Office Makeover

April 28, 2022

We tackled and finished our first room makeover in the new house. The office sits on the first floor next to the dinning room and right inside the front door. There is a large opening but currently no doors, we’ve spoken with a local woodworker and hope to have custom french doors created for the space. The office is a shared space between my husband and I so a style that works for both of us was the goal.

I knew I wanted to go with more of a moody style for the office and the first thing I was set on was painting the ceiling black and the walls a shade of green. Most of the rooms in the farmhouse have decorative tile ceilings and the ones in this room turned out so cool painted black. After multiple color samples I landed on Benjamin Moore Black Beauty (2128-10) in the Regal Select Matte Finish for the ceiling and Benjamin Moore Peale Green (HC-121) in the Regal Select Matte Finish for the walls. Since the ceiling and walls are both heavily textured (also some paneling) I didn’t want to go with a high sheen paint to highlight those areas. This was my first time using a matte finish and I really like the look of it in here.

A lot of the accent furniture that I brought into the room are thrifted or antique items that I have been collecting. The set of lockers were a Facebook marketplace find and add for extra storage in the room. We had the wine fridge in our kitchen at our previous home but the layout of this house doesn’t allow for it to be in the kitchen. I found the green/orange metal table a few years ago locally and the wine fridge fit perfectly underneath of it. I have linked some similar items at the bottom of this post. The floors are original hardwood but they aren’t in the best of shape. Until we get them refinished we purchased an 8×10 rug from Ruggable that matches well with the walls but still keeps it a bit lighter in the room. We still have a few more items to purchase for in here like another office chair and curtains.

It’s been a couple weeks since the above photos where taken and our ceiling light fixture finally arrived! We will be adding a dimmer switch to this light because she is BRIGHT! But it’s exactly what this room needed. I’ve also been working on my desk area and finding some pieces to style it with (go to our TikTok page to see what Goodwill finds I’ve added).

Four. We have been a party of four for the past fi Four. We have been a party of four for the past five weeks and it’s going to take many more weeks to get used to it, adding a babe to the family with a toddler is a BIG adjustment. I know one day they’ll be the best of friends, today is not that day. 

Yesterday I did brave the grocery store with both (we’ve been doing grocery pickup or shopping on the weekend when Travis is home). Carrier in one arm, Ted in another. Thanks to the sweet lady who offered to unload her cart in the parking lot to give to us.
Truman’s room made all my vintage nursery dreams Truman’s room made all my vintage nursery dreams come true. The paneling on the walls was perfect and I knew it had to stay (I’m sure the day will come where he’ll want it painted). I used most of the same nursery decor that we had for Teddy and added a few new things. Teddy enjoys going in and stealing all his things and I’m sure soon enough Truman will do the same to big brothers room.
