’m planning to paint, probably a white to compliment the bookshelves.

All of these ideas are making me even more excited to get going on this room, but I’m also feeling more focused on the direction of the design and feel like we’ll be able to make smart buying decisions when the time comes.
