I recently worked on a super fun project decorating my mums new office!
For context my mum is 70 and has just had her first publishing deal and is now writing a sequel to @mycountryafrica 🤍 this is the first office she’s ever had in her life and I really wanted to turn it into an oasis of calm for her to write in. She always said she wanted to feel like she was in a creative cocoon and I hope this does the vision justice!
Still need to add lots of bookshelves and some artwork or prints but we’re pretty happy with it so far! What do you guys think?!
This was a super super fun project because the space literally did transform over a weekend and when you’re renovating a house you know how long those before and afters usually take!!
If you’re curious about the book her mum wrote it’s called My Country Africa by Andrée Blouin and is a really fascinating story (@mycountryafrica)
It’s been so fun doing this project and I’m so grateful to all of you who’ve sent such lovely messages about it! 🫶

The only thing I’m not vibing is the bright pink door, it’s cute but I’d love to have had it a nice wood to complement the green! But there’s only so much you can do with rentals!

Loooved working on this! First stab at a moody dark room and I’m so happy with it! Definitely made me get over my fear of colour hahaha
