My Guest Room & Office Reveal

Um yeah, you read that right…. my guest room & office reveal.  Do you remember that time last year that I showed off my office in a bedroom for Ehow and then just never shared the whole shebang? Well, I started using the office and I don’t need to tell you what happened next… it became a bit disorganized and messy.  And ever since then I’ve shared peeks of the guest room such as on my Christmas tour, but I always conveniently left out the office area.  I bet you even forgot it was in there!  I cleaned it up recently to take photos for my Spring tour and as it turned out I had 483 photos in my tour so decided to save some for a separate guest room office post.    So today is the day after all this time!

Most of the time when I show you the guest room, this is the view you get.IMG_1052But what happens when I turn the camera just a little to the right….Office in a guest room- ecelectic bohemian bedroom with black wallsOh hey, there’s a desk and shelving unit on that wall!Office in a bedroom- moody bohemian space with midcentury modern touchesOur house is not a large house, but it’s always been important for me to have a guest room, a place friends and family can crash and call their own while they stay here.

We’ve created a cozy guest room with a kilim dresser, white bedding, a vintage headboard, and black moody walls.  It’s truly one of my favorite spaces as I have decorated with textures, colors, and patterns that I love.Guest Room- Black and white with Brass GazelleOn the other side of the bed I added a glass and brass hoofed table that never sold at Sweet Clover, and I loved.  So I brought it home and added it to the guest room.Eclectic Boho black bedroom with brass hoofed side tabltI added a woven tray, some seashells as well as a planter I painted and some greenery to bring some life to this space.Brass & Glass table; hand painted planterBut with business ownership as well as the blog, I started to feel like I really needed an office space, aka a dumping ground for all of my papers and receipts.  I decided that a desk was needed to help contain my business items at home, as well as give me a quiet space to work on occasion.  I painted this midcentury desk for Sweet Clover and it had not sold either, and it was the perfect fit stylistically as well as size-wise.IMG_1044Sarah, my business partner, happened to have the shelving unit in her garage, so I bought that from her.  She also created the wall hanging you see.Office in a bedroomI had fun accessorizing this space with vintage finds as well as some gifts from friends and family photos.Vintage shelving unit in office in bedroomThe vintage card display I found on a trip to Cape Cod last year, and it is perfect in this space.  I love to change out the photos seasonally, so right now it features Spring and Summer photos.  I can’t even handle the cuteness.  Do you see those pigtails?  And Sawyer’s longer hair?  Even our old dog Charlie is pictured and a much younger Jake.Vintage card display as photo displayExcuse me while I pick myself up from a weeping puddle on the floor.

Currently on my desk, I’ve got planners and journals I fully intend to use…. is it too late to start planning 2016?  And I know you are all eyeing my amazing unicorn notebook. It was a gift from a friend who tuly gets me.  I also am stoked to have my copy of my friend Amy’s book, Crafting with Nature which will be released in less than one week!  You can get your copy here.  I plan to dive into it during Spring break and can’t wait!IMG_1027So now that I have shared this space again, guess what…. I dumped a bunch of papers on the desk… winning at life!  In my next life I am going to come back with some organizational skills.  For now I am going to free-spirit and meander through this world.

Cheers!

    Very pretty and practical… but I find the graphite wall a bit depressing. I don’t know if I could stand working for hours surrounded by that specific color. That’s just me, though. (Don’t take me wrong: my dining room walls are a shiny chocolate and the living room dark royal blue!) Your picture display is simply stunning, so creative.

    Lol! Yep, I can’t get a grasp on paper organization either. It’s fair to say t hat isn’t one of my strengths. i think you tied the office space in perfectly! They usually tend to stick out like sore thumbs, but yours looks gorgeous and functional. Two thumbs up! Also, I noticed this in the last couple of posts, did you get a new camera lens for the wider angles? I need to get one, but am clueless and was wondering what you thought of it.

    Such a great space!! And I’m impressed that you got those papers out of the way long enough to take photos; I’m not sure that would ever happen here 😉
