Phew, six weeks went by fast! I have to give it to Linda at My Crafty Home Life for sparking this blogger challenge to finish a room. I'm pleased with how my office/library turned out, and it has been so inspiring to watch the transformation of my other challengers' rooms. You can go back and watch the progress from the beginning here.
So my design board kept me on track with the white-with-pops-of-colour-industrial-comfy plan for my office.
The "before" was a rented beige empty room. I painted the walls white, added a white desk, shelving and storage credenza. And I mixed old and new, like vintage wire baskets for magazine storage with a new knock-off Eames armchair.
I abided by sustainable design through creating artwork with leftover materials, and papering a damaged chair I already owned to make it new again.
I added personality through industrial hanging lights, a vintage poster of my favourite travel spot, and a colourful mood board.
And I made this a budget project by creating a great daybed and making my own corner headboard.
To see my room progression from the beginning, hop here. Hope you find some inspiration from this and the other rooms in this series. Be sure to go check them out!
Thanks Linda!

I love your space. You did such a colorful job with white. That chair is still my favorite. I remain jealous as to how organized you are. I am convinced that although I enjoy some color...white walls are calling my name!
I agree with Linda, that chair is so cool, but I think your daybed is my favorite project. Nice job on your white and bright room!
Great job Kelly! Love how the white is warmed up with all the different textures and materials you've used. And that knock-off Eames chair is fantastic. Is it comfortable?
Not sure what my favourite part is, but the day bed looks SO comfy!

Thanks! Yes, that knock-off Eames chair is very comfy. I wanted to get the armchair version for working at the desk. I got it from lexingtonmodern.com. They shipped to Canada no problem!
You are so talented!!!!
Wow Kelly, your room is so so beautiful. I have to say, your style really resonates with my own and I'm just in love with the styling you did. This is a small space with big impact - serious congratulations from me!! Bravo!
So beautiful! I love it all- you pulled everything together so perfectly.
What a beautiful place to work! I love the day bed ... gorgeous, and a great place to relax and/or read!

Oh my, this space came out beautifully! I have been working in my basement for so long that I have totally forgotten how organized and clean a space can look! This is beautiful and I am jealous!! bravo!!
Kelly, you should be really proud of this space. All the little touches and the items you have created yourself (you know I love that chair and magnificent headboard) make it special. You have well chosen pieces.
Your room turned out so lovely. It really looks serene and so organized. And, I'm in love with that papered chair!
The office space looks adorable! I love the little daybed too!
