One Room Challenge Home Office Makeover: Week 1 The Design

October 11, 2020 by Tamara Anguiano 1 Comment

I hope all is well with everyone and that you’re staying safe and healthy in these crazy times. Before we get started, let’s give a shout out to all the awesome participants and guest participants for this Fall ORC. You can check them out here on the ORC website. For this One Room Challenge, I have decided to redesign my home office. To start off week 1, I figured I would take you behind the scenes of the design planning process, and show you my ideas for the space. With us having to be stuck at home, one needs some inspiration to spice up their new work area am I right?

The Home Office Design

So here is a before pictures of the room to work with. Sorry guys, pardon the mess. We currently have the space as a mini living room. It’s about 10′ x 9′ room with one window facing the front of the house. I had the room painted awhile back before it was a dark beige color. It’s a small space so I’m glad I went with a light and bright off white with warm undertones for the wall. I used the same color that we have going throughout the house which is creamy by Sherwin Williams. This really brightens up space and even makes it feel bigger. There is a big 6ft window so that brings in tons of natural light.


So let us get into the design. When I look at the space I note down the needs of the space. I need storage and lots of it. A desk that’s durable and sturdy. Also, a place to showcase and hang design inspirations. The design style I am going for is a mix of rustic, industrial, and contemporary.

The Color Palette

I wanted the space to have a calm yet sophisticated feel so I stayed with warm neutrals as my base color palette. There will also be a pop of gold brass sprinkled throughout the space with accessories.

Home Office Design Explained


After some tinkering here is the design board that I came up with for my space. As you can see there is the statement piece that is against the wall, this will solve my storage problem. It is a bookcase and desk unit. I like this because I will be able to use this to have my desktop at, which will free up the center desk for sketching or having more space for client interactions. At the moment I’m still thinking of using my dining table as the center desk. I really want to make this desk but due to COVID, we will have to be creative with what we got. Plus let’s be honest there honestly won’t be any family gathering in the near future, and we use the kitchen island to eat at anyway, so no harm no foul. For the wall display, I will be using cork boards that purchased from hobby lobby a while back. The desk chairs will be the dining chairs that I had as well. So frankly, the only pieces that I will outsource will be the rug from Wayfair, the shelves from IKEA, and the barn door hardware from Amazon. Maybe some accessories from Target. Everything Purchased is curbside or delivered. Gotta practice that social distancing. My only DIY is the barn doors.


So here is the preliminary plan. I can’t wait to get started on the space. Be sure to check out the ORC featured designers and guest participants in there designing and creating process here.

Yup I know I have been gone for a hot minute. Well Yup I know I have been gone for a hot minute. Well from starting interior design school, finding out I’m prego, and trying to finish a ton of orders. It’s been a doozy for sure. Im so glad and grateful that I have patient (I mean very patient) clients. 🥰I’m a bit nervous for the challenges to come but I’m super excited to take them on.  So here is my first drafting sketch of a floor plan and I hope to show you guys more content to come. For any aspiring interior designer feel free to ask me questions as I continue this course and others. P.s. I do have a ton of furniture build plans I need to work on so hopefully I get get them on the blog slowly but surely. #drafting #interiordesign #pregnancyannouncement #woodworking #satxbloggers #artinstitutesanantonio #floorplans #goals
The beast is done. Tv console/ doggie kennel. Firs The beast is done. Tv console/ doggie kennel. First time and I think it came out pretty good, what you think?  Maybe some plans?  My mom is thinking she wants a side table version for her little beast. That could be interesting.  On a side note, do you have a fur baby? I am in love with my little trouble maker “Max”. He is a shiba inu with a crazy ton of personality. Tell me about your doggie 🐶 😉😊#woodworking #diy #doggiekennel #diydogkennel #shebuilds #shibainu #femalewoodworkers #cuttingrebar #rusticdecor #industrialrustic #tuesdayfun #carpentry #satxblogger #satxcarpenter #furbaby🐶 #woodworker🔨
Bet you guys thought all I do is woodworking and d Bet you guys thought all I do is woodworking and design boards. Nope, there are actually a few things I do, and paper mache is one of them. I can't get my son to stop playing around with these. Aren't they cool. I freaking love Halloween, and Halloween decor is still home decor. I got a few more coming out can't wait to see how they turn out. ⠀

But the part I remember most is that the client wanted a natural pine stain rather than dark. That was fun trying to sand down the tops. As for the bottom I just ended up replace them.

In this day in age, it's hard not to get mixed up in comparing your self with others and trying to be some you are not.⠀
⠀
Stay true and be you. What the fun in life if you can't be yourself. Love yourself. And never stray away from being who you truly are. ⠀
⠀
I love being corky, weird, boyish, girlie, confident/ not, being a creator/ artisan, a hard worker, and having a military sense of humor. ⠀

What do you love about yourself?⠀

I hope you guys enjoyed your Labor Day weekend. Up I hope you guys enjoyed your Labor Day weekend. Update: So the plans are done and I love how they came out. To check out the full version head to the blog where I stash all my free furniture plans at. If you haven't seen the finished product, scroll down a little on the feed and you will be able to spot it. This design is with faux drawers because I did not need any more areas to put crap in and hide. My poor kitchen cabinets already do all of the heavy hiding and are probably stuffed to the max. Anyway, I digress. So the drawers are basically for show. If your wondering were I got the hardware, @hobbylobby never disappoints. ⠀
