My Sorta Kinda Shiny New Home Office


You may or may not know that my 18 year-old son moved to Los Angeles back in January to become a struggling actor. Every since he was in middle school, he’s always wanted to hit it big in Hollywood. So after saving his duckets from working a part-time job after graduation last year, he made the move to Cali. His room sat dormant and untouched for a few months, and last week, I finally decided to turn his old stomping ground into my new home office.

Previously, my home office was anywhere and everywhere in my house. Sometimes it was in my bedroom; sometimes it was in the living room or dining area. I worked wherever I could, but never really had a “true” office home. I sat down and sketched out a few pictures of what I wanted in my home office and worked to make my “drawings” come reality.

I wanted the room to have a futon since my son would be visiting and would need a place to sleep. And because it’s a tight space, I knew a small desk would have to suffice. I also wanted a few wall shelves and “encouraging” photos to help me on days that weren’t so good. I longed for a warm and cozy space with lime green and orange and gray and brown. A TV was also necessary for background noise and such.

Pretty much everything that was on my wish list is now in my home office with the exception of a few more decor and accent pieces. I would like to add a wall clock and another stand that I can place my printer on (until then, it’s still in my bedroom). The room also houses a wicker basket with sheets and towels and pillows for overnight guests to use since the room still needs to be multi-functional.

Below are a few pictures of my new home office. I also want to paint the walls and get new window treatments. But so far, it’s becoming a creative space for me to work in. I am so thankful to finally have a place that I can call my home office. And although I miss my son, he still has a place to come home to.

What do you think?

    Looks good! Always nice to have a room to know when you go in it, it is time for business and laser focus.

    We are buying a futon very similar to that one in the photo as well. You get yours at Weekends Only as well?

    Nice! You def need it to make sure you have the space to really focus (and make my money)!!! Also, when it’s time for a break or stop work for the day, it’s good to leave the office and it makes it easier to separate work and home life. 🙂
