Easy French Shabby Chic Office Decorating Hacks You Need to Know Part 3

Easy French Shabby Chic Office Decorating Hacks You Need to Know Part 3

Welcome to the tour of my new interior design studio/office!

In my previous career prior to starting my own firm, I was a designer for various scrapbook manufacturers as part of their design team. This required me to make samples for their advertising purposes in order to demonstrate their products. I never fully finished my complete vision for my “craft/scrapbooking room”, but you can see that I used various furnishings that I already owned in order to make it work.

Fast forward to 2019 when I started Julie Ann Rachelle Interior Design, now known as Julie Ann Rachelle Interiors LLC in 2022. I needed a new office space that reflected my personal tastes and abilities.

How to Make an Off-Center Window Disappear Behind Your Headboard

Welcome to my Master Bedroom Makeover Part 4! It's a blue French Country Primary Bedroom reveal. The room makeover has been completed for many months. I only now have the photos to share with you, my friends, and my fans. It was a sorely needed refresh and one well-deserved. I believe everyone deserves to pay special attention to their master bedroom (or primary bedroom, to be politically correct). It is where we spend most of our time in the world.

Easy French Shabby Chic Office Decorating Hacks You Need to Know Part 2

Easy French Shabby Chic Office Decorating Hacks You Need to Know Part 2

I recently refreshed my home office and decided to would write about my experience. Previously, this room was my scrapbooking/craft office, as I was active in design teams in the scrapbooking industry in another lifetime.

After starting my home office refresh, I wanted to think about how to design a French Country Cottage/Shabby Chic look with a calming and inspiring atmosphere. This had to be accomplished on a budget, and so my husband began our thrifting adventures for office furnishings. All of this occurred in the midst of the pandemic in the fall of 2020.
