You’ve seen bits and pieces of it …you saw the decor details, you were there when I completely renovated my tall ikea dressers & DIY’d the black tassels to my silk curtains, when I organized my jewelry & accessories in the antique secretary desk, when I renovated my Grandma’s antique lamps and hung the wall hooks behind the door, when I DIY’d my inspiration cork tile wall, and when I finally cleaned & organized my closet.
But yes, I’ve dragged my feet on photographing and sharing my COMPLETE home office/dressing room with you because to me, it’s not finished yet …but I’ve been saying that for months now which leaves me with one conclusion: it will never be finished because I am a freak.
I’ve come to terms with it and decided to share …today.
So please enjoy my ultra-feminine home office and dressing room tour.
BUT FIRST: Remember what it looked like before, just thrown together…
And now…
How does it compare to when we first moved in & the inspiration post I created for it?
Product info: besides the few antiques, it’s almost completely Ikea!
* Ikea 6×6′ Expedit with attached desk …two cubby doors and three sets of cubby drawers
* White chair on opposite side of my desk is the Panton Chair from Design Within Reach
* Office chair is Aeron Chair which I’ve had for almost a decade now.
* Round zebra rug is by NuLoom and I got it at GILT. It was the very first thing I bought for this house.
* Three short Ikea dressers side by side were in our master bedroom in our old condo. We’ve had them for almost as long as we’ve been together.
* Two side narrow dressers were also from Ikea and were birch with ugly handles. I painted them and added the lion’s head pulls. We’ve also had these forever, one of each was in both of our closets at the old place.
* Pink crocodile studded ottoman {where I sit to put my shoes on} is actually from Lamps Plus, a random find for $75 when I bought the black lamp shades but it’s only $49 now!
* Bench/storage under the large window was actually free …drollgirl and I found a few behind the building of the gallery and we snatched them up …and by behind the building I mean, in the trash 😉
* White Silk curtains are from Bed Bath and Beyond {I added the tassels} and the Confetti System works as a window treatment for the smaller, higher window {and flutters in the breeze, which I just love}.
* This antique secretary desk was my Grandma’s and was hand-painted by my Grandpa in the 60’s. She always had it in her entryway with her checkbooks and pens but I actually keep all my jewelry & accessories in it …and much of it was hers.
And just in case you couldn’t really get a feel for the space from the photos {it’s really difficult to photograph it well}, I made a little video tour for you as well. Enjoy.

The rooms looks great! The ikea desk and shelving is just what I’ve been looking for our office. I love the vintage secretary desk-great storage idea too!

This is such an inspiring space! It has a great airy feel, and the antique secretary is the loveliest touch. The made-over ikea dressers with the lion’s head pulls are just brilliant.

Super cute office! Just from my interpretation – you’re a very busy girl with 1,000 things going on at the same time and you like to keep it that way. It’s great eye candy while working. Great post!

I love this room!!! It no wonder you spend the majority of your time here. I would also. Nothing like being surrounded with all the things you love. And…I’ve bookmarked this post so I can share it with my husband. I may not have you in Missouri to help me decorate but the desk would work perfect in our office. I think it’s a must have. 🙂

Maegan, I love you a lot… but one thing that bothers me is that you use real animal skins, as well as that rabbit’s foot in your purse … You’re so angelic that it looks like it does not suit you.
As a public person, I think you could encourage the use of fake fur, to end this senseless violence against animals …
But I still love you, and hoping that soon you get an awareness of the environment and animals.
P. S. Yes, I’m vegetarian.
