I’ve finally unpacked our very last box, after moving into our new home here in South Carolina! My office was such a chore that I saved it for the last, ha! It’s summertime and we’ll be traveling and also having visitors so I needed this done ASAP. It was worth the wait though because I teamed up with Walmart again to focus on another space in my home. Today I’m sharing my new glam modern home office with hints of blush. Maybe this will inspire you to do update or refresh your home office for the summer! Switch out some pieces, some art, books, or candles. Let me show you!

Welcome to my office! Gracie is joining me today because….well…she can’t leave my side EVER!  Anyone else feeling my pain these days?

Since I’ve decided to share an office with Josh in this house, I gave him my old white desk and bought myself this new white and gold desk with drawers and I love it!

We won’t be showing you Josh’s side of the office because it’s nothing too exciting (just a plain white desk and office chair and computer) but I intend on doing some frame prints for him to match my side. His will not be feminine prints like mine but in these same frames I used and probably prints of golf courses he loves.

This gold and white adjustable rolling office chair is soooo comfortable and has that look I wanted.

Walmart had so many great office accessories like this pink MacBook laptop case, gold pencil holder, gold beaded candle holder (that I use as a coaster for my glass),a pretty glass case to hold paperclips and other things, and this candle jar-turned flower vase. I like to get creative and find other uses for items. Oh! And don’t forget the sparkly pens (here, here, and here)!

I like to keep this blush tassel tote full of my favorite books, scriptures, and notebooks so that I can take it with me to another room in the house easily or when I leave the house.

These étagère shelves (here and here) are some that I’ve wanted for a while but waited till we moved.  I love the shape of them and with all my nesting boxes (I’ve had them for 5 years), it holds all the things I want/need in my office in a decorative way.

Besides these shelves being practical, they’re great to also display decor. I used preserved roses, my favorite candles for the summer, wick trimmer, more candles-turned fresh flower vases, gold orb, designer books (like here, here, and here), and framed prints.

 

Ginger jars and flower stems just seem to a staple of mine in every room. I love having floral accents! My dresser is vintage but I found some really cute ones here and here on Walmart’s website. Dressers are another great way to store accessories, books, important papers, etc.

Ok friends, leave me a comment and let me know how you’re going to freshen up your office space this summer with Walmart! Not only did they have these fabulous items but they have so many great items from their new WOW & NOW section (in select stores) that went live on July 19th! They also have a fabulous section, the Summer Home Lookbook. Did you see my summer hangout spot I did for my teens? It’s a must-see! They eat breakfast and lunch there every single day…it’s the cutest!

Hope y’all are having the best summer! You can shop the items below!

The post Glam Modern Home Office With Blush Accents appeared first on Summer Adams.

We’ve been in our new home here in Vancouver, WA for almost a year now and I’m just now getting Brooklyn’s tween girl’s bedroom finished and posted. In blush, gold, and grey and with subtle bows in the design, this room is chic and modern enough but glam and vintage to give Brooklyn exactly the feel she wanted.

Back in Dallas, we gave Brooklyn her first tween bedroom makeover as she was growing from a young girl to a “tween-ager”. She wanted it to feel older but still have the little girl elements.

Before…

Now, she wants to leave some of those little girl touches and grow more towards a teenage girl room, switching out a few things here and there.

Tween Girl’s Bedroom in Blush Gold & Grey

Brooklyn actually chose the smallest bedroom in the house but she loved the location of it, facing the front. It’s a lovely way to wake up! Her large walk-in closet holds her dresser (shown in her last bedroom) and all of her clothes, shoes, and other things.

We got rid of the brass flower wall mirrors and single lamp and replaced them with this gorgeous pair of gold and ivory bow lamps from Perigold. I always find the prettiest things from Perigold’s online store! (Wait ’till you see what else I ordered from them as is on its way!) I fell in love with these lamps and really wanted them for my blush and gold office but knew they were a better fit in here. Brooklyn was thrilled.

We also painted her nightstands white to avoid too much grey, as her headboard was grey and so are the walls. (For wall paint color, click HERE.)
This is the Colette Bed from Restoration Hardware Baby & Child.

We kept these gorgeous paper wall flowers that were made for Brooklyn’s bedroom back in Dallas. Everyone loves them as much as we do.

Before the movers came to pack up our home in Dallas, I found this gorgeous new bedding for Brooklyn’s bed and threw it in one of the boxes, knowing it would be 6 months before getting to put it on her new bed.

The lumbar pillow with blush dots was found at HomeGoods and we decided we liked the bed best with that gold sequin gold bow pillow that she’s had.

