HOME OFFICE DESIGN UPDATE: Shades of Pink With Window Treatment and Accessories


 



Monogram by Everything Embroidered
 (Paramus Park Mall)


Loving my new pink throw purchased at TJ Maxx




***

It all started with "Phase One . . ." of my blog post, with the wallpaper installation in an empty - soon to be my home office.  You can read that post here.

Next, it was the "Home Office Updated Progress . . ." post seen here.  The cabinets were installed and I pulled everything together; minus a chair.

The last post, seen here, included the office chair and accessories.

It has been a long time coming.  Piecing it all together was worth all the effort and wait time.  I have learned from this experience, as well as other experiences, taking your time is key to creating the look you want.  If I rush into something, just to have it, I'm unhappy in the end or shortly thereafter.

The last phase of this home office design was the window treatment.  The owners at my local fabric store (Fabric King in Westwood) recommended a woman, Nancy Joudanin of Curtains Boutique.  Nancy specializes in custom window treatments.  So, after several calls later, a consult appointment, we were on our way to designing this window treatment.

I knew I wanted a soft roman shade in a pale pink fabric.  Finding the right shade of pink was pretty challenging.  There aren't many options for pink fabrics; especially soft or blush colored fabrics. . . surprising, I know!  After finding the fabric, receiving it and having it custom made, I decided I wanted to add a monogram to the shade.  Nancy recommended a place for me, since she was not able to do it herself.  Nancy also recommended adding beading to the bottom.  It's such a pretty detail to the overall design.

I absolutely love the way the roman shade came out.  It's the perfect piece to complete my home office.  Nancy was a joy to work with and communicated with me throughout the entire process.

For accessories, I found, the most perfect blush throw.  I have it over my chair and love to wrap myself around it, when blogging or surfing the web.

And, there you have it!  I think I can officially say, my office is complete!

Thanks for stopping by. . .  If you have any questions about this post, please feel free to comment.  I hope u enjoyed this journey with me and are inspired.

GUEST BEDROOM DESIGN PROJECT

Hi.  I can't believe it's been over two weeks since my last post (sorry readers).  Work, commuting and home have been occupying my time.

Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.  Ours was a wash, with rain the entire weekend.  But, the advantage was being able to get projects done, inside the house.  My husband has been working on our master bathroom; re-grouting the shower and floor surround.  No easy task but will be happy once it's done and cleaned up.

I've been working on the design for our guest room.  I wanted the space to be fitting for both male and female.  It started off with black, white and natural.  But, after staring at the space it was just a "blah" room.  Last week I found some pink pillow covers at IKEA and decided to incorporate some pink in the design.  Nothing to extreme but just enough to add some interest. Which left me thinking.  Is it okay to add pink to a unisex guest room??  Hell yeah - why not!

Not convinced?  Let's take a look at some gorgeous males, fashionably stylish in pink:

 Here's my design plan thus far:





Last on the list are window treatments.  I'm searching for fabric shades that won't break the bank.  Ugh, I wish I knew how to sew.

Looking forward to seeing the completed space.  I'll be sure to share sourcing details on the final project.

Thanks for stopping by.
