You definately created the look you were looking for, great job, it's fabulous! Just a thought-have you thought about adding some molding to the top of the bookshelf that your husband built to give it a more built in look? Again, it looks great!!

I love your blog.

This is an amazing office space! It looks like the perfect place to be inspired, get work done, and be organized at the same time. I am very jealous!
P.S. the wallpaper is fantastic!
simply wonderful! i'm totally inspired to change my home office now! start a new year with a new space is all we need! i loved the wallpaper!
jen, would you recommend nice stores related to decor in nyc? i'll be there next month for the first time and would love to buy some different things to my house!
Looks fantastic! So pretty & fresh looking. Great job Jen!
I love it!! It's so fresh and such an inspirational space. Clutter-free. The wallpaper looks amazing! Everything does...the built-in bookcase is a great idea. Makes me want a home office even more. Great job!!! xo
I love it! So clean and stylish. Enjoy your new space.
Luv it to pieces! So crisp, bright, & sharp~ Go Jen!
Oh my goodness!It looks so refreshing and great and inspiring. great job!
THAIS:
A couple places I'd recommend in NYC are Brocade home (www.brocadehome.com), Marimekko (www.kiitosmarimekko.com) & ABC Carpet & Home (http://www.abchome.com)
Hope this helps! Have fun in NY....! :)))
Jen, it looks so different and is absolutely gorgeous! I loved the wallpaper and the flowers... I love fresh flowers!!!!!
AMAZING! What an inspiring space to work in. Stunning. It must feel so so so good to work in there.
Can I ask what printer you use? Do you use it to print your cards? I want a really good printer and am so confused. I am sick of my mediocre printer. xx
CHANTELLE:
That's an HPC5180 all in one printer. It's pretty good...but no, that is not what i use for my cards. I have a commercial printer for the cards and sometimes I source it out, depends on quantity.
:)
QUE COISA MAIS LINDAAAAAAAA!!!AMEIII
simply gorgeous! love, love, love your new home office to bits. and i absolutely love your blog too- so inspiring!

Lovin it! there must be good West Elm karma out there b/c I just bought the white parsons desk today!

Great moodboard and wallpaper! Love it! I'm working on mine at the moment too... it is mostly black and white and French/antiquey. It always comes down to how well you can hide those computer cords - you've done well!
wow! your office looks fantastic! so bright and light...i feel inspired to make-over my own now :)
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS JEN!!!! BEAUTIFUL and looking at the 63 other comments lol you already know that!!! You did a MAGNIFICANT JOB! Can your husband hook up with my husband and teach him how to be FIX IT PERFECT! I need a bookshelf wall unit ASAP. YOU GO GIRL!

ANNA:
Thank you! I know....it was done faster than I thought it was going to be. I sort of had to be on top of things making sure my husband didn't stray onto other things...but he was pretty good about it. hehe
WOLF AND WILLOW:
The computer cords were a bit of a challenge...but we got some handy white ones from Office Depot. There were lots of cords..so it makes a HUGE difference to not see them. :))
LD:
I really like the WEST ELM desks...they are the perfect size and they look so spacious and clean! Gives any space a modern feel right away... :) I say go for it, you'll love it. They are on sale online from what i saw today.

My favorite: the bookshelf. We all should have a handy husband :)
so lovely - particular favorites include...the bookends,the wallpaper and the markers (i have a weird thing for stationary - always have!)
It looks gorgeous, love the wallpaper!
I always think that your home looks so bright, cheerful, and welcoming!! Everything about it is gorgeous. And that "life is too short..." thing on your inspiration board--LOL! :)
Jen - it looks fabulous you must be delighted.
Despite what a headache wallpaper is to put up , the end result is so worth it!
Only wonderful things can come from that gorgeous space! x
It looks so clean and chic Jen, I love that wallpaper it really does something for me haha.
Jen, it's just gorgeous! So lovely bright and calming, a beautiful workspace.

