Leopard Print Office Make Over

Good Evening Friends!

I hope you’re well and having a lovely week so far, I also hope that after last weeks post you swiftly ran out to the paint shop to leopard print your walls? I’m sitting watching my inbox waiting for your pictures as we speak :p This week, (finally) as promised I wanted to give you a glimpse at our new office since it’s all finished and I’m basking in it’s beauty every day. I feel so lucky to get to work somewhere that I love.

The Office Make Over

As I mentioned last week, when we moved in, we threw some white paint on the walls and got on with it. I honestly didn’t imagine that we’d ever bother to make it any nicer as I didn’t really see the importance of it. In hindsight I now get that it’s SO important to create a space that you enjoy spending time in. I wouldn’t hesitate to make my home feel nice and I’m in the lucky position to be able to do that for my workspace as well. Being in a room that you enjoy makes you actually want to be there, obviously I would go there to work anyway as I need to but there’s a huge attitude shift between needing to be somewhere and wanting to be somewhere. Anyway, I’ll stop explaining and just show you round!…

Ad | Gifted

West Elm kindly gifted me some of the furniture for the office, I absolute adore their style and pieces so i’m extremely grateful to them for helping me create a workspace that I LOVE.

(A few other bits were gifted too – I’ve only included items I honestly love and will mark all as ‘Gifted’ for clarity)

Some of the links in this post are affiliate links – this doesn’t impact the price you pay it just means I might earn some commission if you buy it based on my recommendation

I literally could not be happier. LOOK AT MY OFFICE!

Of course Harry loves it too….(deep down)

Let’s take a closer look

So basically we started with a super plain and boring room, here’s some before shots…

I know, Noice.

Where To Start?

Well, as I mentioned last week, we started with the Leopard Print Wall. Once that was done we put the gallery wall up and then got all the beautiful West Elm furniture in. I kind of naturally lent to a pink and white theme and then the leopard print encouraged this incredible flash of orange and dark grey….

Helen helped me with the gallery wall as she isn’t afraid of a nail and hammer whereas i’d stand looking at the wall for hours before making a move so I left it up to her. I have previously done a post about our gallery wall at home which I mentioned in the post.

Now can we talk about West Elm?

The West Elm delivery left me giddy, everything is so beautiful and I can’t tell you how much I love the bloody rug. Online I thought ‘that’s nice, I think it’ll work’, in real life I thought ‘can I divorce my husband and marry this rug?’
