On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
We wanted to utilize every square inch of the house and pretty quickly we took on the project of fixing it up. We got new windows, a new french door, added laminate wood flooring and did a little paint job on the walls. It became my home office and used it for most of the year with the addition of a plug in heater.
Big difference, right? I love every little bit of it. Isn’t the desk chair amazing? It was a crazy craigslist score and my only regret is that I didn’t pick up the additional 3 chairs they were selling.
The room is on the long side and since we had a daybed that we moved out of the original office when it use to be in our second bedroom. We moved it down to the sunroom and it fit perfectly. It’s always been a nice spot for my boys to read in when I’m in there working.
I used a section of the wall to organize all of my fabric memos. I picked up kitchen rods from Ikea and clips from their curtain department.
One of most impactful pieces in the space is the massive bulletin board. It was a super easy and cheap DIY Homasote board project. I have made them time and time again. Clients love them and the large trim makes it look really fancy.
I’m a visual person and I good way for me to stay organized and on track with client projects is a clipboard wall. It’s a really inexpensive project and can be done in less than an hour. Once I had it up I assigned each client a clipboard and kept up to date with their punch lists, swatches, receipts, etc.
Of course my office needs to have an elephant or two. I don’t even want to count how many I actually have. Let’s just say that during the move there were many boxes labeled, elephants.
Thank you! We love it too. Sadly I couldn’t find a link for it anymore. It’s Hampton’s Bay and really old from Lowes. It was actually a steal for $70!! If you search for clear acrylic or lucite ceiling fans you should find some, but I couldn’t find an exact look a like.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
The time has come to finally share our new kitchen reveal. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, we bought a house right before the pandemic hit. It was a total gut job from top to bottom. We started our demo and then the world shut down. Enter the delays […]
Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
Where is your ceiling fan from, love how it disappears?
Thank you! We love it too. Sadly I couldn’t find a link for it anymore. It’s Hampton’s Bay and really old from Lowes. It was actually a steal for $70!! If you search for clear acrylic or lucite ceiling fans you should find some, but I couldn’t find an exact look a like.
Swoon !!!

It’s a Parson desk from West Elm.
I love that you incorporated the Hemnes daybed into the room! Been looking to redo our office with an optional guest bed.
