Pretty in Pink- MY OFFICE Redo

C'mon In!

I am new to being a SAHM (It's been 6 months). I used to have a big corporate job. I decided I wanted to stay home and watch my baby girl grow up. That being said, I still think I need an office. Okay, so I WANT an office. A girly room, filled with things I love. A space I can call my own and go into everyday (naptime...ahhhhh, can I get an amen mommies?). I like to read my design magazines in here, monogram, write notes, etc. I also love to sit and have wine with a girlfriend in this room. I have my ipod/speakers set up and anything else I can to make it feel homey. Do you like it?

and now for the dreaded 'before' pic......

BEFORE

This is what the office used to look like. Dark, drab, dreary are the words that come to mind. I hated going in there. I think my husband did too, because NO ONE ever went in that room. What a waste of space! I cannot stand non functional spaces. Would you wanna hang out in this room? I think not. So, the change was in order!

DURING

This is my cute hubby, John. My friends call him St. John. That is because he does things like paint his wife's 'office' blush pink. I love that about him. He is the best and I am a lucky girl.
