Welcome to REVEAL week for the $100 Room Challenge hosted by Erin at Lemons, Lavender & Laundry! I am so excited to share my new office with you! I will admit that I was skeptical about giving up my dining room for an office for a few reasons but mostly that I am terrible with change. I can now say this was one of the best decisions I have made in this house! Not only do we actually use this space now but my home just feels more lived in and just more R&R. Before I do the full reveal let's take a walk down memory lane through this past month. In Week 1, I shared my vision for this space. Week 2 brought 50 shades of greige paint colors as well as my love affair with Revere Pewter. In Week 3 of this challenge I rounded up my favorite area rugs with price tags under $100 after realizing I was going to need a new rug for this makeover (not necessarily in the budget- but we figured it out!). Finally, last week I showed you how I transformed old books into fun, neutral office decor. Whew... what a month it has been! Well, let's get to the good stuff shall we! Here is a look at what this room looked like before (on the day we moved in actually!). And just like that this room became our office! Can we first talk about how gorgeous my Grandfather's desk is?! Technically, I have been 'babysitting' this desk until it is passed along to my older sister (she claimed it years ago and I won't live it down if I don't mention it here) but until that day comes- I am going to enjoy this gorgeous desk! Sidenote: I love frames that make it easy to switch out pictures! This desk came to me chairless- but I scored this one at a neighborhood garage sale last summer for $8! I am pretty sure they were meant to be together! The biggest change we made to this room was painting the walls my new go-to gray, Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore. We also added this gorgeous rug that I scored for $80 at At Home! It really gives this space a whole new look! I recently completed another room makeover, my son's playroom (see reveal here), and was lucky to be replacing the light fixture in that room. So, we put this chandelier in storage and hung a more 'officey' light fixture (and thank goodness because I cannot tell you how many times I bopped my head on that chandelier when I stood up from my desk, haha!). UPDATE: We had trouble installing the light fixture with the glass bowl so I ordered some wood beads on Amazon and updated the light fixture for less than $20 (after reveal). See the tutorial here. Speaking of 'borrowing'... these ladder shelves used to live in our family room but were uprooted to this new spot where I think they will have a better life! I love to fill my shelves with beautiful pieces but I also love to fill my home with pictures of those I love! Ok- so the borrowing theme continues... I stole this chair from our master bedroom. It has definitely left a void in our room but if I am being 100% honest that chair was mostly used for throwing clothes on that I didn't feel like folding or putting away (yes... it was that chair). I really think this chair will actually be used here! And really brings the space together. I love the bright white of this piece and how it breaks up the dark wood pieces in this room. I'll do a short and sweet budget breakdown below because I only made two purchases for this challenge! In all of my other $100 Room Challenge's I have never blown my budget on one big item like I had to on this challenge but I have always said a strict budget forces me to be creative. Most of the small design details you see in this space are items I already had on hand. I 'shopped by house' as they like to say. Budget Breakdown: Paint- $18 Rug- $79 Total Cost: $97 I hope you enjoyed this round of the $100 Room Challenge! Be sure to check out all of the other reveals linked below!
