Today is Day three of the HOUSEography House Tour Linky Party, and today is all about the home office, craft room, Mom Cave, or other special nook of the home! Since my last post on my home office, I’ve done a bit of updating, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to go ahead and take some new photos and share them with y’all!
As everything is always a process, there are a few things that I haven’t gotten to yet, and am still working on (I’ll get there…):
- Upholstered headboard- with extra tapestry fabric from Ikea Anita Grey Curtains (upcoming DIY project!)
- Add bedskirt (either white or grey)
- New, neutral bedding (The current yellow bedding is something we already had, but it is just too much yellow for the room! We’ll go with either all white bedding with colorful pillows and a throw, or grey, white, and light blue bedding)
- Magnetic task board (another upcoming DIY project, and it will take the place of the traditional bulletin board)
- Cut current Ikea Anita Grey Curtain in half to drape on both sides of the window
- Debating whether to frame paintings currently on picture ledges
If you didn’t catch my last post about Melissa at HOUSEography, here are the details…
HOUSEography is a great blog written by Melissa, an adorable attorney by day and DIY diva by night!!! (Since I am in law school, I totally look up to her!) To check out other entries, you can go to HOUSEography. Melissa also has a full schedule posted for the House Party Linky Tour, here.
NOW THAT YOU’VE GOT THE SCOOP… HEAD ON OVER TO HER LINKY PARTY AND CHECK OUT ALL THE AMAZING SPACES!!!

Love it. I’m envious… I wish I had a little space to call my own. Maybe one day…
as I tell our friends down in SLO, property costs a ton more down there! Move up this way and you can have tons more space for the $$$. Your house is totally cute though… so maybe you can consider ALL of the house “your own” space!
Love that room! I am a huge fan of yellow of course – so cheerful and timeless. Thanks again for linking up to the tour and for the love!
totally having a blast with the linky party Melissa! I’ve found some amazing inspiration and blogs through it, so thanks for organizing it all!!!
What a pretty and cheerful space! I’m loving your bird painting too!
Thanks for stopping by and for the bird-painting L-O-V-E! I’m on a bit of a bird kick, but that one is near and dear to my cheerful heart!
Love this room!! So soothing. And absolutely LOVE that painting with the birds.
Thanks so much and thank you for stopping by my blog!
I totally fell for that bird painting and can’t get enough of it… LOL Glad you like it too!
I saw your link over at HOUSEography! I love how organized and clean it looks! Great job!
Thanks for stopping by Kathy and thanks for the feedback!
Beautiful! Yellow is such a hard color for me to get right but you ‘nailed it’! I love the art too! What a pretty space!
Thank you soooo much Roeshel! I LOVE your blog and am very flattered that you stopped by and shared such a wonderful compliment!
The room is definitely not done, but it’s getting there!!! (when is anything really done though… right?)
You had me at yellow and grey
Probably my fav color combo ever. Now if I could only get Brian on board for yellow accents in my planned grey and creme bedroom.
You are too cute Nina! Tell Brian that yellow doesn’t have to be girly at all! You can always use the golden rod variety of yellow to make it more mature and rich!
Love the yellow…someone else mentioned that it’s a hard color to do “right”…and you totally did it!!
Thanks Michelle!
Great office space, I love the bird painting behind your desk. Where did you get it? I linked up at Houseography this week too.
Thanks Elizabeth! The bird painting was actually a lucky find from the Ross store by our house! I’ve never had huge luck at Ross until recently. I was more of a Marshalls, Home Good, TJ Maxx – kind’a girl!
Thanks for hopping over to my blog and leaving a comment! I, too, love that bird painting and I really like the yellow color of the room… it is so soothing… I even feel soothed in the office!
Thanks for stopping by too Catherine! LOVE your blog!
I just saw your husband’s name is also Eric… hehehe, hooray!
Too funny!!! My dad’s name is also Eric, making it super confusing for the family… which means that we’ve come up with all kinds of ways to distinguish… Eric Sr. v. Eric Jr., your Eric v. my Eric, Eric-dad… we’ve gotten creative!
YOU TEASE! I just read your Facebook comment about how we’re totally going shopping if I’m ever in Cali and then I read this?! (Yes, I’m behind.) Siiiiiiiiigh.
Your guest room is awesome!
Thanks Cait! And, YES… we’re going shopping when you come to visit!
Hehe I love that you said “when”! Oh bossman…. I may need to take some time off…
This room is beautiful! I love, love the art on the wall and the arrangement, it is just beautiful. The white furniture is perfect with the wall color too! Maybe when my nest is emptier I can have a pretty guest room/ home office! I can dream right!
Of course! A girl’s gotta dream
!!! Thanks for the compliment! This room really is a sanctuary for me when it comes to studying and keeping my sanity.
that looks awesome- i especially love the desk and the artwork… the artwork is so colorful and really pops in the room.
Thanks Cassie! This room has been a lot of fun.
Stopping by on the home tour link-up! Beautiful room!! I really like the splash of colors and the display of prints.
Hi Shannon! Thanks for stopping in and for the really sweet feedback!
Great guest room. LOVE those colorful pillows!
Thanks! Not sure if the pillow are going to be permanent, but they work for now.
