Welcome back! Last week I gave you an update on the bedroom so its only fitting that I give an office update this week. You may recall from my original office post (Week 3) that I was pretty happy with my office design and selections that you can see below.

SHOP THE LOOK:
Lulu & Georgia Desk/Dining Table and Cabinet | Loloi Area Rug | Malene Barnett x Lulu & Georgia Alaari Wallpaper | Hudson Valley Lighting's Fleming Chandelier | Hudson Valley Lighting's Berkshire Picture Light | Minted's Strong Women

Over the last couple weeks, which have been a whirlwind, the wallpaper has been installed which looks AMAZING. This was actually a feel-good moment because my home has been in chaos with flooring, painting, and a lot of my stuff being in boxes instead of everything being in its place the way I like it. For the next couple of weeks I'll be focused on getting all of the furniture installed into their final locations, window treatments which I am wayyyyyyy behind on thanks to lack of stock and materials, and the finishing touches such as art and decor. And keep in mind that the finishing touches come last in the process but are extremely important in creating a space that looks magazine ready and that feels good. I always believe that details matter the most and that gets amplified while tackling the finishing touches.
Thanks for reading! And don't forget to check out the blog posts of the other 19 ORC Featured Designers below!



This wallpaper is stunning! I love how the finishing touches are coming together for the office reveal. By the way, if you ever need to print large wall art for a project like this, you can easily create it at home with rasterbator—it’s perfect for making big poster collages from regular printer paper. Can’t wait to see the final room!
The wallpaper transformation sounds incredible—finally seeing it come together after all the chaos must feel so rewarding! Finishing touches really do make or break a space, and I love that you emphasize the details. Can’t wait to see the final reveal with the art and decor. Also, this whole renovation journey honestly feels like a cursed images situation at times, but in the best way possible!
Splitting the challenge between two rooms seems like a smart way to keep momentum, but I wonder if it also makes it harder to judge the final result. Would you recommend this approach to someone doing a room makeover for the first time?

I noticed the way you're bouncing between bedroom and office updates feels familiar. I tend to start two projects and then one stalls while the other gets all my attention. Seeing you document both fairly is making me rethink how I schedule my weekends.

Reading about your bedroom last week, then this office progress, makes me realize I try to redo too many rooms at once. Your week-by-week approach is convincing me to focus on one space at a time, even if it takes longer.
