Office Makeover!

My mom and I decorated her office this summer because it was in desperate need of some help. I wish I had before pics because although it had good "bones" the furniture and decor was literally straight from my grandma's house. We kept the paint, crown molding and carpet. Here is the end result. (These pictures didn't turn out super great,I think it actually looks better in person)

My mom is a marriage and family therapist so we wanted her office to feel kind of "spa like" and relaxing while still being a waiting room. We used kind of an olivey sage green, steel blue and a buttery cream, and paired it with dark wood.

This style is more modern than what we are used to but I think it turned out great. We had so much fun doing it and got some great deals. Who knew TJ Maxx and Shopko would be the place for accessories!
