Office Makeover

Let's talk about LOVE. I just LOVE this room. From the moment we moved furniture into this room, I was hooked. I just want to hang out in here all day, and I probably will before I go back to work in a few weeks. The walls are painted "Bon Voyage" by Behr. It looks darker in person than in the following pictures...I know it looks kind of baby blue in the pictures, but I PROMISE, it is not. This room is our office/guest room. I love decorating with things we already have, so everything in this room was things we already owned.

The picture above the couch is of the Brooklyn Bridge (born in Brooklyn) and was given to me from my older sister. The couch J & I found last year & adopted it (free of course) haha. The wooden holder was a wedding gift.

Ahh, my favorite piece. The dresser was mine from high school and was a light wood. Jearen stained the whole thing  cherry wood and even though it still needs work (not all the drawers work like they use to & we need to buy new hardware) I still love how it turned out. Very aged and unique. I mod-podged the two frames a few years back with some scrapbook paper. I bought the old medal basket for $1 at a flea market & I'm so happy I found a place to put him.

The three silver diamonds use to be white, when I bought them for $1.25 each at goodwill. If you can't tell by now, I love that store! I spray painted them silver and it became instant art for my wall.

In the corner is a mail station. Well that's what it was bought for (when my brother & his wife bought it), but when it was given to us, it became our library :). And Jearen's golf clubs need a new resting spot, but they are here for now. In the frame is a few of my favorite pictures from our cruise last year! Ah, I want to go on one again! 

My favorite spot. I just want to sit in this room all day & read, journal, hang out. This desk was one of the first pieces of furniture J & I bought together as a married couple, and of course it came from Goodwill for a solid $50. Jearen's handyman skills revamped this old desk into a modern & sophisticated desk. I'm pretty sure it's mid-century modern, but haven't done enough research to know :) The silver tray was just laying around at my Dad's house, so he let me take it home with me. The lamp shade is from Target.

The framed flowers are from Home Goods. The white shelf is from TJMaxx. The silver plated M is from Sample House. Don't ya just wanna sit here & read?!
