Home Office Christmas Tour

December 22, 2015 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

It is a wet and rainy day here…if only the temperature would drop and turn the rain into snow! Well, a girl can dream, can’t she?

I am doing another room tour this afternoon.  This is my Home Office Christmas Tour.  It may be wet and dreary outside but inside it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Home Office Christmas Tour 2015

I  had previously shared my Christopher Radko Shiny Brite Village in Thrift Shop Thursday last week but I don’t think I mentioned that it is set up in my home office.

I was excited to decorate my IKEA Billy Bookcase  for Christmas.

Once I got started, I realized I didn’t want to add a lot to it.  I think I have enjoyed it so much since we finished it that I didn’t want to add a lot of clutter with Christmas decorations. I can’t believe that I  just said that… “too much clutter from Christmas decorations” from the person that decorates 6 trees each year!

Anyway, I did add a few Christmas accents such as my DIY Believe sign, gold Christmas Trees and a Gold Santa.  I also added a wreath that was originally in my kitchen and some silver glitter trees.  Harry Frost, our Elf on the Shelf, has made several appearances in the Home Office this year.

We use the same stockings each year and hang them from the fireplace mantel that is in my office.

Even though Santa leaves our gifts under the tree in our family room, we have always hung the stockings in the room that is now my office. I started this tradition when we first moved to this home and the boys were little.  The stocking are the last thing we open.  When the boys were little, they would sometimes forget about them and remember them later on in the day and it was another added little surprise. Even though they are older, we still hang them in this room.

This year when I pulled the decorations out of storage, I decided to donate some of the decorations I no longer use.  I donated three of my older trees.  I ended up buying this $32 tree at Michaels.  It is a very slim pre-lit tree.  I wanted to add some extra decorative berries or branches to fill it out a bit more but the Gman liked it as is …hmmm maybe next year!

Three more days…I wish we still had three more weeks.  I love the weeks leading up to Christmas but each year they come and go much too quickly.

Tomorrow, I will be sharing our Christmas in the City Tour.

Until Next Time,

Revamping a Vintage Wash Stand

August 16, 2015 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

I recently completed my home office which you can see here.  I have been using the office for a few months now and I really love this space.  I find myself adding small little touches here and there, and most recently I added a new/old piece for a spot behind my desk.  I think the revamped wash stand fits into my office perfectly.

Home Office: How to Redesign a Space

Today, I am finally sharing my brand new Home Office.  We have been working on this office for quite some time.  It all started with the Billy Bookcase. I always say this when we finish a room but this is now one of my favorite rooms!

Creating a Home Office Space

Home Office Creativiy

We are in the planning stages of creating a home office space.  I had originally planned on making an office space in the basement and I did create a desk space that I love which you can see here.  BUT it is in the basement and I am just going to say it…that basement scares me to the point that I will not go down there unless someone else is with me.  If I am forced to go downstairs by myself,  I reach my hand around the corner to turn the light on before I even start down the steps.  Then I get what I need and run as fast as I can back up the stairs and shut the door. I consider it my aerobic workout for the day.  In all seriousness, it is a nice space but it is too dark for me.  The boys like to hang out with their friends and play pool and watch movies.   So for now, we will just leave it as the man cave!

Filing Cabinet Revamp

September 24, 2013 By stylishrevamp 7 Comments

We have decided to carve out some space to make a home office for me and my youngest (the one that helps me with this blog).  My husband is giving up some of his space in the man cave.  Once I get more of the space complete, I will share it with you.

So after he agreed to give up some space in the basement for our home office, I knew I wanted to revamp his old filing cabinet. He has had this filing cabinet for a long, long time.  Every time we clean out the garage he says we can get rid of it but we never do. Now I am going to use it in my new space.

Spray Painted Filing Cabinet

I used all my leftover primer and spray paint from previous projects.  I did the base of the cabinet and the drawers in two different shades of gray.  Once that dried, I added the stencil numbers and stripes in white.

This is the Before

I think it will look great in our new space.  I can’t wait to get the office finished and put it to good use.  Here is another photo of the filing cabinet. I think she is looking pretty good considering she has been sitting in one garage or another for over 20 years!
