One of my blog friends, Amanda, is a decorator herself and has just completed a beautiful office makeover for a photography client of hers and it is just stunning. I know you’re all going to love it as much as I do.Dark and dreary, this might have functioned as an office space, but it sure could use some style.After Amanda worked her magic, it is now oozing with style. In spades! What a gorgeous room this is now. You’ll notice that the chairs changed in the pics along the way. The Final “after” pics are these 2 modern chairs and the French styled chairs moved to the table area.
Note the big change: beautiful dark, rich hardwood floors replace the carpet. Always a great choice! I adore the light and airy feel it has now, as well as the feminine touches in the furniture and accessories. What girl wouldn’t love to see this every day? I know I would! This looks like a magazine spread.The white furniture is just so pretty and feminine.Closeup of the French chairs, these are nicely done as well.A sweet and stylish pillow.I love this aqua pillow too.The other wall sports this pretty vintage table and architectural pieces which make a nice addition to the room.Love that antique camera under glass. Great way to display those treasured collectibles.Overall, a stunningly gorgeous office space that anyone would envy.
Well done, Amanda! Hope you’ll go on over to Amanda’s blog and say hello and see the rest of the pics. She is a sweetheart.
I’m in Atlanta this week and our family is in wedding mode! The big day is Saturday evening and you can bet my camera will be very busy. I’ll get pics up as soon as I can. Next week will be spent finishing up with packing boxes and moving day on Friday. I’m ready to get it done!

I love the table in the office. You always need a space to kinda spread out and I hope you and your family have a wonderful time at the wedding.

I love those hardwood floors! They are so different and have such depth. I’m used to seeing floors that are so solid with no grain showing! Love this feature, now I’m headed over to her blog to check it out!

Ok. I am not a french country lover. But you know, I am on board with this one. Those chairs are so trendy right now in design. I am going to head over to her blog right now to see what other items she has going on.
Thanks so much Rhonda for featuring her.

Amanda has done a gorgeous job with her office! I love the wall color she’s chosen and those beautiful chairs, that mirror and aqua pillow. It’s all perfectly put together. Have a wonderful weekend, Rhoda.

Oh. My. Word. That is SOME makeover! Just gorgeous! I love the floor, but my favorite thing is the vintage table with the windows and shutters. LOVE that!
Hope you’re doing okay, Rhoda!

Hi! This is Christa. The office owner. I went to visit Amanda’s blog and notice a lot questions about the room.
To Allison: The Paint is from Restoration Hardware. It’s called Silver Sage. It’s so beautiful!
To The Mom: The chairs were bought at Ikea. But reupholstered by a shop here in Houston with a fabric that’s Oh-So- Soft! and the same silver sage color as the walls!
To Paula: The desk doesn’t hide ALL the wires. But they’re Macs so there’s only 1 wire from each computer! So it’s not so bad! The desk might actually be the last thing to change if I can find another that’s more vintage yet still keeps the length that we need to hold two Macs.
I’m so glad that you all love my office. Makes me more confident that my clients will feel more welcomed. It’s definitely a space I love to work in and live in!
Thank you,
Christa Elyce
