My 2022 Home Office

I’ve put the finishing touches on my 2022 home office in my apartment. Without further ado, this is the office I’ve been working in for several weeks.
A Feminine Office With Boho Styling:
It turned out to be a feminine office with boho touches.
I wasn’t sure where I was headed with this room that would become my 2022 home office. But I began with the pretty scrolling bulletin board I found at Hobby Lobby and went from there.
Of course, it was half price. I rarely buy anything from that store that isn’t half-price.
A Painting I Ordered & An Indoor/Outdoor Chair From Lowe’s:
I ordered this painting from Amazon for around $50. It just spoke to me somehow.
I bought the wicker chair at Lowe’s, and I thought $88 was a reasonable price for an accent chair for my office. Mainly because you can use it indoors or outdoors.
The Plant Stand Vignette:
I brought my little plant stand vignette into my 2022 home office.
There’s a lot more light streaming through the window in this room. So I brought both old and new plants into the room to provide better lighting.
I picked up a few houseplants yesterday at Lowe’s when I got the chair.
The Ponytail Palm Plant:
Of course, you probably remember the majestic ponytail palm I have. It is no longer far from the window, where it can get the bright light it needs.
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned where I got the stool that the plant is placed on. I got it from Amazon too, and I bought it before I moved.
If you look to the left inside the bookcase, next to the red pitcher, you can see three small boxes stacked. They are the cremated remains of Pepper, a rescue dog that died before I started this blog. And the other two are my beloved Abi and Charlie.
I still miss them all so much, and I tear up every time I think of them!
A Glass & Gold Console Table:
I recently ordered a gold-and-glass console table from Amazon and assembled it for my 2022 home office. It was $66.
When I buy a bookcase or a console table, I know I can use it in multiple places. So I never feel like I’m wasting money.
You can use a console table behind a couch, under a window, or in an entryway. Here, I’m using it for a lamp and houseplants.
I already had the lamp and brought it with me from Texas when I moved. I’ve been looking for a good spot to put it, and I’ve finally found one.
The Curtains:
As I mentioned, I got all my room-darkening blackout curtains from Amazon. I had them hanging on the windows at the other apartment.
I brought the little Trader Joe’s plants in here as well. They weren’t getting the proper light in the kitchen. I may put in a grow light. But this spot is a good place to put them for now anyway.
I had the desk and chair over at my former apartment, as well as the bookcase. You may remember that I made a little office nook in the dining space there.
The Layout Of my 2022 Home Office:
There are two closet doors in my 2022 home office. I keep the litter box in the closet.
With two closet doors and one door leading to the bathroom and another leading to the hall, it was a little tricky to arrange my office.
Yes, that’s a lot of doors to work around! Four total.
First, I had my desk against the wall. Then I moved it to the middle against the bookcase. Later, I angled it toward the middle. And the desk arrangement you see now is obviously the one I finally chose.
The Bulletin Board That Began The Decorating Process:
Here’s the half-price bulletin board that started the entire decorating process in this room.
Sometimes I know what I want to do with a room before I begin. But often, the decorating process starts with one or two pieces of furniture, and I go from there. One thing usually leads to another.
A sweet reader sent me the spiral notebook. It says: “She believed she could, so she did.”
So, that is the entirety of setting up my 2022 home office in this new home.

What a nice bright space. I love it!
Brenda, your office looks great–so inviting! I love all the plants and really like that pretty bulletin board. You’ve really done a lot to bring it all together despite being in such pain lately. I think you will really enjoy working in this new space. Congratulations on getting it all together and for sharing it with us. What now?? The garden, I guess, right? That will be a new experience having to tailor it for more shade-loving plants. I know it’s gonna be beautiful, though. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
Hope your pain is less and you are feeling happy with your office and optimistic about the garden.
I just love your home office!
Very nice! I love the two dream catchers you hung up. They’re special.
It’s perfect. I love it!!
The space is lovely…the plants and lamp on the console table and the table itself are a beautiful combination…everything is striking..enjoy it all 💕
Another success in decorating! Looks very nice Brenda.
It really looks nice. Clean and crisp.
Wow, Brenda, it turned out beautiful! I knew it would. It looks very peaceful. I love it.
Your office came out just lovely. Very warm and cozy like the rest of your home. Your creativity will just flow in there.
Well done, Brenda! Light, bright, airy ~ and very you!
Amazing, as always, Brenda! I’d love to have a beautiful room like that to work in, now that I work from home full time. You did a great job pulling it all together! Will you actually write in there now instead of in your comfy chair? Or will you use it mostly for things like paying bills and such? Either way it’s a lovely space to spend time!
I have to write posts, etc. sitting in my recliner because my right leg needs to be elevated most of the time. Pretty much all my bills are on auto-pay.
I will use the office for more crafty things and keep things I need organized. A place for everything!
Wow, you pulled it all together so beautifully! I love it! I felt bad abandoning you because of my leg but you absolutely did not need my input. Just lovely!
That came together very nicely. I want a desk chair like yours! My favorite spot is the coffee bar corner in your kitchen. Enjoy your weekend!
Love the new office space. Green plants make it a happy place to create.
I love your office! Great job Brenda
Love the layout of the office! It’s always fun to see the close-up of each section. And, I love that you always give us a shot of the full room, like today’s view from behind the desk! Great job!
Nice and cozy!! ❤
It’s lovely, Brenda! I love all of the paintings….would you mind telling me where you got the floral ones?
Hobby Lobby at half-price. They typically have half-price wall decor about every other week.
Love this office! I wish mine looked half this good but I have 2 huge sugar glider cages that kind of ruin any attempt I make at decorating it.
Where did you get the orange baskets on the bookshelf? I really like those.
Hobby Lobby. Cheap too!
Everything about your office is perfect! It’s set up with a fabulous flow and it’s beautiful. All the plants look great.
It is just lovely. Great bulletin board.
Your office came out great! It is so pretty and it looks so nice and bright! I’m sure your plants will love it in there!
Beautiful and relaxing! I love the boho items mixed in, especially the dreamcatchers. The desk chair deserves to be showcased & now it is. I love a light-filled room. Perfect for brainstorming the garden design of your dreams. All of your landscape pictures are so inviting. I love to meditate on a natural scene.
Well done, Brenda!
Will Ivy perch on the glass console table in front of the window to keep an eye on things outside?
Have a safe, relaxing & pleasant weekend!
I think the console is a little high for her. And she won’t jump up on something if there are lots of things on it. So I’m hoping she won’t try. Yesterday morning I did get up to find the paintings on the mantel were on the floor, so she’d jumped up there.
The room looks great! Well worth your time and effort! So glad for you.
Love your office layout Brenda, to think you had to work around 4 doors! You would make a great Stylist for anyone’s home.
You have made a beautiful home there! I’m so happy you got somewhere safe. Look forward to reading your blog everyday.
Your office is beautiful! Very peaceful, feminine and pretty!
You did a beautiful job with the room
Just lovely! I think the wall decor along with the plants absolutely bring it all together and brings out the cozy feeling. Plenty of interest and subtle colors.
One of my favorites is the plant stand vignette with the white plate in it. Oh Brenda, you give me so many ideas for my place. Love it all.
