What is it Wednesday :: VA MD DC Lifestyle Photographer

Today is all about my new office!! I am reallllly reallllly excited about this. I mean….  just completely over the moon. I’ve never had an “office”, my desk has always been in another room. Right now my desk is in the living room and is kind of taking over, which stinks…. really bad. To have an area solely dedicated to my work, and away from the rest of my life is just dreamy. So much of the time my work is constantly staring at me and calling my name…. to be able to put it away and have an actual work schedule… AHHHH. I can’t wait!

Here is what it looks like today…

The walls are primed, the trim is painted and I have begun taping to start painting! Once the painting is finished we can call the carpet people and get that delivered! Thennnn I can decorate! I have SO many plans and ideas for this little slice of paradise! So many amazing places of inspiration have helped me form these ideas from http://thecreativemama.com/ to http://pinkwallpaper.blogspot.com/ ….

A couple of my ideas..

Id like to find a door like below, but instead of a map being in the windows – I will display some of my favorite pictures. Can I just say I LOVVVVE the door knob. <3

Door for office

I love this framed wall paper.

Inspiration

But because my walls are so much smaller – I think I am going to do something smaller AND I want it to be functional. So I am going to buy some cork, & cover it with the below fabric. So I can use it as a cork board – but you won’t have to see the cork! It will be framed with trim like the above picture!

The next piece is a complete splurge and its not something I have to have or KNOW that I will get – but I sure do want it!!:)

I love the wainscoating in the below picture, and will probably incorporate this at a later date as well. It would be perfect to go right under the wall shelf in the room!

So yea, this is what I’ve been thinking and dreaming about. And its SO close to being done. I can’t wait.:)

Jessica Willis - Rachel-they have chandeliers like that at Target with their shabby chic decor and it’s not terribly expensive. :)

admin - Thanks everyone!! I am really excited!! Launa, thats too funny about the wall paper – if I liked wall paper Id try it out. Unfortunately Hubby and I had a bad experience removing it once and I vowed never to touch the stuff!

Laura - That is so exciting you are getting a REAL office! My office is in my craft room… I could only dream to have a whole entire room to myself- Haha! One day :) Enjoy decorating, if you need any help or ideas… give me a shout!

Launa - This is fabulous!! Congratulations!! I LOVE the door, I have an old window hanging in my bedroom with photos in it like you were saying, it’s my favorite!! Also love the wainscoting! I used it in my room too…..but we are renting, so I didn’t want to spend a whole lot of money on it, can you believe that I found wall paper that looks like wainscoting and has fooled everyone!! It’s textured and you have to touch it to know that it isn’t the real thing!! LOVE IT!! Can’t wait to see photos when you are done!!
