Operation: Office Organization with Style + Dwell

I’m excited to share today’s post because I was able to wrangle Ashley and Lindsay, the organizing duo behind Style + Dwell, over to my house to help me make sense of my OC office/guestroom. This room is where I do all my blog work: writing, DIY-ing, styling, and photography. We also have a Murphy bed at the opposite end of the room so this room also functions as a guest space too. This space wears so many hats and there’s just one tiny closet. I have quite a collection of craft/office supplies, styling accessories, and guest accoutrements, and nowhere to store it all. I’ll wrap up one project and be onto the next, and without a dedicated place for everything, stuff just doesn’t get put away. The closet is overflowing, the desk is full of clutter and things are basically just shoved randomly on the Murphy Bed shelving! Below is a run down of the project. Make sure to scroll down to watch the VIDEO! BEFORE Right off the bat, Lindsay and Ashley had so many great ideas for this room. I was like, why didn’t I think of that!

On the coattails of yesterday’s big reveal, I wanted to breakdown what specific pieces we used to achieve the overall look. There were a few accessories that I DIY’ed myself, like the pink floor mirror, Ikat lumbar pillow, message board and indigo-dyed shams, but most everything else is shoppable. I also tried really hard only to include links to the EXACT accessories you see in the reveal. The only exceptions to this are a few of the DIY’ed pieces and the insanely gorgeous, one of a kind vintage rug from Woven Abode. In this case, I linked to the most similar rug available. Where to Find Everything: A. Murphy Bed | B. Tall Shelf | C. Gold Vase | D. Alarm Clock | E. Woven Basket | F. Shams (similar) | G. Sconce | H. Blue Printed Rug | I. Ikat Pillow (similar) | J. Coverlet K. Desk Lamp | L. White Baskets | M. Rolling Cart Desk | N. Desk Chair | O. Sheepskin | P. Vintage Rug (similar) Some affiliate links are included. Think this post is worth a read? Please share the love! And don’t forget to pin for later. Guestroom Office Makeover: Get the LookClick To Tweet Follow

Before & After: Creating a Small-Space Guestroom with method

See how we created a guestroom within our office using a murphy bed. Click for the full before & after! Baby Girl Francois is well on her way to taking over our current guestroom come February, and with 3 bedrooms in our home: our bedroom, my office/studio, and the soon-to-be-nursery, we had to figure out a way to accommodate overnight guests comfortably without resorting to our living room sofa (our only sofa) as the royal sleeping chambers. After much ‘what-the-heck-are-we-going-to-do-with-our-guest-bed-situation?‘ discussion, Ken and I concluded that our only real option was to add a bed to my current office and turn it into a multi-use space by re-configuring the layout. I tossed in the idea of doing a murphy bed, because I had one in my tiny first apartment post-college, and they’re such a smart space saver. The way it folds up into itself when not in use, giving me nearly the same amount of space in my office to work on large projects as I originally had, was just too tempting to pass up! It’s no secret that big projects like these can get messy: from parts and pieces scattered everywhere throughout the house to fugitive dust bunnies unearthing […]
