Neutral and Peaceful Home Office Reveal!

Sara Michelle B.2 Comments

This is definitely one of the most exciting reveals I’ve EVER done! Welcome to my home office!

I LOVE this room! I joke with the boys sometimes that it is “mommy’s playroom” because it contains so many of my favorite things and is a place where I feel so inspired. Books, family pictures, a bulletin board filled with pictures/quotes/little items that inspire me, more books, pretty decor, and more and more books! Haha :)

My goal for this space was to make it feel peaceful, calm, and light, while also still cozy. I wanted it to be a place where I feel totally serene. The room contains two HUGE windows and a glass-paned door so it gets tons of natural light. I painted the room a super light gray from Sherwin Williams (Fun fact, I only chose this color because my Dad had a gallon of it on hand and I felt like painting! That made the decision easy, haha, and it has turned out perfectly!) I hung the same white Restoration Hardware drapes I have in the rest of the floor to keep the room feeling airy and light. I then grounded the room with this new navy blue stripe McGee and Co. rug from Target. (Best $99 I ever spent!) It definitely ties the blues in the rooms together and makes the room warmer and cozier! I just love how the design elements came together. It is exactly the feel I was going for!

It is also a place where I can WORK! So thankful I had a docking station, ergonomic keyboard, and double monitors set up for my work computer. Cute is one thing but it was essential that this desk set up be completely function for working too. May not be the prettiest equipment but it is fully conducive to spending hours upon hours at my desk!

I still want to replace the open console table underneath the bulletin board with a closed navy blue cabinet that hides the bins and the printer.. On the hunt and I’ll update you when I replace it!

I also have a handful of candles, lotions, sanitizers, and cute trinkets on my desk at any given time. I’m always switching it up but these things bring me joy when I’m looking at Excel spreadsheets all day!

The corner to the right of the desk is what I refer to as my “yoga corner” and it’s where I stash my yoga mat and weights/pillows/blocks for restorative yoga. Once again just makes me love that this room contains my favorite things!

This chair is also Tucker’s favorite place to perch day in and day out. Gives him a good view of the neighborhood and some peace and quiet away from the boys! Also totally love this bulletin board. I actually refreshed it at about 10:00 last night so it looks a little different between the two pictures on here! The one below is the updated version!

Here’s links to some sources in case you are interested! Hope you love this space as much as I do!

Here is what it looked like about a year ago…. It has certainly come such a long way! Just in time for this Coronavirus lockdown!

Overall just so thankful I have this space where I can work and dream and be inspired!
