I am so happy that the sun came out today! It made for some great pictures of my office :) I have been so excited to reveal this room to you. I worked so hard on it. I built, made, or painted almost everything in here. Because of that, and waiting for a little extra money here and there, it took me about 3 months to do. Thanks for your patience as I finished this big project! I have received so many emails asking if I was done yet. I am and I AM IN LOVE! I wish you could see it in person. Today I am just revealing the whole room and over the next week I will break it down showing how I did it all.
I built 6 floating shelves out of old fence pickets. I think they are my favorite thing in my new office! They have a surprise too......
If you read my post about painting the room 3 times you know the story about the color. I will write a post giving the custom tint info later. I used Behr Premium paint. It rocks! Very good coverage :)
Right now we have this brown armoire in the office that I have converted into a computer cabinet. It may be moving to the downstair family room when we finish the basement. Si if we do move it, I will put the blue chair I painted there in its place.
The thing I am the most proud of is this shoe storage bench that I built. It turned out so well!
I know there id an empty picture frame and even though that is popular right now I do not intend to leave it empty. I am planning on framing the Better Homes and Gardens article. I just haven't gotten to it yet....

OH MY GOSH!!! It is SO super fabulous and bright and cheery and fun and perfect! And that bench? AMAZING! Seriously, you are the poster child for DIY home projects. I expect to see you as Home Depot's spokesperson in 2012. And maybe have your own show. If so, can I be your publicist? Pretty please?
OK just WOW WOW WOW! Love the color!
I love it! Definitely worth your wait. The bench is awesome.
I love the chunky floating shelves- nice work.
Gorgeous!!

The color, the color....my gosh....the color! I LOVE that deep teal. And the distress-ee shelves are fab too! That yummy chair makes me wanna come over and have a chat.....while you tell me about not being scared of power tools. You're amazing, Stacey. And I suppose I can quel my jealousy of your fab space...just because I heart you, big time.
This is stunning! I love the shelves! That rug is so perfect! I kinda hope you painted it because I have been dying to paint a rug!
Holy shizz Stacey...It's perfect! I'm in LOVE with the shelves. I can't wait for the breakdown post.

Wow! This room is amazing! I love the color combination. I think my favorite thing are those awsome shelves.

It looks amazingly beautiful!!!!! Can't wait for the details breakdown! Congrats!
Beautiful! The color is gorgeous! Would you mind sharing what brand and color it is? We just bought a house and I have plenty of rooms I need paint!
Awesome! Love the color palette, and the textures and shapes and all the little details. Most impressed that you did it all yourself. Can't wait for more details. BTW, in my life, three months to finish a project is doing really well. I've lived in this house 24 years, and it doesn't look anywhere near as nice as this room. With four kids????
Love love love the rustic floating shelves!! Amazing office! I would love to have you come share this at our link party...junkintheirtrunk.blogspot.com/2011/11/link-it-up-wednesday-4.html
Seriously!! How do you do it?! I am in awe at how talented you are. I'm looking forward to seeing how you did it all :)
You have inspired me to paint my own craft room and make changes.....I have added it to my already long list of tado's, which brings to mind I have been meaning to ask you if you hire out? I will help, but with your creativity I am quite sure we can do it in about 4 hours. your room is beautiful. And where do you stash all your crafts in process? It looks so tidy.....
I *love* this office. Love the colors, the decor, everything. You are so very talented. You should get your own DIY show, seriously.

Pinned this!
I love everything about it! It's perfect!!
Yes, love it! Your room is so sophisticated. I'm almost finished my craft room but it definitely doesn't look professional like this one! What color did you use? I tried to paint my room turquoise twice but I keep coming up with crazy blinding blues.

This looks fantastic. I love the color combo of blue and grays.
Very cozy and inviting.
Those floating shelves are gorgeous! Love them!
well, we got my sewing room in the closet finished just in time for what the Dr. said was a horrific case of shingles. Still coping with that and the neuropathy and nerve blockers and have gotten to make one project and some mending in the lovely sewing room.
i do enjoy your posts and feel encouraged by them.
