Mood Board to Real Life - My Sister's Office


Remember a few years ago I did a post about a mood board I had created for my sister Candace and her home office? Well, shortly after that she finished off the space, and now today, 1 year and 11 months later, I'm excited to show it to you! #procrastination #oops

If you've ever caught a glimpse of her house on social media ( Instagram, Snapchat or Facebook) then you know you are in for a big treat today!

Alright, let's get started....


Years ago Candace and her husband, Jimmy had all interior doors painted Wrought Iron 2124-10 by Benjamin Moore. It's a fun touch throughout the house but is especially nice in this room as the color goes so nicely with the palette in the home office. 

As you walk in, the wall to the right is where all of the magic happens! She purchased two identical desks, one that she works at with her computer and the other that she sat against the back wall with flanking bookshelves. 


The bookshelves are filled to the brim with fun! From books and plants to a painting of a Westie that looks very similar to their dog daughter - Piper! Candace used a service called Print Studio App to print out instagram photos and strung two rows of them between the two bookshelves. 


This room sits at the front of the house and has great natural light thanks to a giant window looking out at the front yard. The walls were painted Feather Down 953 by Benjamin Moore, so the majority of the color and personality comes from the decor, making this space happy, yet visually calm. Plus, should they ever choose to move, this room will easily convert back to a guest bedroom. 



The below photo shows you the room from Piper's vantage point. She has her very own desk  bed in the room so she can hang out with her Mom during the day. 


Across the way is a little seating area, and for those of you that are familiar with S T I R | FASHION, Candace's on-line resale shop, all photos of the clothes are taken on the wall with the pink hanger! 


I love the grouping of gold frames and accessories above the chair. Each frame holds an inspirational quote or saying which is always a nice thing to have around in the midst a busy/stressful work day. 


This room is easily one of the happiest rooms you will walk into. The bright colors and crisp decor make this space the ideal atmosphere to be productive and inspired at the same time AND THAT my friends is what you call a well rounded room! :)
