Humble Beginnings: Decorating The Space

Greetings Hydrangeans!!!

As promised, a new addition to the Humble Beginnings series. This blog will chronicle my journey of decorating my small humble office. Before I go too far, what is a Hydrangean? A Hydrangean is a follower of The Tattered Hydrangea! I did not spend a ton of time on that name but I love it! It fits and works for me, lol. 😍

The office space serves as an administrative location and think tank for TTH President (Me). I knew this would be a place for meetings, interviews etc. and wanted it to be different than a typical commercial space. Early on I settled on a rustic look. I like rustic. I hope you like what you read and see.

First stop, 4W Rustic Furniture Depot in Waxahachie. I have to tell you guys that I love simple but real. I wanted a solid wood desk, file cabinet etc. and I found exactly what I was looking for and it turned out really cute! Check out what I selected below.👇🏾..😍😍

For the love of wood😍

File cabinet

Next, I knew I wanted a metal storage cabinet for promotional items, cleaning products etc. so I combed Amazon to see what I could find. The stars were aligning because I found/selected this cabinet in minutes. As you'll see, I didn't think it through in terms of transport, assembly or keeping sane. I literally laid on the floor from exhaustion whilst assembling this cabinet. I should note, that I love assembling furniture and things of that nature but only when clear instructions are included, not just one dimensional pictures. 😒🙄 I'm sure glad the TTH President is an optimist because that poor cabinet, who knows where it would've landed. See below👇🏾...

Door panels and something else, geesh!😂🤣

The frame😵‍💫

Side and back panels

Bottom panels

A million nuts, bolts and screws

Almost finished here

Next, I found a beautiful desk chair, guests chairs, wooden sign, clock and chest from various places. One of my most favorite antique malls ever is "Knick Knacks" y'all. You must check this place out, it's located in Duncanville, Tx and you can find me and my Jeep there almost every Saturday. Take a look at what I scored below👇🏾...

Rare find! Military trunk from Knick Knacks (Duncanville Texas).

Guest Chairs... Knick Knacks (Duncanville Texas)

Desk Chair. Yes I assembled it.

Custom made sign from Etsy.

The perfect spot for the perfect accessory.

I'm not fully finshed decorating the space yet but most of the major items are completed. I hope you've enjoyed this glimpse into the journey of decorating my humble office.

I think for the next blog, I'll show you the promotional merchandise available and my thoughts when selecting the items. Or, maybe I'll share a blog about me since it was promised. Let me know what you think in the comment section after reading this blog. I'd also like to know if you like the name Hydrangeans. I could also go for Hydrangea-Nites or even HydrangeaKnights. That Hydrangea-Nites sounds like a very irritating bug. 🤣😂

Quick video of what the office looks like now mius the wooden sign... Enjoy

Thanks again Y'all!! Stay tuned....
