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.
Rhoda, I love the colors you’ve selected for your office! And you are right. We are going to love it when you finish with it.
I have been toying with making some changes in our kitchen. The walls are green, but I want to introduce some aqua in there. I’ve already collected a few plates, but the chip-it tool would help me decide on a paint color.
Oh Rhoda – I just looovvveee it!! The colors are fabulous and the inspiration board makes me drool!
I would love to make over my office . I am taking it over from my husband and it is so boring and brown. Hope I win!
Can’t wait to see the finished room. I’ about to start my guest bedroom and excited to use Chip It!
I tweeted about this giveaway!

Oooo, I’ve got a newly vacated guest room that would be the perfect candidate for a Chip It inspired redo! Love your office so far, Rhoda — progress!

I would use this giveaway to redo my office/craft room. It is a mess!! Your home is going to be beautiful. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would love to be able to paint our kitchen, dining room and foyer. They all flow together and currently are all different colors originally painted by the homeowner.
Rhoda, that looks wonderful!
Would you believe that my home office has that chevron chair in yellow from Urban Outfitters and my husband’s office has that desk?!?
Great minds think alike?
That ChipIt tool would be great to finish off my home office with a stencil wall inspired by yours!
I would love to redo my office as well. Love your colors. Sherwin Williams is the best
I would love to redo our master bedroom. I would love to chip it to coordinate with the wing back chairs in the sitting area. Great giveaway, I love Sherwin Williams paint.

I want to covert my dining room into a home office. T he dining room is too small for family gatherings and an office fits my needs more at this time. Thanks &your office is looking great!
Rhoda the office is coming along beautifully! I can’t wait to see it with the new floors! I would love to win the contest from Chip it! I’m looking for the perfect grey for my master bedroom.
I want to make over my front living area – well, we’ve turned it into the office. It has a big brown desk, but it lacks a lot and the walls are a off white color. I just love Chip it!

Our master bedroom is in need of a re-do. It is fun watching you transform your new house.
Hi Rhoda!!

Have a great weekend!!

The chip it tool would really help me as I attempt to overhaul a 1960’s ranch! I love that turquoise color too!
I just got some GORGEOUS botanical prints at a garage sale for a dollar a piece!! Can you believe it? They are giant pages from a French flower book and I picked out 6 prints in shades of green and berry. I had to comment when I saw the prints you plan to use. LOVE them. I need to Chip It my master bedroom. With four little girls, we need a retreat and I’m making my bedroom over to be just that.
Absolutely stunning! I’m sure you’re more than motivated to get to work in your beautiful office now. Its amazing what a little sprucing up a work space can do to you level of motivation!
My mom and I have recently began a dessert/candy buffet table business- The Pink Party Planners! Our office is very bland colors and extremely lacking on the decor. If I won this giftcard I would definitely give our office a makeover making it extremely girly, fun & chic with bright colors and modern decor!
