Avery’s New Desk Area

January 23, 2021 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

I feel like we are finally getting back into our groove after being off for Christmas break.  Even though I love a schedule, we were all on the struggle bus in the mornings getting back into the swing of things.   One of the first projects we had planned in the new year was getting Avery a new desk area for her room.  She is in 4th grade and it’s the first year she has really had a decent amount of homework.  She needed a space in her room to study.  She has an area in the playroom, but Braden is also up there a lot so it wasn’t quiet enough for what she needed.  This Christmas we gave her a coupon for a “new desk area” that she could help design after the holidays.  I am so excited to share it with yall.  

When we moved into the farmhouse we updated her bedroom.  Her room in our last house was a little babyish so she was ready for a “pre-teen” room.  You can read all about that HERE.  We got everything at Walmart and couldn’t have been happier with the selection and the quality.  I didn’t want to spend a ton of money, but I also wanted beautiful pieces that would last and that is exactly what we found.  When it was time to do her desk area we headed back to Walmart and found more amazing pieces. 

Her room is blush, white, gold and lilac.  We found the perfect desk that was white with gold legs.  It has 2 drawers to store her stuff, but not enough drawers that she can hoard a ton of things :).  Avery is a “collector”, nicer term for hoarder :).  She likes to save ALL.THE.THINGS.  We are trying to work on this.  You don’t need to save the box to the pencils we just bought ;).  Anyway, this desk was perfect.  Lots of space on the top for her to do her work and 2 large drawers to store the stuff she needs.  The base was a beautiful matte brass and you cannot beat the price.

Next up was finding the perfect chair.  This desk chair is so soft and comfortable  It adjusts to the height you need, swivels, rolls and the brass base went so well with the desk.  At less than $75, I was thrilled with the price!  It also comes in a beautiful white/brass option.  It is a super popular chair and sells out quickly (similar option linked here). This was another desk chair we were seriously considering.  We both LOVED it too!!

After picking the desk and chair, it was time to accessorize and get some things Avery needed to stay organized.  We found this cute copper desk organizer to hold all her pens, notepads, etc.  The linen covered bulletin board is so pretty and functional.  It comes in a few different sizes, but we got the 23.5″ x 29.5″ one. We hung up some of her favorite pictures, but this will also be a great place for reminders, notes, etc.

Avery LOVES cats and we found this cute canvas art.  It comes in tons of sizes and different animal options, but a cat was perfect for her.  The lamp was a steal of a deal at less than $17!  It has the same matte brass finish as the desk and desk chair, an easy on/off switch and it has a USB charging port in the base so she can charge her iPad for school.  It comes in a few colors and has almost 1,000 5 star reviews!

I love how everything has a spot!  I wanted an easy system that Avery could keep up with and stay organized.  It is so much easier to work in an organized space.  The desk has 2 large drawers at the top to store the other things she needs.

Another thing Avery got for Christmas was this great metal rolling cart (next to her nightstand).  It gives her extra storage that she can easily move around her room.  It comes in different color options 

On the top shelf she has her new Frigidaire retro fridge.  Yall this thing is the coolest.  It was another Christmas present and I think I want one for myself as well.  It holds 6 cans, but Avery uses it to store some small water bottles in her room.  It was $32 and comes in several colors.  If she wants some cool water she can just go straight to her fridge instead of going downstairs.  You can also see the Polaroid camera she got for Christmas.

 

I have shared these frames many times because they are my favorite.  Simple brass frame for a steal of a deal.  

Avery’s beautiful white metal bed, soft lavender blanket (comes in tons of colors), fuzzy body pillow and cute fuzzy bench with brass legs are also all from Walmart!!  I am telling you . . . we always find the best things there!

Avery absolutely loves her room and so do I.  It is beautiful, functional and very budget friendly.  Thanks for checking out Avery’s new desk area and room!

    Ah the days my girls liked all things pink and lilac and pretty stuff. Now that their 18 & 15 not so much. I’m lucky if I can walk in their rooms.
    I love her new desk! I’m setting up my home office and was looking for that exact desk! I saw it on Pinterest with this beautiful wall that was done with a board and batten accent wall. Thanks for sharing her beautiful room and the link for my new desk!

    Can we talk about that door ❤️❤️❤️❤️
    I’m searching for the perfect door for my living room. I’m so picky, but it must be just right. This one is amazing! Super cute idea to hang her mirror on it. Did you paint and distress it? I’m working on old windows for decor now. Super fun!

✨REMODEL UPDATE: POWDER BATH✨

This bath got a huge cosmetic update & reconfiguration.
It had a very awkward angle in the corner that kind of threw off the space. We disguised it with custom cabinetry and a faux panel. This added useful storage, design & now you’d never know there was a strange angle.

Some fun wallpaper, paint, counter details, hardware & sconces finished off this great space.

Now functional & beautiful.

How many cats does it take to officially be a cat lady…asking for a friend 😹

Meet Kaya & Strawberry our newest foster kitties! They are only with us two weeks, but we are soaking in every minute of their cuteness. Our first round of fostering failed… hence the newest member of the family Callie, but it was the best failure ever. ❤️

Last week we snuck away for a quick girls trip to Park City and had the best time 🤍
So much quality time, lots of laughs, and memories I’ll cherish forever. It was my first trip to Utah and I absolutely loved it…the scenery, the charm, all of it. Also loved finally getting to visit @the_fox_market in person… I’ve always adored everything they do!

Duck update 🦆

If you’ve been following along in my stories, a mama duck made herself at home in the planter by our pool and laid 11 eggs. For the last month, she faithfully sat on them every day…with occasional pool dates with her duck daddy. 🤍

Last week, 9 little ducklings hatched and the whole family has now relocated somewhere new. It was such a fun thing to watch.
We will miss our little duck friends, but I will not miss all the poop 🤦🏼‍♀️.
