I’m back today with an update on our home office One Room Challenge makeover. We are halfway through this challenge and this week I actually did get a bit nervous.
You see this is the current state of our home office. 😳
The real desk is almost ready to come back in, but for now we still need a place to work on the computer so I set up this little table. The new and improved bookshelf is in it’s new home and I even managed to get the printer in place.
But, honestly, that’s it. 🙁
I have done a little shopping around, but no buying. I stumbled upon these two beauties at Marshall’s the other day.
But, I’m afraid neither of them match or even blend very well with everything else in the design. Which is a big fat bummer because they were on clearance. So, who knows what I’m going to do for a chair.
Here’s my sad little punch list progress.
*paint furniture (almost done)
*organize computer hardware
*organize other desk stuff (which will include purchasing new organizational containers and such)
*create an inspiration board
*find new desk chair
*accessorize and fluff
Wow…that’s worse than I thought. I technically can’t cross a single thing off! Makes me want to add in a couple of things, just so I can cross something off! Oh, come on, you know you do it too!
Ok, well, that’s really it for today. I guess I should go and get to work! It’s Fall Break for my kiddos, so I’ll see you back here next week!

It will all come together Denise, especially once you bring your desk back in! You are moving right along!
Thanks Lisa! You are so sweet 🙂 We are getting there!
I’ll all for adding things so I can cross them off! And that bookcase is so cute now. It’s going to look great in the room!
Thanks Melissa!!
can’t wait to see it with the desk – love the blues!
Thanks Cassie!! It’s coming together 🙂
I totally add things to the list just so I can cross them off 🙂 No shame there! Things will all come together! I think these middle weeks are the hardest because everything seems undecided and torn apart. I love how your bookcase is coming along!
Thanks for the encouragement Emily. Feeling much better about things today!!
We were eyeing some similar desk chairs at our Marshall’s, but I finally found a chair that will work for us today!.. Yours will come together too! This deadline can be stressful, though! HA! Can’t wait to see the finished room!
Yay! Glad you found something! Thanks Julie for the encouragement, feeling a little better today 🙂
Love the baltic blue desk chair, so chic. Its going to be so swoomworthy at the reveal.

Thanks Maria! Hoping it all comes together 🙂
I love how you backed the shelves, sooo cute! Can’t wait to see how the room turns out!
Thanks so much Nicki!
love the shelf backing!! can’t wait to see more next week!
Thanks Sarah!!
Those shelves are the cutest! And I’m just the same – if I do it, I add it to the list just to cross it off! It feels like a mini victory!! Can’t wait to see the big reveal!
Aw thanks so much Jen!! Here’s to mini victories!
It’ll come together! I feel like this is the hardest week because nothing is quite done yet and the list of things to accomplish is still SO long!
The middle really is the hardest!! Thanks for the encouragement Amanda! 🙂
I feel your pain, girl! You’ll get it done… The pressure is on and I’m sure you’ll make it happen! I’ve been sick for a week now… Haven’t gotten much done myself, but haven’t lost hope yet 😉
Yuck, so sorry you’ve been sick! Feeling a little better about everything now, just needed to breathe for a minute 😉
Those chairs are so cute, hate when clearance finds don’t work for a space! You’ll find something 🙂
Right?!? Thanks Meg!
The shelves look great! Can’t wait to see how everything comes together!
Thanks so much Erin!
The bookcase looks great updated!
Thanks Ruthie!
