Black and White Farmhouse Inspired Office

interior designed home office decorating plansAll week last week during the 6 Days of Spring, I shared bits and pieces of my moodboard for an interior designed farmhouse inspired office makeover. I was inspired by black and white spaces, and even though there’s a bit of my beloved aqua here and there, the main scheme is turning it into a black & white beauty. I’m all about pulling together mood boards to make sure that it’s all going to look good together, and I thought I’d share my Black & White Farmhouse Inspired Office.

 
Interior Designed Black and White Farmhouse Inspired Office Moodboard
 
wall paint, paint chips, interior design, painting, interior paint
The first thing I always do to a space is paint. It makes a huge change for just a little money, in just a few hours. Three walls are white, with the 4th painted black – not chalkboard but a regular latex. I chose Restoration Hardware colors Right White & Obsidian. It’s a great pair that works so well together.
 
Besides the black & white, I also added in a dash of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, using Paris Grey and Florence. 
 
area rug, west elm, farmhouse style, interior designed
 
I did buy a few things, including this Cable Knit Pattern Rug from West Elm. Can you believe that it was on clearance for only $49 for a 5×8 rug? Yeah – run get ya one before they sell out!
farmhouse style, Target.com, modern clock, wall clock, wall art
 
I also found an amazing modern style clock at Target. I found mine on clearance in store for $4.98, but they also have them online for only $6.99.
Eivor curtains, Ikea, drapes, drapery, interior designed
 
Another fun purchase was from my favorite place on earth – IKEA! I ordered their Eivor Curtains online, with shipping 2 sets came to about $40 (and I don’t know that I could have made 2 sets for that.)
vintage style light, schoolhouse light, flush mount lighting, Home Depot
 
Since I made everything else all about me, I replaced the light, too. There’s a little DIY that went on, but it started with this farmhouse inspired light. I’m going to share how I Gina-ed it up, so keep your eyes peeled for that one. I mean, when you start with a $30 light, you can play with it a little, ya know?
cottage, shabby chic, cabinet, armoire, hutch, furniture, white, storage, organization
 
Now let’s talk about furniture! Of course, we build all of ours, but I did find some very similar pieces online just to share the look. I needed a big cabinet to hold all the stuff that I use, and so Mr. SCC got his build on and made me a huge piece that works perfectly. If you like the one above, you can find it at Target for about $200.
white cottage style farmhouse dining table
I already owned a farmhouse table that Mr. SCC built a few years ago, and it’s a huge workspace that is perfect for my needs. It’s a little different from the white farmhouse table above, but if you’re loving the look you can find that one at Walmart.com.
 
And now you have a sneak peek into my interior designed office! We’re almost to the big reveal of my farmhouse inspired office, but I’ve got just a few more projects to show before we get there.

    Your mood board is wonderful, Gina. You have a great eye for pulling things together. xo Diana
    ps. I wanted to tell you-but maybe you already know- when I open your blog I get two or three pop-ups-one right on top of the other that I must deal with before I can read your blog…..

    Those curtains are so fun looking. I like black and white and seem to be using quit a bit around my house. Looking forward to seeing the final results.

    How much patience do you think this one person has?? I NEED to see your office! Ooooh, I know it’s gonna be fantastic! I have that same table you show…got it at a yard sale for $15, but the top is warped. Got on line and found that turning it upside down, in the sun, might help. Any other ideas? Anyone?

    I love black and white, but I don’t think I could pull it off – I have to many bits and pieces of stuff that wouldn’t fit in. But then again, I never thought of painting all the bits and pieces. Hmmmm….

    I also love black & white and have been using it a lot lately, my kitchen, deck and other places. I live in an old farm house and black and white is so classic. Love it. Throughmyporchwindow.blogspot.com
