New Robyn's Southern Nest - Before and After's of Our Home Reveal - Robyn's Southern Nest

Home Office & Beauty Room Reveal

Hey y’all and welcome! I’m very excited to share my NEW home office and beauty room reveal with you today. I recently moved my office from the corner of our loft area upstairs into one of our spare bedrooms. I did an IGTV tour a few weeks ago over on Instagram, but I’ve since made a few changes since then. Surprise surprise right?!

The biggest change in this room is definitely the wallpaper I added to one of the walls. I used the Devine Color Peel and Stick Wallpaper in the gold speckled pattern. I’ve used this product before on our kitchen bar a few years ago, so I do have a few tips that I will share with you below. You can read about our kitchen bar “Shiplap Faux Sho” blog here.

Here’s a little before shot of what the room looked like before. We just had some bunk beds for when our family came to visit. It was very plain and rarely used, so I decided it was time for a change!

I brought in some aqua and coral to play off this art work I grabbed at Goodwill last year. I’ve honestly always wanted a girly office and beauty room combo for awhile now. I guess it’s the equivalent to a man wanting a man cave. I decided to also move my vanity from our closet, where there is no natural light, into this room instead. You know, so I don’t look like a crazy clown! There have been so many times I’ve flipped down the car “truth mirror” and been like whoa there Tonto…where are you going looking like that? Lighting is everything. Am I right ladies? Here’s the beauty side of the room.

I had some excess wallpaper so I lined the drawers to my vanity.

So let’s talk wallpaper for a moment shall we? This accent wall was a little over 80 square feet so I initially thought I only needed 3 rolls of the Devine Color Peel and Stick wallpaper to cover this space. Even if you’ve done the math like I did, I highly recommend buying an extra roll just in case. I had to make a late night trip to Target to grab another roll, because my impatient butt couldn’t wait until the next day. My husband is so patient with me. It was raining and already 9 pm and I’m like, “Wanna go to Target?” and he didn’t even bat an eye! I’m one lucky gal!

Tip #1

Buy an extra roll even if you’ve done the math. You will need it just in case you made an error. You can always return it if you didn’t need it. Better to be safe than sorry.

Tip #2

If you have trouble getting the roll out of the tube packaging just start rolling it up inside the tube using your three fingers and tighten the roll until it easily slips out.

Tip #3

After you’ve hung your first section flip the roll over and use the bottom of the straight edge to go up to the ceiling with to start another section. That way you have a super straight edge and not the edge you just cut off. It makes lining it up a lot easier.

Tip #4

Use an X-acto knife to cut the bottom of your section near your baseboard or any other areas like around your outlets, trim, windows etc.

Tip #5

Use a squeegee to smooth out the edges and air bubbles while you’re applying it. Also do not take off the whole backing at once. Slowly remove it down the wall as you are smoothing it out using your squeegee. If you mess up it’s OK! You can easily remove it and start again. That’s the beauty of this product.

My other favorite feature of this room is my little beverage station. It’s such a first world problem to not want to go downstairs to get a cup of coffee, I know this! I’ve actually used it in the mornings a lot before I head downstairs. I make my tea or coffee in here just using the tea kettle and coffee press. Gotta get that caffeine! I repainted this dresser with Fusion Mineral Paint in raw silk. If you want to read more about this product, you can read about here. I think it definitely brightens up the room now and really shows off the new hardware I bought for it.

This past weekend Chris and I went to IKEA and picked up a few things. I was on a mission to get these two LACK shelves to hang above my desk. I really love the look of floating shelves. If you choose to use these shelves I highly recommend using anchors with your screws! I was extremely nervous to hang them since I had just hung the wallpaper. But I sucked it up, and measured 3 times and just drilled! The most difficult thing when hanging these shelves by yourself is lining up the bars on the bracket with the holes in the shelf, but other than that it was pretty straight forward. I do recommend getting a buddy to help you.
