Room Decor

One of the reasons why I love fashion so much is that it allows me to be creative.  I’ve always been a very visual and “hands on” kind of person, so doing little projects, like revamping a new space, is one of my favorite things to do.  It allows me to create.  I could seriously get lost for hours in stores like Michaels, Target, Home Goods, etc.  As you’ve seen from a few of my previous posts, I’ve been working on creating my closet/office room for months.  I wasn’t able to do everything all at once, so I decided to focus on one section at a time.  The main thing that I still needed to get was a new chair and desk, and I’m happy to say that I finally got both!  I spend the majority of my time in this room, so I really wanted to create both an organized and inspiring place for me to be that also showcases my style and personality.  I also recently got one more storage unit that I have to finish setting up, so once that is complete I will do one last “room tour.”  But for now, I wanted to share my desk and chair along with some of my favorite room decor pieces!

I was searching for the perfect chair for months and couldn’t seem to find what I wanted.  Over 4th of July weekend I decided to stop by Marshalls and there it was in their home section.  It was the last one too, so I know it was waiting for me!  I needed something neutral that would go with the dark green carpet and floral curtains, so this one was really perfect. And it’s so comfortable. Isn’t she chic and classy? 🙂  The same day I went to Target on the hunt for a white desk (here).  There was only two left and it was on sale, so I snatched it up!  It’s clean and simple with one drawer, which is exactly what I wanted.  Plus, it gives me a ton of work space.

I’ve always been very big on motivational & inspirational quotes.  If you follow me on instagram, then you’ve probably seen me use a ton of different ones as captions for my photos.  I strongly believe that having the right mentality makes a huge difference in our lives.  Quotes are a great reminder to stay strong and positive during the times that we may feel weak.  A few months before my father got sick, we had talked about writing and publishing a book with our own quotes and inspiring messages.  Not many people knew this about him, but my father was an amazing writer, especially when it came to poetry.  He definitely passed down his love of writing to me.  I really wanted to fill up this space with very positive and powerful messages that could be a daily reminder to me. So you will see a lot of that in this post.
