Office Evolution

Byljanning@dukemanorfarm.com
They say good things happen to “offices” who wait.  Really they do.  
See, it only took my office a few color schemes over the course of several years, and several gallons of paint to get to this point.

     From Meadow Green a few years ago, to which I blame that color choice entirely on my pregnancy hormones, with twins………
 so it was slightly elevated
 
To a much more soothing beige that had me unfortunately uninspired and always wanting more…..
To my now peaceful, calm and serene workplace.



 Months of colors thrown on a wall

while contemplating the right decision 

 All to get to this point.

And every time I hear that old cliche that good things come to offices that wait , I have to smile…… 
and so does my office.
Are you working on any room evolutions right now?

  1. Actually, I like all of them! Your current office is truly elegant and serene, I don't know how much work I'd get done in there, I'd be too busy smiling and relaxing! It's beautiful,

  6. It's funny how other before always makes me think "Oh my, what on earth was the poor soul thinking????" and the after "there's light after darkness" 😉 but not with you.

    I love all the phases, all the colors, and can see Top in everyone of them. You really have a knack for it, mindless the era/time you're decorating in. You are one of those persons that don't get a "oh my, those 80's. tscc tscc" but "oh, right, that was your 80's office!"

    Absolutely in love with your now. I'd sleep there had it be mine ahahahah. I'm moving my home office (now I'm bragging because in fact it is just a desk ;)) from the dressing room to the space below the stairs which in fact is in the living room. So many decisions for a desk and a wall… but I'll come around :hopeful:.

    Welcome back, by the way.

    Hugs,
    Teresa

  8. If good things come to offices that wait, then mine has hope for something magical in it's future as well 🙂 Your space is divine Laura, thinking of you and your family often, hugs

  9. Oh your office is beautiful. Sometimes going through the process can be frustrating, but yours was well worth the wait. So calm and serene! One day I hope my office space can be like that.

    Also, Laura, my heart is so saddened at the loss of your beautiful niece. Like so many others, our family is praying for yours – that you will find comfort in our Savior, Jesus Christ and experience a peace that passes all understanding as you journey through this heartache. May the days ahead be filled with wonderful memories of Jessica's beautiful life.

  11. Laura, I love your office!! The colors are beautiful, but what color and brand di you use on the walls and desk? I've been wanting a great neutral and this is great! Thanks!

  15. Your office is beautiful and I love the paint color. One question, is the ceiling fixture lined in striped fabric or is it spokes on the shade?

  18. That is one beautiful office space!! So elegant and cozy at the same time;) Much better than the green lol.

  32. Your office makeover looks just stunning. I am in the process of looking for a new house so will then be moving into decorating and diy, so am pinning this for inspiration.

    Stopping by from the Give me the Goods party.

  33. Hi Laura, I would love to know if you painted the silver frames on your wall. I've been trying to find a good silver paint to re-purpose some frames I have. I would love to know what you used and it you would recommend it. They look great!
