I’m just over the moon excited about my new office space. A whole room for all my computer stuff and space to be organized too. How great will that be? You got a sneak peek of the green walls being painted and now they are all finished and I can’t wait to show you how fun it’s going to be.
It’s hard to capture the green correctly, but it’s a custom color that I had Sherwin-Williams make for me, a vibrant yellowy-green, called Fennel. I decided to leave off the bi-fold closet doors and paint the inside a happy turquoise color, Larchmere by Sherwin-Williams.
My plan is to add an Ikea bookcase of some kind inside (to be determined) with baskets and bins for storage (in white, that should look great against the pretty blue).
Here’s a peek of the dark brown doors with my office wall colors. Only one coat on in this pic, but it’s looking good.
Here’s what you see when you walk in the room, lots of pretty green.
I decided that far wall was the perfect wall to stencil and I used the Large Moorish allover stencil from Royal Designs that I used in my sister’s bedroom. Here’s a tutorial I did when we used this same stencil in my sister’s bedroom, go here.
One pretty wall of ivory pearl stencil and it’s a standout. Do you like? I sure do! Now, here’s the really fun part. I can’t move in here yet, we still have to do floors in this room, but can’t you just see it all coming together? In case you need a little visual help, here’s my inspiration board, with all the elements that are going to make my office dreamy, happy and functional. Click on the pic (done in Olioboard) and it will show where everything is from:
You can see the Ikea Blad panels are really going to brighten up the space. I added a striped rug, but am not sure which rug will end up in here. All those little fun details will make a huge impact on my office space. This is my existing Target desk, with a white chair similar to mine. The Ballard shelves I already have, and I’ve added a cute chair just for funsies. That wall clock I bought from Joss and Main and it is so cute. Check out those pretty black botanicals too! I’ve got some super fun plans for those and I’ll share that project with you real soon. You’re going to love it! So, that’s my office space plan! I hope you like it as much as I do. I mentioned that I’ll be doing a lot of blues and greens (my two fave colors) in this house and the office will come alive with color when I’m finished with it.
I really want to make my laundry room pretty. Turquoise walls, a counter and cabinets, better shelving, and a few cute touches 🙂
We are in desperate need of paint in our home office! We’ve got a few ideas…maybe some sort of muted green/grey. It’s just getting it all together!
My bedroom is in desparate need. Has not had an update since the 80’s
I was using chip it this week. I am doing my daughters room in grays and purples. Very excited with chip it!!!!!
We’re changing our basement into a media room and I’d love to see what wall color and carpet will go with the new recliners.
I tried chip it this week for paint samples for our bedroom and bathroom. Bet you can’t guess what the inspiration picture was… a huggies baby wipe container. I was unloading groceries and it hit me these are beautiful colors. So yep I chiped it.

Tweeted about giveaway!!
I have mentally made over my master bedroom and bath in my head, but I have to wait until I have the $$. With $1,000 and the Chip It tool, I could do it! Thanks for the opportunity!
I never win anything, just wanted to tell you I love the room. Can’t wait to see it complete!
Hi Rhoda,
I just got caught up reading about your house, and it is coming along beautifully. Thanks for sharing the journey with all of us. I would love to use the chip it tool to make over my home office. It is red and I’m so over it! It really needs freshening up!
What room would I use with the Chip It Tool? Well, that’s a difficult one, because basically all of my rooms could use a redo. See, I have ADDD (Attention Deficit Decorator Disorder). I do a little in this room, then move to that room, then hop to the next… and nothing ever gets finished. So, if I win, I PROMISE I will finish something (See, I know I can keep that promise, because I will definitely finish using up the gift card!!)

The turquoise walls are just stunning! Great job.
You are so talented. What a blessing to be able to renovate and decorate an empty house and have it your way. It is coming together beautifully.

I’d really love to update our master bedroom. We have great furniture, but I would love to change up the color scheme!
