Chinoiserie Chic: reveal

Today is the finale of this edition of the One Room Challenge. I hope you enjoy the reveal of my office. My goal was to turn my traditional red library into a bright, airy, glamorous, and girly workspace for myself. To start from the beginning of this makeover, Click Here.

A huge thank you to Linda of Calling it Home for inviting me to participate.

I had not shared with you that my goal was to spend under $1,000 total as a little challenge to myself.

Here is what I spent -

$260 - paint and professional painting
$240 - gold zebra rug (after sponsor credit from Wayfair)
$30 - frames
$20 - materials to gold leaf desk
$60 - desk accessories
$290 - custom roman shade
$25 - Nate Berkus pillow from Target
$15 - hanging files
$18 - roses from Costco

TOTAL = $958

There is enough left for a very nice bottle of wine to celebrate.

This was made possible in part by the participation of One Room Challenge sponsors -

Pair of peony botanical photographs from The Pink Pagoda
Black and white framed photograph from Minted
Gold zebra cowhide rug from Wayfair
Cream and gold magazine holder from Jayes

Everything else was items I had already in my home. I just went shopping in my own home for free.

The gold leaf desk is an Ikea Vittsjo desk that I gold leafed myself with $20 in materials from Michaels and an hour of my labor. All the details here.
