Here it is finally, the office. This is where I spend a great deal of my time since I work from home. It's always a mess with papers scattered everywhere and I just got the curtains up on this side of the room recently. I finally did all the little finishing touches, so maybe I can get more done at work :)
My office is shared with the laundry room. It's one big room, one end is where I do the laundry and the other end is where I work. My washer and dryer are pretty quiet so it doesn't disturb me. My little sewing area is a built in desk with electrical outlets all built into the cabinets. I didn't want such a small place for my desk, so I got a desk with a little larger working space on top and put over on the other side of it.
Laundry Area
If you're wondering how they look combined, I took a full shot standing from my kitchen doorway. The little sewing area sort of divides the room. Those pictures above the sewing area of sea coral, I bought from Young House Love's shop. I got my inspiration from them to paint the brick walls in this room from the before and after photos of their den. I don't regret it for a second. It really opened the room up and makes it feel so inviting now.
Office/Laundry Room
It's come a long way from the way it looked the first time I saw it.
Office/Laundry Before
I'm so happy with the way this whole room turned out...
and to think, this was the room I liked the least when I first moved in the house.
Each room is really starting to feel like home and isn't that what it's all about?

Wow, what a difference! I love everything about your office/laundry/sewing room. Really. It has so much personality and character, and it so open and inviting! And I LOVE your rug. Can I ask where you got it?
Hi Chelsea,
Thanks so much.
I got the rug at Target. It is actually really good quality and has held up well. I've had it a couple of years.
It's so lovely! Great job, Jolie!
Thanks Amy! :) This room is about 75% done now. I still have to knock out that window next to the desk and put in french doors!
It does feel good to be in this room now.
Hi Jolie
Wow I love your house! Your office/ laundry is a dream room of mine! How great would it be to have a sewing machine near your laundry and computer. The bedroom looks so pretty as well, we definitely have similar taste. I can't wait to look at more of your home
Janice
I covet your sewing area! It looks so serene, like you have space and a view to sit and dream before you create!
Your laundry room/office transformation is amazing! I too, am a big fan of YHL and home before and afters. Congrats on being featured! We recently remodeled our bathroom - what a job that was! I am enjoying reading about your other home makeovers. I'll be sure to bookmark your blog. Nice to "meet" you!

I popped over from YHL. Great job! It looks like it should be in a magazine.
I found your room from YHL and I think you did an amazing job! We painted over wood paneling in our den and it made a world of difference. The room looks so bright and fresh now.
I am looking for bamboo shades for our kitchen. Do you like them? What style and color did you get?
Heather,
I love the bamboo shades, but I will say, if you are looking for complete privacy, they are a little transparent. So maybe not good for a bedroom or bathroom.
Here is the link to them. They are around $15. each.
