As
I transitioned back to working from home, I started working on
building my home office. I want to be as comfortable as I can,
because the more comfortable I am, the more enthusiastic I will be to
work, won't you agree?
I
always wanted to work from home, and I truly believed that this is
the time for me. I started looking at home office ideas on Instagram
and Pinterest. These are some favorites so far.
Of
course, I had to consider my budget, so I window shop (well
screen shop, really 😅) around for a few weeks to see the best
offer. I am mainly looking for a desk and a comfortable office chair
with good quality but won't break the bank.
I
found my office chair in Walmart.com.
This
office chair was originally $169.99 but was on sale at Walmart
for $91.99. I was drawn to it because of its ergonomic design with an
adjustable headrest and lumbar support that looks so comfortable. It
has a breathable mesh material that promotes air circulation and
keeps my back and legs relaxed. The headrest and the seat is
adjustable up and down while the backrest can be adjusted forward and
back. The installation is also a breeze - no additional tools or
fittings are needed. It took me less than 3o minutes to install
everything.
On
the other hand, I found my office desk from Amazon.com:
I
could have bought my chair in Amazon if the prize is on sale like in
Walmart, but unfortunately, it was not. Anyway, I really fell in love
with this Mr. Ironstone 50.8." L-shaped desk, perfect for the
corner that I planned to build my home office. The original price was
$129.99 but was on sale for $99.99. It has a white marble top and
gold frame legs, so it was a perfect design. It also has excellent
reviews and looks really good based on verified purchasers' photos. I
also love that it arrived within two days! (I am a Prime Member, by
the way😃)
The
assembly is pretty easy too. It took me less than an hour to assemble
everything all by myself, and I am impressed.
So
here's the overall look and feel of my humble home office:
I am really going towards the rose gold theme here, but I am still working on that. 😂 You can check my home office rose gold list essentials in my Amazon Store Front. You might find something that you would like too! My
Starburst Wallpaper Sticker is from Wallmonkeys that
I was sent complimentary for review. The little frame below was from
Dollar Tree; you will be surprised how much cute stuff you can find
in there! You can also do DIYs from Dollar Tree products if you are
the creative type on a tight budget. I like to do that, but sometimes
my creativity runs dry along with my motivation. I am usually just
too lazy. 😂
I
also love the idea of having a brick wall. Am I the only one? I found
out that one of the easiest ways to achieve brick wall design without
spending too much time and money is by using faux bricks. I came
across Faux Brickwork, which
has some good selections of Faux Brick Wall panels.
Here's
how chic they look:
I
think this would really look great in my home office!
