You may have previously seen my blog post NEW YEAR, NEW #GIRLBOSS OFFICE SPACE . I had a personal goal of finishing within a certain time frame. Since last year, I have made a few additions! I decided to replace the antique vanity I had with a more modern white dream vanity with lighting – shown above!
I also decided to pull the white furry Pottery Barn chair out of the garage and get her recovered in charcoal gray faux fur and I love the way it turned out!
The office/makeup room is my happy place! One of my next big projects is cleaning out the garage by summer…so when I went outside to stare at it and see if the mess was still there…I realized that I had a fabulous yellow and pink vintage painting that my mom bought about 35 years ago! It was originally in our formal living room which was entirely white, except for a canary yellow jacquard sofa, I brought it into my office area of the room and it went perfectly! I love using things that are old family pieces!
I do also have a solid brass headboard that I may make into a guest futon/sofa thing…but I’m running out of room so we shall see!
The makeup vanity helps me out so much! The drawers are large enough to have everything organized and it really doesn’t get messy very often. The problem is that my pets – especially Blanca have decided they will argue over who gets to sit with me while I get ready. The know my routine, so the minute I get out of the shower, they are crowded together in my chair. Bella will whine until she gets a boost so it’s unnerving. I may decide to get a bench later so everyone can fit.
Below, you can see my desk, which I had to have so I could have a solid place all my own to work from. Bosscat Beauty is my new home based business that requires a lot of screen time right now since we primarily sell online and are working on bidding wholesale accounts and more product development.
This office/beauty room is my happy place where I can think, plan and build my life. It helps out so much to be able to have a spot to prepare for each day and focus on what I am working on at my desk or make as big a mess as I want to on my beauty table and it doesn’t bring me any unsolicited commentary from my husband. I’ve even been known to be in such a rush to get out the door, that I’ve left a half full coffee cup on my vanity until I get back home 10 hours later. Oh, the freedom! He doesn’t come in here so my personal shortcomings are not as obvious. In the rest of the house, inaction like that would require commentary!
I will share more updates to other areas soon!
