Home Office/Craft Room: Thoughts

As we are finally wrapping things up in the boy's room (I'll share some updated pics tomorrow) I'm shifting my focus to the craft room/home office.

Right now the room is truly a bit of a blank slate... the only piece of furniture that I would like to keep is the dresser that I had previously purchased from craigslist and I gave it a YELLOW makeover!

it is time for another makeover... I'm thinking a lighter Chalk-Paint Base color and more modern hardware. The top will stay the stained wood however.

With that being the only piece that I'm sold on keeping here are my thoughts on bookcases...

 

In the world of lighting....

I kind of feel like Emma would love to make The DIY light from a One Kings Lane tutorial She is my little engineer and this would be right in her wheelhouse!

for actual workspace I'm SUPER on the fence!

Would love to know your thoughts/recommendations.

Favorite Things Friday: Gold Office Supplies

So I will let you in on a little secret... In a few weeks we will no longer have a Spare bedroom... I'm claiming the space as my office/craft room!

I figure that if someone visits we can add a bed back into the room but we don't need it to have the bed year-round. We literally have visitors for 3 weeks out of the year.

I've been thinking of doing this for a few months now. In fact over Christmas I "received" or Gifted to myself some office items from TARGET! Let me just say that I love Nate Burkus and his latest office supply line has me swooning!

Gold stapler and scissors! YES PLEASE

To say that I'm on board with the gold office product trend might be an understatement... My sweet husband was wondering if I needed an intervention when I bought this Gold pen set from Kate Spade a few weeks back...

 

 

Cannot wait to get this process started... First though I need to purge items from the room! Bed is on its way out this weekend!
