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!
What a gorgeous space! Love the big white lamp :)

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!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteGreat 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?
ReplyDeleteNot sure what my favourite part is, but the day bed looks SO comfy!

ReplyDeleteThanks! 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!

Lovely, calm, cozy room! That papered chair is so sweet! I love your corner headboard and the color pallet is soothing. I could live in this room. :)
ReplyDeleteI’m in love with the idea of using wallpaper on a chair too! The idea is quite original and the finished look is divine. You have to have some talent to be able to achieve a look like this, it doesn’t come naturally to all of us unfortunately but at least we have the internet facility and all these wonderful blogs to help us be inspired.