It’s that perfect touch that says, “not a girl’s bedroom but not a teen’s bedroom”. So cute.

We tried one blush rug under her bead and didn’t love the look so we wen’t with white faux fur rugs on either side of the bed and it was perfect.

I made this 5-set of motivational wall art, framed in gold, for her last tween bedroom in Dallas (on Photoshop and with my Silhouette machine). She still loves them and wants to keep them a little longer so I was thrilled. If it wasn’t for that then I think I would have looked at an acrylic prints buy guide here to get her some bigger art for her walls. They look so tiny on these big walls it would have been good to get something to fill out the space a little more.

I had this chandelier in my office back in Dallas and Brooklyn wanted it for her room. It was a PBKids chandelier that I restrung myself with sparkly glass beads and then added gold glitter paint to the jute tassel and wrapping on the chandelier.

Of all the blush pink drapes we’ve tried, we finally went with this option because we liked it best.

I found this gorgeous sateen fabric at JoAnn’s Fabrics in “Rosewater” and sewed the edges, made a pocket for the curtain rod, and then kept it long enough to puddle on the floor. I love that look.

Girls White Vanity

Since she wanted her vanity out in her small bedroom, we put her dresser in the walk-in closet since it fit just fine. Funny thing…we actually wanted to get Brooklyn a new vanity for this bedroom BUT we couldn’t find the right one in our budget or made of real wood. So I fixed the drawers, gave it a new coat of paint and it’s lovely for now. The vintage mirror was a fabulous find back in Dallas and was actually in my last office. I love the detail of another gold bow in the room. We added some gold spray paint to the edges (my favorite spray paint is in this tutorial here) to brighten the dull gold and make it more modern. We did the same to this simple stool we found and then added padding and faux fur. I love the mix of modern and vintage pieces!

I’ll link everything from her bedroom below OR similar items!

The post Tween Girl’s Bedroom in Blush Gold & Grey appeared first on Summer Adams.

Today I’m excited to be joining a group of over 30 other talented bloggers who are also sharing a Fall Mantel or Vignette with you!  A special thanks to my friend Krista at The Happy Housie for hosting this tour and getting us all together.  I created a blush pink glam fall mantel for the season and can’t wait to share it with you!

Our television hangs over our living room fireplace.  I didn’t thing I’d want that again, as I’ve had in a previous home, but as it turns out…it’s been perfect.  However, when it comes to decorating a mantel for the changing seasons, it can sometimes be tricky and make my options different than if I’d had a beautiful large mirror instead.

No worries, though.  I’ve found a way to decorate around it.

On the left side of the television, I kept a tall brass vase for height and also because I wanted to incorporate some gold tones with the blush tones.  I’ve found some beautiful blush glass pumpkins (as well as gold and silver pumpkins) over the years.  I grabbed a couple of them and added them to my mantel.

I placed a faux green leaf stem as a swag, coming from one pumpkin.

I happened to have some live eucalyptus from last week’s floral arrangement and thought it would be pretty to mix them into the faux greenery swag and then add some faux white and blush rose stems.

On the opposite end…

Remember these?

I decided to grab 2 of the 3 candle holders with the DIY Fall Glam Candle Wreaths that I made a couple of weeks ago and shared with all of you.  I left one of them on my buffet with something else.  I’ll update you on that later.

Adding a couple of more pretty glass pumpkins gave this mantel even more of a glamorous feel.

I liked the idea of just decorating from the ends of the mantel and not going all the way across.

I want to save the heavier decorating of the mantel for Christmas and keep this lighter but festive for fall and just the perfect touch of blush and glam!  What do you think?

The post Blush Pink Glam Fall Mantel appeared first on Summer Adams.

Just a few months ago, we moved into our new home as it was finished being built.  As we’ve settled in and have finished organizing and decorating rooms I’ve been revealing them to you here, one by one. Today I’m taking you into a room that’s all my own, where I create and think and write and plan and dream.  Join me as I reveal to you my blush and gold glam office!

This upstairs office is just next to our master bedroom and the only space upstairs with the same flooring as our downstairs.

For interior paint colors and flooring information, please read this post.

I kept my long white desk that we had back in our Dallas home.  It’s from IKEA and I love it because it’s so long that I can work on a couple of projects at once.  I can sew on it if I want to or pull out my small sewing folding table. (Note: I think they only make this desk in black/brown now and not white but you could prime and paint it. It’s a great piece!)

I wish I could find one as long as it but with drawers.

Until then, I have a vintage piece that I keep next to my desk, full of office supplies and holds my printer.

