Spare Bedroom Transformed Into Glam Office

This post is partnership with World Market. 

Hey everyone, I hope you all had wonderful 4th of July weekend. We’ve been enjoying our time at the beach, but I’m excited to team up with World Market to share my glam office reveal with you today. We’ve been living in our house for almost two years, but up until now I’ve been working at the kitchen table. After enough complaints from my husband about my stuff covering the kitchen table, we finally decided to transform one of our small spare bedrooms into an office for me to work in. Before I designed my office, I created an inspiration board on my Pinterest and used it to choose a color scheme and put together a list of office must-haves. Once I had an idea of what I was looking for, I searched through World Market’s Instagram and website for some additional inspo before adding items to my cart. After taking measurements of the entire room, some serious online shopping a few visits to my local World Market store, I was able to design the most perfect office with all of the golden glam, faux fur and subtle hints of pink that I could have hoped for.

I’m so excited to show you how I transformed this spare bedroom into multipurpose room with World Market. Not only is it my office, but it’s also used for extra storage, closet space and my vanity where I can do my makeup and film tutorials for you all. It’s amazing what you can do with small spaces by just adding the right pieces. Today I’m gonna show you how I designed my personal space along with some tips to help you create your own! Let’s get started!

glam office

1) Start with a rug you love & build up! I chose the Gold and Ivory Faux Zebra Hide Area Rug because I love the texture and glam vibes it brings to the room.

2) Use light bright colors to open up the space! I went with white, gold and blush because I know they are colors that I will enjoy year round.

3) Hang a mirror to make the space appear bigger. I used a gold round mirror above my desk to create a vanity space.

4) Place a round table in the middle of the room for to leave wall space for storage! It also makes it easier to move about the room. This gold and marble table is gorgeous and can also be used as a dining table in small kitchen or little breakfast nook.

5) Last, but not least swap out the light fixture for a pretty chandelier to add more visual interest to the room. This whitewash wood draped bead chandelier is the perfect statement piece in my office. If you want to make a small cosmetic update to a room in your house, I always recommend swapping out the light fixture first because it’s small update, but it makes a huge difference.

When it comes to decorative objects I like to choose pieces that reflect my personality and things I like love. Since traveling is such a huge part of my life, I placed a blush and gold globe from World Market on my shelf to inspire me to continue traveling the world.

These gold and clear rolling carts are perfect to use as extra storage for office supplies or in my case makeup for my vanity.

The Latest Must-have lululemon Products

Hey everyone, if you haven’t already heard the news, lululemon just launched their own self-care line and it’s even better than I could have imagined. Why you ask? Because the line includes everything we could possibly need to refresh after a workout: deodorant, face moisturizer, lip balm and dry shampoo.  Who else struggles with the time it takes not only to workout each day, but also to refresh after to look decent for work or go about the rest of your day without having to start all over? I’m pretty sure I see everyones’ hands raised behind all of those computer screens and I’m not surprised.  Thankfully the lululemon self-care line is designed to quickly take you from sweaty to ready and the products also come in travel sizes that you can keep in your gym bag for easy on-the-go convenience.

Not many of us have the time to take a full hour out of the day to get our sweat on let alone a full two and a half hours to get our sweat on plus wash our hair and start from scratch so these products are a game changer. However, please don’t misread this as me saying that you don’t need to shower anymore! LOL The lululemon dry shampoo is meant to help buy you some time so that you can still workout each day and get back to work in a timely manner or finish all of your errands for the day.

Now here is where I’m going to blow your mind… not only does the dry shampoo spray on invisible and smell amazing, but it also helps to refresh and rebalance your scalp. As for your body, the anti-stink deodorant cooling spray is like a quick, cold shower for your pits. Did you know that a spray deodorant prevents potential bacteria growth that can happen on a deodorant stick? To top it all off, each of the products are sweat-tested, cruelty-free and don’t contain aluminum, parabens or sulfates. Talk about the ideal self-care line, right?!

Ring Video Doorbell 2 Review

I have been compensated by QVC for this post, but all thoughts and opinions are my own!

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”3626660″]

Hey everyone, I’m excited to partner with QVC to share our latest digital home device with you.  As most of you know, I receive multiple packages a day even while I’m traveling and so I’m not always able to confirm deliveries and sign for packages. So when QVC approached me with a Ring Video Doorbell 2 project, I immediately jumped at the opportunity since it was something I was already looking into for our home. The Wi-Fi-enabled Ring Video Doorbell 2 allows you to speak with visitors or keep an eye on your home, whether you’re upstairs or across town or even on the other side of the country just by using the free app on your smartphone or tablet. The package I got also includes the Chime Pro that extends my home Wi-Fi signal from my router to all my Ring devices so that I’m less likely to miss any alerts.

We installed our Ring Doorbell 2 with Chime Pro a couple weeks ago and I’ve already gotten to test it out while I was traveling in Austin and Florida and I was able to communicate with our house maintenance crew and my assistant via the Live View that’s equipped with two-way audio with noise cancelation right from the Ring app on my phone. The app is great because it allows you to communicate with delivery men and women when they’re standing at your door and don’t know where to place your package. 

Additionally, the camera makes me feel safer because it gives me access to view my entire front yard all the way to the street and it comes with adjustable motion sensor zones. You can even see the video surveillance clearly at night from the Ring app on your phone because the camera has infrared night vision. I love how the Ring Doorbell 2 with Chime Pro makes me feel safer when I’m at home and just as secure while I’m traveling. If you’re looking into front door cameras for your home, I highly recommend ring and you can find all of their products with various package options available online at QVC.
