Remodel plans: My office

905

My office is presumably a former kids bedroom, complete with BMX-style wallpaper and orange walls. Behold:

Since I’ll be spending the majority of my time working in here (self-employed life) I have a few goals for this room:

1. White and plain, so my OCD brain isn’t distracted and so more light is reflected in the room
2. Rose gold accents
3. Chaise lounge for video/talking head updates (and also recouping, let’s be real here)
4. Turn closet into storage
5. Actually get to create a secret room (closet) with a bookcase

Challenges:

• Angled ceilings
• Orange painted walls
• Wallpaper
• Messed up carpet with giant cut taken out of it
• No light fixture
• Tiny window

My inspiration:

If you need a little desk inspiration/drool session, check out my office desk round up

ummmm BRILLIANT. I didn’t even think of increasing the “size” of my tiny window. Now that’s the first thing I want to do!

My Plans:

• Rip out crappy carpet, paint subfloor. Eventually add hardwood planks and rug
• Rip out wallpaper
• Paint over orange wall
• Install light fixture
• Install curtains
• Create “hidden” closet with bookcase
• Spray paint desk with rose gold accents
• Maybe paint my current leather desk chair? I feel like the black will just clash with everything. TBD.
• Paint door black
• Add new door handle