I once had these mirrored candle wall sconces (found at Tuesday Morning a couple of years ago) and this pretty chandelier canvas art by Oliver Gal called “Candelabro” in our living room back in our home in Dallas.

I like the subtle grey of the art blending with the wall and the gold and blush tones.  It was perfect for this blush and gold glam office!

HOW TO HIDE CORDS:

One of the most frequent problems of any office is how to conceal the router and cords so that everything looks tidy and beautiful.  For a couple of months I searched for pretty boxes to hide them in, as this was the only way with the style of desk I have and not much to hide it behind.  I already have many pretty boxes in my office but they weren’t large enough to put everything in.  I decided to grab a $5 white IKEA file box and use blush paint and water to create an ombré watercolor design.  It’s simple and it matches.  All the cords go through the back hole of the box.

I made sure everything on my desk was blush, gold, and white and pretty to look at.

Blush pens, pretty mugs, coordinating portfolios, pretty notebooks, candles and accessories.
And of course…there’s my favorite bow chair.
I’ll link all of these things at the end of the post in my “shop the post” section.

Remember this set-up from my office back in Dallas?  This “Press For Diet Coke” framed buzzer is back.

All you need are the items below to make your own and also the words printed on a piece of paper that fits in the frame.  Click on items to shop.

It gets soooo bright in my office but I love my view with the big windows.  I get to watch all the horses run around on the beautiful property next to us and I get to see the most beautiful sunsets out the back window.  I love having a lot of natural light in my office.  I would hate for it to feel like a dungeon.

This is a popular IKEA hack.  The Vittsjö shelving system is inexpensive, can be sprayed gold, and is a beautiful way to store things.

I keep a lot of files in boxes, rather than a filing cabinet.  I like the way it looks and is a prettier way to store important documents.  It also takes up less space.

I styled the shelves with not only pretty boxes of important files but also with pieces that are new to my online shoppe.

A darling print from Megan Hess framed.

I have a lovely collection of fashion books that I also keep here.

I also display jewelry on the top and one of my favorite prints that a friend gave me, trimmed in gold glitter and in a mirrored frame.

FREE PRINTABLE JUST FOR YOU!

I wanted a way to display this Audrey Hepburn quote, that I’ve always loved, and created this darling print on photoshop.  I thought you all might enjoy it too so I’m offering it as a free printable.

***To access printable file, click HERE.  Click on image and print from browser.
It’s an 8×10 size.  For personal use only!!!***

My favorite blush chair (originally shared in this post) also came with us from Dallas.  I like to call this my “instafamous blush chair” because this Nate Berkus-designed chair caught his eye on my Instagram feed (back when my IG name was “SheLeavesALittleSparkle”) and he even included it in his blog post.  You can read all about it HERE on Nate Berkus’ blog.

At a California Interior Designer’s warehouse sale back home, I found that lovely venetian-bordered mirror with gold distressing.  It’s really unique and I love the glam feel of it.  I knew it would be perfect above my chair.

 When I’m typing or creating something, I usually sit in my favorite bow chair at my desk.

If I’m going to be writing or editing a while, I like to sit in my blush chair.  I also like it because it’s a place my kids can come, or my hubby, and sit and talk to me while I’m in my office.

I looked and looked for a chandelier that felt right for this office.  I wanted crystals on it, more modern clean lines, and brass or gold metal.  I found it here.

A couple of years ago I wrote a blog post on DIY Framed Wallpaper Panels as a solution to a bare wall.  We were renting at the time, back in Dallas, and knew we’d be moving for my husband’s job but I really loved wallpaper.  So I made framed wallpaper panels (so easy) and loved how it turned out.

I enjoyed them but was looking for something new for this new office.  I tried fashion art in a collage and I tried several large pieces of art but in the end….nothing seemed quite right.  I pulled out the panels from my “for sale” pile in my garage and fell in love with them again.  I love the champagne and blush colors with the gold frames.

I sold 2 other pieces of furniture that just didn’t fit this office and didn’t give me the storage solution I wanted for all my crafty things, customer orders, and shipping supplies.  But I came across this vintage dresser being sold locally on Craigslist and knew it would be perfect.

I painted it and sprayed the vintage handles gold instead of replacing them because I thought they were so cool. Aren’t they pretty?!

A treat for visitors…because macarons and chocolates are the best treats. Don’t you wish you could reach through the screen right now and have one?  I wish you could too.  If you were here in person, I’d even make you a Dirty Diet Coke!

I found these lovely etagere end tables at Tuesday Morning a couple of years ago but I’m linking similar ones below.  They’re perfect for the sides of my large office window to help frame the room and add extra storage.

In the other corner is a lamp for a little extra night on those late nights.
