Office+Closet+Dressing Room Inspiration


office-closet-dressing-room

This is pretty much how my office/closet/dressing room looked for the first few months we lived in our new place ...as this photo was taken the day I wore this in mid February. And while the furniture is all in the same location {the office section is on the opposite side}, the rest of the room is in slightly better shape.

in my office + closet

However, it's not even close to finished yet. I still have to paint two narrow dressers white and find an ottoman for the middle of the room, finish organizing my accessory desk & wall and a few other details as well. I was going to buy a new desk but decided to just keep the one I have because it works {see it here in my old home office before/after} but I'm not sure if I'm going to leave it the way it is or paint it. In the meantime, here is some inspiration for what will be the girliest room in the house ...and for what it's worth, all mine ;)

God's Favorite Shoes! said...

I swear to God, (well not really)...I am going home right after work and dig out my cake dish and putting my shoes on display ! I love it. That image literally made my heart flutter! I mean flutter!

I so want to turn my extra bedroom into a shoe closet/office area...but I don't really need an office. I don't do sh&t worthy of an office except blogging!

Glamour Bbey. said...

Lovely inspiration!

Mallory said...

i spy carrie bradshaws closet in that mix :)

Pretty Little World said...

Isn't just like a breath of fresh air when everything gets straightened and pulled together? I'm absolutely loving the way you're doing your new house!!

The other pics are lovely as well - I'm kind of desperate to find a place to put that ostrich wallpaper.

Also, your captcha today is "restiest." I kind of like it - like it might define which person was the most rested :)

Maegan I LOVE this post. I was just looking for dressing room inspiration. These are some great photos.

Why does every woman want a zebra rug in their dressing room? :+) I want one too!! And the mirrored dressers are TDF!!!

Julie said...

Oh, all these photos make my heart happy!

JKreids said...

Carrie's closet!!

Thank you for confirming what I firmly believe - leggings CAN be worn as pants.

p.s. are those swimming goggles in the window sill in the first pic? you have EVERYTHING in there! ;)

besswess said...

The first pic, I was like "Holy eff that looks just like my room when I am getting ready to go out"!
Love the stacks of magazines. Great inpiration photos!

Lorena said...

Are you kidding.. ? "Slightly" better..... ?
WOW, seems like it is all in its place right now. No bag in the floor, unless of course you pushed them aside... ejem.. like I would.
I wish I had my closet to myself. I have to share with my husband :(

Couture Carrie said...

Hi gorgeous!

Totally inspirational post ~ loving all the walk-in closets!

...love Maegan said...

LOL JKReids! ...not swimming goggles ...a mask from a Cirque show a couple years ago.

Frances said...

I love the inspiration! I think an all white closet/dressing room/office is perfect for creating a calming environment. Then, you can always add in whatever color you want with your accessories. I already have mine planned out in my head.

starbox said...

I absolute adore your inspiration photos! I'd like to make something myself...its combination of grown-up woman who's still a girl inside. Great job! :)

Loving all the white!! The one room I was able to decorate was all white with sage accents. It felt like a heavenly cloud.

Maegan - your idea to do this inspired me months ago... http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-dream-to-studio-reality

Thanks for sharing! :)

Lila said...

I'm totally loving mirrored things right now because they're so feminine and elegant. I'm favoring the mirrored dresser and a glorious detailed mirror above a dresser in one of those fab pics!

So incredibly jealous of your closet/dressing room/office. The hubby had said I could do the same if we had acquired a house with four rooms, but alas, ours just has three. Love the direction you are going in the room though.
