My Whitewashed Brick Walls Basement Home Office Reveal w/ Decorating Ideas!

Happy Almost Back to School! Wow. I really cannot wrap my head around the fact that my kiddos start back school in two weeks. And ours are one of the last schools to start back! What happened to Summer?!? Although truly 99.99% of me is sooo sad my girls are going back, there is that little .001% that kind of enjoys getting back into a routine. Particularly a work routine. I always feel a tad bit of guilt when we get back from our Summer adventures and I have to work from home while they play. Probably silly I know but that mommy guilt is always something I struggle hard with.

One thing I knew that I really wanted to accomplish before the big first day was my home office! As you may have seen last month on the blog or over the last several weeks on my IG stories, I have been working hard to get this room completed. FINALLY!!! Working from the breakfast room table for the last year and a half is probably not the most productive work situation and being that close to the refrigerator is well… dangerous. LOL. While we were away in Europe in June, I shared one room update but I am happy to report that a whole lot has changed since then!

For this room reveal, I teamed up with World Market to create a work space perfect for juggling my blogging, designing and business owning life. A place that inspires me to be creative and get organized! I cannot even tell you how excited I am just to have a place to keep my pens! They currently get hijacked by my five year old at least five times a day. So that is exactly why I chose to complete this space with World Market. They have everything from office furniture to office organization, desk accessories and decor like frames and wall baskets. And as you may have seen in my IG stories this week, I scored something from every category all in one hour at World Market!

In creating my office, the design all started with this beautiful antique desk that I inherited from my grandmother. I always think of her when I see it so I wanted it to be the focal point in this space. From there, I chose this rug and these cute pink chairs to create a soft yet modern color/pattern scheme. Next up, an office chair that I ended up finding at World Market which I LOVE! It’s super cozy and rolls which is perfect for an office space. Next I found these beautiful zinc hanging frames that instantly inspired an idea for my office and for some of the paper that I purchased in Europe! I loved the idea of breaking up the shelving visually by hanging frames on them and since I LOVE color and pattern, I decided to fill them with this gorgeous paper I purchased in France this Summer. It’s funny because I had sworn off this geometric print and even mentioned that on IG Stories because of the geo print rug but ended up loving that one most! I think it’s the difference in scale of prints that for me makes it work with this rug. To complete the space, I found all kinds of goodies to fill the bookcases and organize my desk from World Market too! Here’s a peek at the space along the way during our renovation and then TODAY!

    You are so very talented at mixing color/pattern. Your new office is not only beautiful but will be so inspiring to work in. Can you share the source for the pink chairs. Thank so much and enjoy your new space.

    I love the whole look! Styling shelves is always a challenge for me, and the look you created is so pretty! I’m one for either a minimalist look or something like you created. I’m curious how you would style it if it were minimalist. Will you be hanging the leaning mirror? I think it would look great hung because the details on the top of the mirror would be eye catching if it were higher.

Ten years ago now I started my blog named after my Ten years ago now I started my blog named after my then five year old little girl ADDISON 💗 And today is her SWEET SIXTEEN! When they say it goes fast, they aren’t kidding even a little bit. I now see her “in passing” as she goes from school to band to hanging out with friends, her boyfriend, quiz bowl, honors clubs and everything in between. I’m so crazy proud of the young woman she’s become. Top ten in her class, living/studying in France for a month this January, and then possibly studying another month living on a college campus this Summer as part of the Georgia Honors Program in French. She’s beautiful, witty, crazy smart, incredibly creative, musically talented and has the biggest heart. Couldn’t be more proud to call her mine. Love you Addison!!! 💗💗💗
In June of 2021, five days before we boarded a fli In June of 2021, five days before we boarded a flight to California to tie the knot, Abigail told us about two historic homes side by side. Both in complete disrepair that were about to hit the market. As any crazy busy, almost newlywed couple with four kids and too many things going on otherwise would do, we said… we’ll take them. BOTH! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 Needless to say it’s been a minute but our first renovation I just named (today) WONDERLAND COTTAGE is complete! And it’s adorable 🥰 Excited to share every single space with y’all starting TONIGHT! Here’s the completed reveal of the front living room… P.S. every detail and product link is on the blog tonight!

*TAP SAVE to save how we secured the garland and a *TAP SAVE to save how we secured the garland and all (detailed below)* Finally got around to decorating one of my very favorite spots in our home… our bedroom fireplace ♥️ Since painting our bedroom dark and adding a little Portugal travels inspired tile to our 1908 coal burning brick fireplace, it’s just felt like the dreamiest little spot! Now for how we secured it all…
1. For the garland, John secured a screw into the mortar on the top ledge of the brick. From there, he added a zip tie around the garland, and then looped the zip tied loop over the screw.
2. For the stockings, with simply hot glued clear command hooks on top of the brick. The hot glue comes off easy peasy!  Follow my shop @addisonswonderland on the @shop.LTK app to shop this post and get my exclusive app-only content!  #liketkit #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday #LTKhome

Yep, HER name is ADDISON and MY name is BRITTANY 😉 Thirteen “short” years ago I started “Addison’s Wonderland” in honor of my then three year old Addison out of a “need” and desire to be creative as a new stay at home mom. That three year old will be SIXTEEN next week and I cannot even believe how much everything in our lives has changed. Here’s to the most creative, intelligent, witty and beautiful daughter I could’ve imagined. I love you ADDISON! 💗💗💗
