Our colorful study reveal

Good morning! I am so happy to be sharing our colorful study reveal with you today. I cannot believe it is finally finished. Well, 95% finished. We still need to setup the homework/desk area along with shelves for books but that will have to wait until after Christmas. This study makeover started over a year ago when my friend Darlene from Fieldstone Hill Designs created a mood board full of inspiration to transform our previous playroom to a bigger kid study that adults would also enjoy hanging out in. We deviated a bit from the original mood board as it took me SO long to finally get started on the room and many of the items we chose last year were no longer available.
Are you loving the storage trunk? My friends at Wayfair were kind enough to donate the trunk to our room and I absolutely love how it has a lift top and offers a large amount of storage inside. I will be sharing more on this trunk later this week but this guy is rock solid and beautifully constructed. I absolutely love how the metal trim coordinates with the metal TV console. That happened by accident!
I will be sharing more of this space this week once I finish adding the remaining Christmas elements.
I found the industrial style media chest at our local Restoration Hardware outlet for a steal! It has a few scratches and minor imperfections so the cost was 60% less then the retail price. Restoration Hardware is one of my most favorite places in the world but it’s a bit out of my budget most of the time so their outlet is a perfect go-to spot when looking for something industrial, trendy and unique. It offers loads of storage inside and houses all of my son’s legos, games and figurines.
The couch is from Boston Interiors and the apothecary style lamps are from Ballard Designs. I don’t exactly follow the “dark fabric” rule when it comes to furniture and kids + pets. When we purchased the white sectional for our family room, some of you just about died! ha. I still remember a few emails from readers telling me I was absolutely crazy for buying a white couch. This couch, like our white sectional, is pre-treated with a stain protector and I did purchase an accidental stain warranty. It covers everything including dog pee and red wine :). The fabric on our new couch is also a microfiber fabric that is super durable and kid friendly. I truly believe in buying what you love and I don’t think you should have to sacrifice style because you have kids and pets.
I want to thank my friend Darlene for all of her help. She went “above and beyond” helping me coordinate the colors and prints. She offers a very reasonable e-consultation design service and is so fun to work with. Be sure to check her out at Field Stone Hill Design. You can see the mood board she created for me here.
Our colorful study reveal is almost checked off the renovation bucket list. After Christmas I plan on creating a homework area along the stairway as well as hanging a few shelves for books. Thank you to Wayfair, Dash and Albert, Sherwin Williams for providing the paint and Home Goods for the fabulous products.
Disclosure: All opinions and words are 100% my own. The products are gorgeous and we
love them in our room! 🙂

It looks absolutely amazing, Jessica! I love all of the colors! I could see myself claiming this room as my own…can you lock everyone else out 😉 ?
I was thinking the same thing Jessica! OH , this would be a perfect room for me 😉

Awww thanks Tonya! The little JOY sign was fun to make 🙂
Jessica! It is just wonderful! I love how colorful it is… I just know your family is going to enjoy relaxing in this space.
I think your space is the perfect example of how someone can work with an interior designer to gain vision and direction, but still diverge from the original plan with confidence! Great work executing the design!
Love the whole thing but the pops of bright color are my favorite! That couch is to die for and goes great with the rug! Good job!
Thank you Natalie and I think the couch is pretty cool too 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

The study turned out so nice! It’s fresh and bright and a HUGE difference from before. Great job Jess in making this a very inviting space!
What a cheery room! I have spotted that coral colour a couple of times lately and I think it’s making a huge comeback! The trunk is lovely – and the tv console is unusual and fun! Xmas deco’s look good too 🙂
Thanks Petra! Coral is my favorite color right now 🙂
