The last time I showed you my office, it looked just like that – an office. And a messy one at that! Since I don’t work out of the house anymore, the office slowly morphed into my dumping ground for fabric, crafts, bills, wrapping paper, and everything else in between. It was heaven to me, but Kyle called it my “tornado zone” and I admit, it was a messy room. Proof is in the pic!
In an effort to keep our second bedroom a livable room and space, we’ve slowly been converting it from an office into a bedroom. So today I’m going to show you where we are at. One important thing to note – we’ve been converting the space using stuff we already have. Meaning, I haven’t bought anything new for this room, except for these lovely pillows that I blogged about last week (!!!).
They are from be still homewares and I love them! They have been my one and only purchase for our soon-to-be official second bedroom, which currently looks like this (note to self – smooth out the comforter before taking pictures):
It’s slowly coming together. I still need to:
- Select fabric and sew curtains
- Purchase colored sheets (blue? green?)
- Add a few more pillows
- Position creme colored jute rug (already own)
- Accessorize (the fun part!)
After it’s complete, I’ll be sure to post much more comprehensive photos. As for what we’ve already used in the space, I snagged the bed frame and blue chest of drawers off Craigslist years ago. The white end table was a piece I stumbled upon in my Aunt’s basement. All of the pieces received a mini-makeover before finding their way to our second bedroom. They both deserve a post of their own, so stay-tuned to hear about their face-lifts!
Again, we still have a lot of work to do to make the space feel cohesive and cozy, but it’s a start.