I looove your new home office!!! It's simply stunning. I hope that you don't mind that I mentioned about it on my blog :)
http://goldcage.blogspot.com/2010/02/amazing-diy-home-office-renovation.html
It looks bright, fresh and relaxing. Great space to start from a clean slate. The wallpaper is outstanding! I ♡ It
Any ideas for small Office/Guest rooms?
I LOVE IT!!!! It's so clean & calm & happy feeling!That wallpaper looks amazing! And I love anything by westl elm!They ought to show your room on the site to give people ideas on how to decorate a room.I love your room so much more now.Can I visit? :)
looks fabulous. love the wallpaper & how airy everything looks!
love love love the wallpaper. Esp w/ the splash of pink tulips! I tried to click on the pixelimpress business cards... those are great. The link doesn't seem to be working. where can I find them?
It looks gorgeous. I just can't get over the wallpaper.
The wallpaper is divine...and I love having two mirror desk spaces. Great job!
Looks beautiful! What a fresh and happy place to work everyday. I love that wallpaper.
What a beautiful job! I love that your husband made the shelves and you got the perfect desk (I like that it's done like a partner's desk).
And, of course, the antlers are a nice touch.
p.s. I was generously gifted with a blog award yesterday? Still not entirely sure what that means but I am a sucker for flattery so I decided to do as I am told and pass it along. To you! Yay! head on over if you want it! xoxo
Simply gorgeous!
I LOVE the color palette and the wall paper - soothing and a little funky and sophisticated all at the same time. Awesome!
Wow! I love it. So clean and crisp, yet it still has a ton of personality.
Oh, it's perfect!!
You really nailed it! Great job, sooo pretty! I just love the carpet, I just want to put my feet on it, and i think it's a really great idea for the office with a carpet like that. To get the room more quiet. I wish I could find your type of furniture here in Sweden, it might be difficult, but you are a true inspiration Jen! :)
It looks very light and bright!
Amazing! Breathtaking, organized and beautiful!
it's gorgeous in a 100 ways. So light and airy! Such attention to details and most importantly lots of space to grow (shelves and such). Love it!
i love the new office!! must feel great to work in there! (:
Hello , Arno from Hudson paint
I think your office needs a color chalkboard
may Genius pink genius our deep fushia or so stone a strong grey , on the back of the shelves ?
Any way if you like the idea we will send you a can for free as a thankyou note for generating traffic for us
just give us an e mail through our web site
Arno
jen, this is awesome! fresh is the word that comes to mind. i love the pops of blue and pink, but the antlers are my favorite touch. glad you liked the cards. pam
It is perfect! I'm now inspired to change my office/Olivia's playroom into something a bit more inspiring.

Hi Jen!
I´m from Brazil (Rio de Janeiro) and i really love your blog!
Your office was beatiful and i was wondering if it could be better..
Now, i´m shocked! Amazing!Congrats!!
I´m starting my own blog and yours it´s a inspiration every day.
XoXo
Wow, that was actually pretty quick if you ask me!
I love all the white with spots of bright, happy colors. Very clean. Did you lose some storage space, or just store everything more efficiently with the renovation?
P.S. love the turquoise book ends.
I absolutely LOVE your new office - so fresh, so clean, so calming!!! I'm just in the Inspiration Board stage but plan to totally redecorate my home office very soon :) Thanks for the ideas!! xo
OMG it look soo great! I bet your are just too excited! I cant wait to see how this space inspires you!

ADORE - LOVE - FAB!!! You have done your job, I'm inspired!

Now this is a space to get some wonderful work done!! Enjoy it. Janell
it looks fabulous jenny, exactly what was expected!
I loved your office look before and did wonder why on earth you'd want to change it, however, having seen the re vamp I am incredibly jealous and understand why you did it.
It's so bright and clean looking which is always a great working environment and that wallpaper....gorgeous!
I'm also loving your business cards, the design is great but it's nice to see something other than rectangular.
You have chosen great colours, so feminine and elegant... The only thing I don't like it's the business card, this font... big NO
love the result
it looks amazing
I like the white furniture and the wallpaper
and the windows made the room bright and refreshing
good job Jen
BEE DESIGNS: Yea, I guess I was tired of the same ol' rectangular look for business cards. Maybe another time i'll go back to Rectangular...for now, I'm so happy with the square choice i made. :)
Have a great weekend!oxox
Your office is gorgeous Jen! What an awesome place for you to work and be creative. Love the markers and your inspiration board!!!

Adorei!
Beutiful. I love it.
He creado un post en mi blog con tu nueva oficina. Espero que no te moleste. Por supuesto, he puesto un link a tu página. Gracias y felicidades por el buen gusto.
It turned out beautifully Jen!! Love the desks!
Greetings from Bali :)
http://annaelizabethpoole.blogspot.com/
Jen,
This is absolutely stellar! I have the same mesh steel office organizer (from IKEA?), you should totally spray paint them! (I did mine in a bright bumblebee yellow, but you could do white or the calming blue shade that matches your curtains!)
http://www.prettyshinysparkly.com/a-diy-office-makeover-accessories-mirror/
P.S. You're on my blogroll, been following you for quite some time! Keep up the lovely work!
Wish you could come by my place and make it look so chic! Awesome job.
