I thought I would share some of the changes I did in my office. I have been spring cleaning and while doing that I changed up some things.
Entry to my office |
I have a pretty chandelier hanging over my desk. |
Remember this old door from a 1940's Chicago Private Investigators office I got at the antique mall. It hangs on the wall over my desk area. |
I got this tiered shelf lamp recently and use it in my office to store all my handmade items and some ribbon. |
This is a sweet Junk banner I recently got in a small shop I frequent. |
I love that it says Junk and that each letter is unique and has a lot of old vintage jewels for some bling. |
Here is a close up of the U and you can see the pretty lace and old vintage brooch used on this one. |
Here is the K too with old vintage buttons and bling. I added some of my flowers and ribbon to the end pieces of this banner. |

Thanks so much Gigi. You are so sweet to leave such a nice comment. I would email you but you are a no reply blogger so I hope you get my thanks for your sweet comment here.
DeleteKris
Great office! I love the whole room and I was stopped in my tracks by... the queen sign! That is a riot!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG girl you are tooooo creative, I want you to come to my house have a look around and create something new.
ReplyDeleteProbably one of the cutest/fun offices I've ever seen. Love your unique methods of storing your magazines. Fun Fun!!
ReplyDeleteI could while away quite a bit of time in your office! There are so many wonderful things to look at. I really like your private investigators door.
ReplyDeleteHello Kris,
ReplyDeleteWhat a crispy heaven your home is. Love your style and chippy treasures, they are adorable.
Happy Tuesday.

Sooooooo pretty Kris!! I LOVE that old chippy cabinet!
ReplyDeleteKris, love the space that you have to work in that is so like you. I'm still thinking about those wine racks for magazine holders. Used to see them at yard sales all the time, haven't seen one for awhile. It's all so special and so you..Happy Tuesday..Judy
ReplyDeleteI'm also a hoarder of books. I recently built a wall bookcase in my apartment to keep them, but i still have 50 boxes of them stacked in my living room now waiting to be unpacked, and there is after I also filled my trunks to the rim also. I'm running out of ideas of how to store them, and now may be I should just give them to the library.
ReplyDeleteWow you are organized! That is a dream of mine LOL. It looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Amy Jo
Just gorgeous! Your office is fairy. I love everything, the old doors, the chandelier, the cabinet. Everything looks so shabby and romantic.

