Hi there everyone!
Hope all is well.
I have been trying to shape up my home office and
I seem to be at a stand still.
Today, I am sharing decor ideas for a home office.
{This is a sponsored post. I have received product/or compensation} all opinions are my own.
This is our home office back in 2011. The Armoire unit was my desk.
Totally not functional, and quite frankly the most uncomfortable set up.
I later on painted the Armoire and brightened up the area.
It did brighten it up, however the functionality of it all just plain ole stunk!
In fact,this set up later on caused me to have a frozen shoulder. I suppose 4 years of blogging out of an Armoire will do that to you.
This part of our home is upstairs in an open loft area.
Although, not seen by the general public day to day,
I really want it to be comfortable, stylish and inspiring.
For me
My old office space was nice, don’t get me wrong.
Now that I have a comfortable and functional real desk that I actually had custom made,
I am stuck in a decorating rut.
I already reupholstered my office chair
Made and old window bulletin board, and made some can caddies.
Then it all stopped.
Oh, I thought to myself,
I really need to decorate up here now.
I would love some new art, lighting, and a little more organizing solutions.
That is when I stumbled across
55 Downing street.
Mike and I spent about an hour just browsing and bookmarking our favorites.
Today I thought I would share with you some of the decor.
You can’t believe the eye candy over there. I was really impressed.
In fact, I barely on line browse as long as I did on 55 Downing street.
First thing that caught our eye was this bamboo rug.
My office chair has wheels on it. Wheels and carpet do not mesh well if you know what I mean.
I think this bamboo rug would be the perfect fix. A lot cheaper than new floors for now.
Foothill Collection Brindle 5’X8′ Bamboo Rug
Bamboo rugs have been a traditional floor covering in the Far East for centuries. They add a touch of organic, practical elegance to any space.
Then there is the issue of lighting.
Good office lighting is a must.
The only lighting I have is the over head fabric chandes, which are pretty,
but the lighting is awful. It’s just not good to work in dim lighting.
My boys also do homework at this desk and they are forever complaining about the lighting situation. We need to rectify that STAT!
Brass Finish Pharmacy Floor Lamp
Reading lamps provide great lighting next to a chair or sofa. I think this Brass Finish Pharmacy light would be a great solution.
When it comes to my bazillion stencils, paint brushes, ribbon, fabric, and craft supplies, well there is no rhyme or reason to where they are.
I just have them scattered about in drawers, in closets and yes even under our bed.
Zulle Quilted Burgundy Storage Bench
This Quilted storage bench would not only look stylish but it would serve a purpose for all of the above craft supplies.
This last piece here, my husband actually found and said this is perfect and I know a piece you would love. He was right, because he knows me so well.
Uttermost Antique Keyboard 35″ Wide Giclee Wall Art.
Not to mention, how nice it would compliment my office chair. It would bring it all together.
Can you see the style I am going for? Comfortable, traditional office space. With organization.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Hope you follow me around.
I like your choices! I need to re-do our craft room, but there’s no heat or air in there, so we can only use it two months out of the year.
That doesn’t sound great Kirby…you need to have some warmth when needed and cool when HOT lol!
Those are great items for your office Debbie. I can’t wait to see the reveal.
I love it all! I can’t wait to see it!!~~Angela
Me too Angela!
I like what you’ve picked out and it’s great that your hubby is voicing his opinion. By the way, we used to have one of those desk armoires and you are right – they aren’t really great.
Yes my hubby is great with decorating too! He enjoys it.
What a smart solutuion to use the extra seating as storage. I love a 2’fer. The print is gorgeous. I really like the vibe and it’ll go so well with what you have already done!!
Thanks Shannon! I needed to do something with all this craft stuff! This will be perfect.
I love the lamp too, I can’t wait to see the finish!
Thanks Laurie. The lamp is going to be very helpful up here.
I love that typewriter keyboard wall print, Debbie! If I had a spare wall in our home office, I’d get that in a minute. Having been a secretary for many years {and taking typing classes in high school} this would be a great throwback and memory to that time.
Same with me Kathy..I loved my typing class in HS it was my favorite. Sad the kids do not have it anymore these days.
Some great items made it on your wish list, Debbie. I especially love the giclee print.
Thanks Sheila..that seems to be a favorite of everyone. Perfect for an office.
LOVE all your choices Debbie!! Can’t wait to see the space finished!
Thanks Martina! It’s going to be a lot better than before!
How exciting! I love what you picked, especially that typewriter print. Can’t wait to see it all come together!
That is my fave too!
I love the things you picked out…it’gonna be a great office.
I can’t wait to see your office…I LOVE LOVE LOVE the typewriter print!
I love all the ideas the lighting it would be great bamboo carpet love that bench for storage and that print for the wall is just awsome
I like the typewriter print – very classy – I also really like what you did with your office chair, I have a chair similar to that and it is plain nasty, You have inspired me to cover it and make it like new.

I LOVE the Zulle Quilted Burgundy Storage Bench! It’s so elegant yet simple. This would look great in my office. Thanks so much for the decorating ideas!
