Double-Wide in the Sky: Closet Turned Office Revamp Reveal

Well, with this new year... I plan to be more productive {ahem.... ahem....}.

We'll see how that turns out ;)

But, seriously, how can I NOT be productive. Can you relate? All the hats we wear..... wow! There seems to be NO choice. Like it is a mutiny upon us....
BE productive or you will feel like everything is falling apart!

I have days where I feel like I am on top of it all.....
and days where I feel like my WHOLE ENTIRE world is falling apart.

Can you relate?
Surely, I must not be alone.

Good.

I didn't think so.

So, this is where some of my worlds collide.

I have not been productive on the posting front. During the holidays, my family and the activities around us took priority. And that is all fine and good.... but, I promised a post on the Closet Turned Office Revamp back in October! That's like 3 months ago...... yikes!!!! It wasn't until my Master Bedroom Revamp Reveal was just featured on Tater Tots and Jello {yippee skippee!!!}, that I realized how non-productive I was in completing that promise.

So, here I go.... making good on a promise!

Here is the link to the original version of my Closet Turned Office. You can get the whole story on how I fell in love with our Double-Wide in the Sky just because of this closet.... and yes, I am still in love {hearts popping all over the screen right now}.

And here is the revamp reveal in all it's promised glory!

This is what started it all.

THAT WALLPAPER!

That removable wallpaper found here!!!!
It's from Tempaper Designs and they have several other print and color options. Once I found which option I liked, the cheapest place to purchase it was on Amazon... go figure!

I used 2 rolls in this transformation.... so, I was able to do it for under $100. Not bad for the complete impact it provides. But, it wasn't that easy to install by myself. Yes... I said by MYSELF! I would have to say it is a 2 person job. But, I was productive that day... so, I made it happen {wink wink}.

I decided to take down the wall of photos since most of the photos were old. The pics of my kiddo were from 4-6 years ago! That's a long time.. due to the fact he is 8 now! I am NOT very productive in the family photo department. Boo... me.... I know.

And this wallpaper just gives me so much energy and inspiration! I LOVE it!

I also, love the collection of items on my desk. It really speaks MY STYLE very loudly.

It makes me so happy!

And that's... a good thing...

The Foo Dogs were found at an antique store {aren't they gorgeous... and so large!}.

The vintage framed bamboo art was also picked up in an antique store.

The gold frame was found at a thrift store and I framed some gorgeous marble print paper.

I have a couple of clear paper weights from my rather large collection joining the group on the desk.

And that heart.... that heart... makes my heart happy. It is actually from ZGallerie, but it speaks so much of what I am about. Not only am I a heart disease survivor, but I volunteer on the Passion Committee of the American Heart Association here in Dallas.

This lamp was in the old set up. I just revamped it by adding Gold Rub 'n Buff to the wood base and top. It glams it up nicely. The lamp shade was from Target a while back.

I added the wallpaper to 2 walls in the closet... ahem.... I mean my office.

This wall is seen from the entry of our Double-Wide in the Sky. I keep the door open -- always --- except for when I am working. And from my last post about this office space, you will read about how much I LOVE having a door and a place ALL MY OWN!

And that is, after all, what this space is about.

It's about ME. Not like I am a selfish person.... But, my kiddo has HIS room. My hubby has HIS office.... I now have a place all my own. And it is a little feminine.... but that is because I am too!

And I will really send it over the edge when I find or redo an office chair in PINK... hah!

Or, maybe red... or coral.... or navy.... I'll feel it when I find the perfect chair!

I've still kept the painting from Guatemala. That is a very sweet reminder of my loving family that lives there. I cherish this painting. And it just suits the space so perfectly! I still have all of our current homeschool curriculum housed in that black dresser. It's just perfect to work out of.

I did change up what these drawers are for. I actually organized them quite nicely. They are divided into compartments. The drawers house my American Heart Association pamphlets, etc... cards.... office supplies.... art supplies, etc, etc. Just MY items though, no homeschool stuff in this dresser! It keeps me more organized for those many hats I wear. Can you feel me?!

This was the second wall I covered with the wallpaper. I also added a LARGE mirror. Do you know how difficult it is not to capture yourself in mirrors when taking pics. That's why I always do so many interesting angles... hah!

But, I thought I would show you a little bit of me too --- in my pj's ---- hair not done --- chipped nail polish --- no makeup -- zit showing. Don't enlarge the photo.... trust me..... you don't want that looking at you.

Pretend I am all made up for a photo shoot like the lovely Madonna here. Please refrain from any negative feedback on this piece of art... cuz... I LOVE it! I was fortunate enough to attend her concert as a VIP guest and I was able to view her tour from the Golden Triangle..... talk about FUN! Whoah!!!! So, this numbered limited addition piece is part of the VIP package... and it is just the perfect addition of color, fun, memories and sass into my place of work.

I feel my office has taken on a whole new life form. I know I received SO many wonderful comments about the first go around and they really made my day.... I hope you can appreciate the fun creative changes I made to this space....
