Office Mood Board

So my husband has been working from home a lot more lately and it seems my dining room is constantly covered with a laptop, maps, files, folders, etc.. etc.. etc.. Basically anything but what you would typically find on a table, say.. plates? forks perhaps? So anyway, I've decided to turn our front living room (which really is pointless anyway because we never use it) into an office area with a sitting / living space. I've created a mood board of my thoughts. I tried to combine my new tv room plan which was expertly planned out with the help of Holly Mathias Interiors through an online consultation along with some ideas she had for a desk and fabrics, I just put all of it together and added a few of my own ideas.

New projects are so exciting!

Long over due

The kitchen has actually been done for about 2 months now and I'm just now writing a post about it! I can't believe time gets away so fast! Here is a before picture. I don't have any pics of the actual original kitchen because I was so totally embarassed of it. The original had mustard yellow counter tops (classy).

If you have been following the process in my blog, you know how much I hated those checkered floors and how much we had to go through to get them up! It's so strange to look at it now and then look at this old pic. It's like its not even the same house!

Here are the after pictures (yay!)

Counter top shot, and what's that in the corner? A sink?? I've never been so thankful for a kitchen sink after going over 3 months without one.

After I put the curtains up.

I'm still deciding what to do with that empty space above the oven. I originally wanted to put a small pot rack for utensils and things.

The island was made by old barn wood we found in our barn in the backyard. So its a real reclaimed wood table!

I'm so happy its finally done and I think I'm done with construction on the house for a while. It can get pretty stressful, but it was totally worth it.

Thanks for looking. <3
