I am so excited to share our Navy Home Office Reveal!
I recently remodeled what was our kids’ playroom into a home office.
Now that our kids are getting older, a designated play area wasn’t really necessary, and my husband and I really needed a space to work.
I was excited to partner with The Home Depot on decorating this room, and every beautiful item was found online. I was able to find the perfect balance of some fun decor pieces that fit my more creative spirit while bringing in the more traditional look my husband prefers. I managed to persuade my husband that work doesn’t need to be boring and hung this gorgeous Hoppet Blue Folk Wallpaper. 
It instantly brought fun into the space.
We will be building a credenza on the wall behind the desk for my computer and storage, but we wanted a writing desk in the space and this Aldridge Antique Grey Desk is even more beautiful in person. 
It is simple but sophisticated – exactly what we wanted!
The Vintage Ellie Navy Rug softens up the flooring. It ties in the loveseat and works well with the wallpaper.
I am loving all things velvet, and this gorgeous Carlotta Emerald Velvet Club Chair is stately and so comfortable and the pop of green is perfect for the office.
Although I love them all, my favorite piece in the space is this Jack Navy Blue Tuxedo Loveseat. It is the perfect little sofa for an office, and the navy, tufted details and velvet make for the perfect piece of furniture. 
My husband always requests filing cabinets, but they are usually ugly. I was so excited when I discovered this Aldridge Antique Grey File Cabinet – beauty and form can exist! 
Our new home office came together thanks to gorgeous furniture pieces from The Home Depot! I ordered everything online, and it came right to my doorstep. Now that is the way to shop! 
Now it’s time to get to work…
Go create something!

Since moving into our home over three years ago, we planned to build a wall of bookshelves in the office. Meanwhile, all of our books were spread out through the house in closets and every nook and cranny we could put them in. It was nearly impossible to find anything.
Awhile back (while I was frustrated about having a book closet instead of a coat closet), I sketched up a plan.
It looked so normal on that piece of paper.
We debated DIYing some built-ins but ultimately decided to hand it over to a professional.
We hired a guy to build them, and he built most of the shelves in his workshop. He brought the shelves in and installed them in a day – the same day I was gone all day at the Indianapolis Home Show presenting.
I came home to these gorgeous but GIGANTIC bookshelves. I was slightly overwhelmed when I saw how large they are (you can

These wheels roll amazingly well on the carpet (check out the video at the end of this post).
There are also several types of wood to choose from (I selected the walnut):
Our ladder is a 7-foot ladder with a 108-inch rail.
The ladder was precut to size, but our rails came in (2) 6-foot sections. This way we were able to place the seam in the center of our bookshelves (instead of offset). We used a splice kit to connect the two rails (which is not noticeable at all). To cut the rails, we had a friend help us since cutting the aluminum required a metal fine-tooth blade.
I stained the ladder and my husband and I assembled it together which was a very simple project.
I stained the walnut ladder with a dark walnut stain. It brought out the wood grain and looks absolutely gorgeous.
My husband hung the rail for me while I was running around doing other things. CS Hardware provided great instructions, but hanging the rail did require some time and precision.
