Rhiannon's Girl Cave...(Made By Girl)

Welcome back everyone!! Did you all have a great weekend? Mine went ok.... a couple of mishaps but as always, we get through these things. 

Today, I'm so excited to bring you a VERY long post showcasing a pretty little office from Rhiannon - (who's a full time wedding stylist, planner & blogger at Hey Gorgeous!) 

She's currently renting but managed to put together a gorgeous office space she calls 'GIRL CAVE' in her apartment!  

Here she is describing the office in her own words:

I'm a full time wedding stylist, planner and blogger so I spend a lot of time looking at pretty things from the comfort of my own home. Not a bad gig huh? The only problem is, when you don't have a designated work space that's inspirational to you and your job, working from home makes it painfully hard to stay on task. 
 


So even though my husband and I are renting a small two bedroom apartment in Michigan (while we find the perfect lot to build our first home on!) and we're limited on what we can do with our awkwardly spaced floorplan, I got right to work doing the best I could to transform our second bedroom into an office. Thankfully I MARRIED a guy who doesn't mind painting pink walls, right?


BEFORE:








After shopping around for furniture (how have I never even had my own desk?!), adding a few coats of paint, a trip to IKEA and combining my collection of vintage treasures, I morphed this room into an inspirational work space that has quickly turned into one of my most favorite places to be. 

And one which is now lovingly called the 'girl cave' by my clients, friends and family. 












I've since traded out the blue nail head chair for two armless, purple-gray velvet versions so I can now welcome couples and clients into my home for consults and meetings but from 9 - 5 there's no where else I'd rather be than in the girl cave; with my furry assistant, Chenks, my fur baby of 12 years. We both think that every creative chick should have a cave of her own!
