Office Space | Warrenton, Virginia Wedding Photographer

Office Space | Warrenton, Virginia Wedding Photographer

You know, I have lived in my home for almost a year and still have yet to share what I did with my office space! I finished decorating it back in April and never shared the results on the blog. Whoops! I’m FINALLY excited to share another room in my home. 🙂 It’s smaller compared to my last office, but I actually like the coziness! It’s perfect for my meeting space, suitable for a seating area and desk work zone. Plus, it’s located on the bottom floor so my couples don’t have to go through my kitchen or private space AND there’s a half bath across the hallway, making it super convenient to visitors. I feel in love with the window light and the french doors.

Before moving in any furniture, I did a few things to dress up the room. First, I painted the room a creamy champagne tone because I still wanted the light to bounce beautifully off the walls. I pulled out some wood projects and trimmed the windows. You’ll notice below that I initially put up taller wood trim above the window, but soon realized if I ever want to install crown molding, I wouldn’t have enough room. Glad I caught that, but I think the taller wood trim hinted the illusion of a taller ceiling. Regardless, I stuck to the thinner wood trim and then I painted it white after I installed the board and batten style wood work around the room. It was almost time to move in furniture!!! 🙂 I had an electrician install a little chandelier and then I changed out the door knobs from the builder grade to crystal door knobs for a classier touch. Here are a few photos before I officially moved in!

It was so nice to finally move in! I kept my design as simplistic as I could since I was basically cutting my old office space in half. It’s cozy, bright, fresh and classy. Check out the results from my hard work earlier this spring!
