I am thrilled to be able to share with you guys the finished room/office that I did for my friend Jessica!
You ready?
Drum roll please…………………………….
Just so we can fully appreciate the transformation, shall we take a look at the original room?
Improvement?
I think YES!!!
Wait there’s more?
This room started out as a bedroom/office, which pretty much meant everything got stored in there. Jess wanted the room to be organized and usable.
So guess what we did?
(This is seriously my favorite part about the room)
Turned the closet into an office!
Don’t you just LOVE that idea?!!
Remember what it looked like before?
What a difference and a much better use of space!
By removing the door and adding a desk, you can set up your office right inside the closet!
Are you guys loving it as much as I am yet?
Jessica wanted a “beach-y” peaceful room. Doesn’t this bed look calm and inviting?
It’s been fun to see the room come together.
* We started with paint in THIS POST. The paint color is Allegheny Green by Dutch Boy and was EXACTLY what Jessica wanted.
* Next we took the paint to the closet and did the Tailfeather Allover stencil by Royal Design Studio. Refer to THIS POST for the details on that, as well as tips for stenciling. I love how delicate this stencil is! Absolutely perfect for what Jessica was going for.
* Then I did the board and batten – ALL BY MYSELF!
Yup just a simple housewife mom who had never used a miter saw or nail gun before. I found both the saw and gun on KSL and went to work. For my round-up of 10 different board and batten tutorials go HERE.
So if I can figure it out….so can you!
* The “Beach” planked sign tutorial can be found HERE.
So what do you think?
Let’s take one last look.
Thanks so much for following along with me on this room makeover. I hope it was worth the wait.

















This looks beautiful! What a fabulous transformation, I love the color of blue/green that you chose and the board and batten looks great. Nice work Tam!

Great room makeover! I love your walls.
ReplyDeletethat is beyond amazing!
ReplyDeleteUnbelievably brilliant. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThat room is spectacular, you're good girl and what an awesome room your friend Jessica got. The board and batten was excellent also, I'll be looking in on the tutorial for the techniques for that. Like to do something like that in our bedroom/bath. Would look really nice. You should be very proud of yourself as that room/office is incredible.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a lovely amke-over!

ReplyDeleteUh, Tam, can you come to my house?
ReplyDeleteNICE Tam! Such a GREAT room! And yes, I DO love the closet office as much as you do. Brilliant! :) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteDang Tam!! I would love for you to come and redecorate MY new house!! :) You are amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! What a different feel for that space, so open and peaceful. The open closet office is a really good idea. I may have to do that for our office/guest room.
ReplyDeleteLove it, girl. Your friend is lucky to have you. Wanna fly to my house and help me finish up my bedroom?! I can't motivate myself to finish it, LOL.
ReplyDeleteLOVED meeting you. You're adorable. (:
ps: Did you just re-design your blog or am I out of it? Love the clean look!
ReplyDeleteWow Tam, that is amazing! That desk space in the closet is such a great idea, and it turned out just beautiful. Love the whole thing! :)
ReplyDeleteWow what a difference! It is so much more inviting now! Love the office in the closet idea. It really opens up the room!
ReplyDeleteSo glad it finally came together!! It looks great and I love the colors you picked!!
ReplyDeleteTam!!! Wow :) This room is gorgeous! I have really been wanting to turn one of our closets into a desk/office space... I love how you did this one. The beach elements are beautiful, and not too "theme-y" haha, is that even a word?? It was so fun meeting you at SNAP... we actually have something for you that we never had a chance to give you. I'll have to mail it sometime :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous transformation. Well done!
ReplyDeletewhat an amazing space! i love the colors and those curtains!
