Dream Home Office – Part 2

In my last blog post I started the makeover for my attic home office by taking down a half wall, putting in new flooring, painting the walls and upgrading the lighting to smart lighting. But there was still so much to do. My friend Charlotte from @atcharlotteshouse came to help me finish this project and another awesome friend swooped in at the last moment too. In this part of the project we added a wallpaper accent wall, paneled a secret wall and added beams to the ceiling. Keep reading to see how we turned this attic into my dream home office!

He had his bike in our spare bedroom and he was using his phone to watch training sessions. The room had things everywhere and he really needed a better setup. So I took this standard small bedroom and turned it into the perfect pain cave, complete with a custom entertainment and organization system. Here’s how I did it!
