Revamp Restyle Reveal room makeover: Guest room/office

OFFICE MAKEOVER swipe for the before 👉🏻 [AD] After four weeks of grafting, my new look @revamprestylereveal office/sometimes guest bedroom is over on the blog. The before pic is an old one before we moved in (just as a reminder of that crazy chest of drawers built-into where the fireplace should have been), but this room was pretty much untouched since we got into the house, nicotine-stained woodwork and all (like seriously 🤮). We've now painted, built a new desk and window seat, changed the radiators and restored a reclaimed, once yellow fireplace back to its former glory, as well as working in some gorge new products from the #revamprestylereveal sponsors @westelmuk @we_are_Soak @style.library @zoffanyfw @scionfabrics @harlequinfw @davidhuntlighting @flokk_Design @sonos @ao @ca_pietra_ @theblindshop @dobbiesgardencentres. I'm really happy with how it's turned out – it's a bit of a calm oasis in my house, which is a good thing when trying to concentrate working from home. If you haven't already, also go and check out the other RRR bloggers room makeovers @_lisa_dawson_, @frenchforpineapple, @lustliving, @our1930sfixerupper, @danielatascayork, @_matthew_shaw_styling_, @rocknrollbride, @designsixtynine and last but not least @tamsynmorgans – you can find the links to their rooms at the end of my blog post. Anyways, let me know what you think of the transformation! . . . #houseproject #renovation #homeoffice #makeahouseahome #myhousemyhome #homeimprovement #interiordesign #houserenovation #homemakeover #homeswithstyle #homeinspiration #actualinstagramhomes #homesweethome #housedecoration #housebeautiful #homestyling #interior_design #inspiremyinstagram #instahome #interiordetails #homeinspo #beautifulhomes #ShowEmYourDiy #interiorsforall #interiordecorating #mywestelm #inspiregreatwork #deskgoals LUKE ARTHUR WELLS (opens in new tab)

Revamp Restyle Reveal room makeover: Snug

{AD} If you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything and wow, what a BLOODY difference a month can make! Swipe to see what our snug looked like before this project. I mean, DAMN, we did good. There was stress (oh so much stress)... There were deadlines we never thought we’d meet… There were no floor for three out of the four weeks of the challenge but we only went and bloody did it! Those of you that were following us last year will remember that we took part in @revamprestylereveal last summer, where we did our kitchen in a month… Now that was a bloody challenge and a half (and it legit nearly broke Gareth!) so this time we e decided to give ourselves a slightly less taxing room. The only BIG thing that really needed sorting was the joists under the floor. They were all rotten and needed replacing, but Gareth had already done this in our other reception room so we were pretty confident that it wouldn’t be too difficult. OH, HOW WRONG WE WERE (laughs/ cries in equal measure). Well my friends, I take it all back. It may have been Easy Street in theory but as we’ve come to learn these things are NEVER as straightforward as you think they’ll be. Head over to the blog (there's a swipe up in my stories and a link in my profile) for more photos and the full run down of how we pulled our fancy AF boutique hotel inspired snuggly snug off in just 30 days And now, we start packing for that holiday that we VERY MUCH DESERVE! ✈️🌅💦👙 #mywestelm #westelm #flokk #theblindshop #stylelibrary #aoathome #davidhuntlighting #mysoakstyle #dobbies #capietra #revamprestylereveal #rocknrenovation Kat Williams (opens in new tab)
