Client Reveal: Preppy Home Office


I'm so, so, so excited to share this client room with you! I've been helping Lisa transform her office over the past few months into something she could scrapbook in, work from, and enjoy throughout the day. Anyone who scrapbooks, I've found out, really needs to have an organizational system that works for them, because there are just so many little things that you need for this hobby! As you can see from the "before" pictures, Lisa just needed a good place to put everything, and a stylish design to go along with it {which is also a good incentive to keep things organized!} 

The design we came up with is something really functional with a ton of storage {hello awesome bookcase with storage baskets!} Lisa loves bright pops of color, so we did a gray and navy color palette with splashes of hot pink to accent. I suggested this fun wallpaper from Serena & Lily, but we decided to take inspiration from the wallpaper and instead, stencil the focal wall. Lisa did a great job! We created 4 zones for the office: the bookshelf/scrapbooking supply area, the desk, window seat and bar cart we are calling our "craft cart". Bar carts really are versatile! Of course the best part of this makeover is my happy client. This is what she loves most about her new space:

"The thing I love about my new office space is the way I feel when I go in there: peace and happiness! My old office made me crazy with all the clutter and disorganization. I love the Expedite unit with all the baskets and storage and finally somewhere to put all my scrapbooking albums!  I also love the prints in my office, such a great idea, especially the LOVE one above my desk.

Here is the before:

  27. Just beautiful, M! It looks so pretty but organized and functional for an office space. I love your styling on the Expedit- I styled one on my blog today, too! It doesn't look quite as pretty as yours but I do have a 16 month old to take into my design considerations ; ) Still dying over that lamp, it's a beaut!!!

  28. Your office reminds me of my daughter’s working studio. I can see lots of soft colors there and the atmosphere is very feminine, just like yours. And I can say that it’s very inviting.
