my PINK office

Summer is now gone, and I realized how fast it has gone by. I have been so wrapped up in the remodeling of our home, that I don't feel like summer was ever here. lol Its now crunch time at my atomic ranch. We only have a feel weekends left to finish up what is needed to refinance. We are a bit stressed of course. The Masterbedroom and Bathroom is what is left. The room which we started in, is the room we will finish in. I have been decorating though.

Here is my office.

I never intended on it being so "girly", but when you paint it pink I guess its gonna happen. I collect toys from the 80's, so I was able to display my Carebears. I also love Hello Kitty. The room makes me happy. I have never had an office do that. At my last house I never could get my office "right". I feel I finally have. :) (my husband hates this room.)



My black kitten, Lexey, loves the hot pink shag rug!


My magazine collages I made turned out really well for the room!

I have 5 hanging over each window. It was a cheap and a fun way to decorate. It really helped to bring the pink and red color scheme together. I need more red in the room though. Its not completely done yet. I am sure I will post more photos in the future! I still have a whole blank wall to work with across from my desk. (I have plans for it.)

Here is what my office looked like BEFORE.....

It was a wonderful feeling ripping up the nasty dirty carpet that was in there.

Thanks for stopping by! I will be posting more now that I finally have the internet.

    Jessie, this is a room after my own heart. I love it. You know I love pink, and I love that your furniture is white. And you are correct, the magazine collages work very well in those white frames.

    Is that a big boy I see on your shelf? Interested in selling him and your Michelin man? :-)

    Seriously, I find your home reno seriously inspiring. I dream of an atomic ranch.

    Your office is adorable. I just did a post on home office inspiration. I wish I had seen yours earlier I would have included it. It has so much energy and light - I love it.

    That is a really cute office you have there! :) I love 80's stuff too...I used to have a ton of Carebears, Cabbage Patch kids and Strawberry Shortcake stuff...probably still have some of it at my mom and dad's house. The 80's were happy times! :) I see you've got some Domino mags there too...I subscribe to them too!

    Great redo!! Thanks so much for the comment! It's funny you mention the media room...my husband is planning to do that with the rest of the space down there. We may end up using a big sliding wall/closet dealie from Ikea to create storage and separate my studio from the rest of the room where he will then create a living area with entertainment center and bar area. I have our office upstairs where I do all my graphic design work on the computer, so having 2 spaces is nice. Love your office design!