Your office is definitely "you"..filled with so many fabulous things that have been repurposed to a more beautiful state!...Glad to hear that you are also a magazine hoarder....I love to pick up an old one from years back and see what trends survived...Just an "enchanting office"...
ReplyDeleteKris, you never cease to amaze me at how talented you are. Your office is spectacular, I love it! Don't feel bad I think most of us bloggers are magazine hoarders also. I finally gave up some of mine and now I am sorry, but I kept all the Romantic Homes, Southern Lady and French Country Style - the rest I give to a friend.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Mary
Beautiful, Kris! I love your office.
ReplyDeletexx,
Sherry
I love, love, LOVE your office! I love that it reflects you and the things you love. Oh my gosh, I am so going to steal that idea of using wine racks for magazine storage! I'm a magazine hoarder too.
ReplyDeletexo Jonni xo
Kris your office is a little bit of Heaven! It suits you to a T, you are soooooooooo creative, I know I've told you that a gazillion times but dang girl, you're amazing! COME DO MY HOUSE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah.....that door.....it might come up missing at some point, just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteLove your office, what a wonderful place to work. I especially love all the architectural pieces.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Lynnie
Your office looks so inviting! I think I would spend my time just looking around at it instead of working! Do you sleep or does your brain think all night of new decorating ideas! Sure wish I had some of that energy and talent! Spring cleaning is nil here right now! Enjoy your new space! Nancy
ReplyDeleteI just love your office area...it is so pretty!!
ReplyDelete~Cindy
Shabby Heaven Kris - I saw you linked up everywhere and have only now realized it was yours - ( and I really should have known - because no one does this as well as you )
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous - those doors separating the space are stunning !
LOVE
XOXO
I absolutely love your office, it is fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletelove.love.love this room.....your photos just make me go "ahhh"....new follower--aimee
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful light filled office! Love the way you've stored the magazines, and all your "junk" touches.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Deborah
Your office is beautiful, Kris! It's such a great space to work and to play :).
ReplyDeleteJulia
I love your office!
ReplyDeleteLovely office! Where ever did you get that sign The Queen will no...? I would love to have one.
ReplyDeleteKris, only you would've ever thought to be able to make a piece of furniture 'perfect' you'd need to leave it buried under more than 100" of snowfall over winter, lol! What I want to know is where were all those magazines and books before the chest?? Your office is amazing - I love how you have all the little things organized in the baskets on the hanging pole with doorknob trim - only one of many clever solutions you create.
ReplyDeleteKris, your office has always been one of my favorite areas in your home! It looks SO fun-loads of white,chippy goodness! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that 'Junk' banner!!
Susan
Such a fun and creative space!! LOVE that "Private" door...you find the best stuff!!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how you must love to sit in that sweet office! xo
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely the Queen of Cottage décor. You're the best, Kris. Thanks for another lovely post.
ReplyDelete*Smiles*
LOVE the sign that the Queen will not be accepting an audience.
ReplyDeleteKris,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore your office. Such an inspirational room that reflects the essence of your decorating/designing/collecting heart. Your Terry is such a wonderful hubby who shows you his love with creating your visions to make a lovely and beautiful home.
XO,
Vera
Oh Kris,
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful, simply shabby and very chic office space...jealous! :-)
Hugs,
❤️Ana
Love your office space, Kris. Thanks for showing us. I have never seen a desk with those kind of legs - love them! They are like my dining room table legs. Love the cedar chest. Maybe I ought to start leaving things outside!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a charming office! I have the same problem with saving too many magazines. I have them in different places wherever I can find a place to store them.
ReplyDeleteI love your JUNK chic-ness :)
ReplyDeleteLove your divider and window header so uniquely you. I noticed you are the winner of the bathroom book over at Vera's, and to receive a favorite bar of Vera's soap makes it that much more special.
Let us all know how the book was, and if it inspired a bathroom junk make over :)
Love your kind of Junk Kris.
Beautiful May flower to you and all that may inspires.
Back to my bending of my wire crown makings.
See you soon and all your inspiring beauty.

I love your office--you do such a great job with your decorating. You have so many awesome things and you put them together beautifully :)
ReplyDeleteWhen surrounded by all of your beautiful chippy, white lacey lovliness one doesn't mind so much the day to day of the office now do you? Wow, What beautiful place to work in!
ReplyDeleteOh MY...I adore everything about this space!! I am ready to move in and set up shop! Great inspiration pieces...I am kicking myself now b/c there was an old, old house in town that was about to be demolished and I was going to call and ask about windows/doors, etc. and never did...now it's gone...waaaaa {little pity party here}
ReplyDeleteWow, your room looks just like a little boutique! What a fun place to create!
ReplyDeleteit's so full of junk chicness, kris:) i esp. love you combine bits and pieces(like the curtain rod and door knobs) to make a special display piece! but the fabulous french doors are my favorite of all! darling room to create in! have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this charming, bright, cheerful space with all the custom pieces you've made. :)
ReplyDeleteYour office is just gorgeous, Kris! I love that it's so bright and white and is full of so many treasures. The architectural pieces you've added make it extra special!
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing pictures of your home, Kris, and your office is such a cheery place! Great little details everywhere! That new tiered lamp is really cool and the JUNK banner is so cute! If I ever get there in person, I'll probably wander around with my mouth open, in a home décor coma LOL! Working on some spring cleaning here too but I may have to kick some people out so they'll stop undoing things as I do them! :) Have a great weekend! Hugs, Leena
ReplyDeleteHi Kris, playing catch up, I just adore your office and what you did with that piece of door and then putting the other one over your desk is so cool. Your brain must never shut down, LOL. That is the coolest banner I have ever seen, not kidding and love the little touches of bling.
ReplyDeleteCynthia

I love everything about your gorgeous office!! I think my favorite things are the French doors and the JUNK banner! :)
ReplyDeleteI love how much you are able to re-purpose "junk" as you call it! Such creative and beautiful ideas. I love that you have found antiques, added the white to give them a new breath of life, and retrofitted them for a new purpose. I want the "Private" door above your desk!
