Today I’m sharing our Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze Board & Batten home office reveal! I’m including all the design details plus a list of sources for this office makeover!
This post has been a long time coming, and I decided it was just time to show you what I have completed so far on our stunning home office makeover. I can’t say that it is 100% at this point, but can I honestly say it likely ever will be? The end of this post has a full list of sources. Here is a quick shot of the space now before I get into everything that was changed.

Let’s first look at this room in it’s former states. It’s surprising how many forms this room has taken on in the little over a year we have known it. Here was the room last October during one of our walkthroughs {with the prior homeowners belongings}:
And here was the state of the room shortly after we moved in. I was still using my IKEA Expedit for my desk and the original wall colors and window coverings remained from the prior homeowners.
I then freshened up the entire space with two coats of Behr Ultra’s Eggshell paint in the saturated color Castle Path. We also ordered plantation shutters for the street-facing window for some added privacy and then updated a free desk we got from my office at work.
And here is how the updated office looks today. You can see I veered from my original design board. I felt like things were taking too serious of a turn and I love the fun, bright vibrant colors mixed with all the soft neutrals. It feels like it has a California vibe to me, which I love. I’m sure I’ll continue to tweak it a little further, but I love the results so far!
That office looks amazing. I love the board & batten wall and the color you painted it. Great job!
cant wait for the DIY tutorial…I’ve been wanting to do one like yours for our family room reno. hope you can help me pull mine off 🙂
As usual, it blows me away!! So beautiful, Sarah!
Oh that board & batten with the art work is so fantastic. And Urbane Bronze is a fave color of mine. Gorgeous!!!!!

Looks great Sarah!
I am crushing on that painting and can’t wait for the tutorial!
It’s so sophisticated Sarah 🙂 Love the gold handles and wall treatment! xo Kristin
ahhhhhhhhhhhh perfection!!!!!!!! there is nothing that I don’t love!!!
Stunning!
Love the room! I am not a girly girl at all, but what about a crystal chandelier instead of the beaded one? Absolutely NOT a criticism! Just a thought. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
How do you plug in the computer? I always wanted a desk in the middle but didn’t want a cord running anywhere
What a difference- such a gorgeous space Sarah. I love the paneled wall and the drapes are stunning. Pinned.
Your office looks like such a serene and inspiring work place! We also painted our office Urbane Bronze, but it’s so funny how different amounts of light can make it look like a completely different color! I love the paneled wall design, and that artwork is fab!
What a beautiful office! I really like the drapes.
This is fabulous! Love everything about it. I’m sure you’re super productive in this office!
I could get a lot of work done in an office like that! I stopped by from the Hit Me With Your Best Shot linky
Oh my goodness–I’m in love with the board and batten! It adds so much texture and personality to the room. I love the feel of the room and how it all comes together. I’d love to do this in my office so I’ll be pinning this.
I love, L.O.V.E the board and batten wall — it’s just gorgeous! You did a fantastic job and it looks magazine worthy. Thanks so much for linking up to ITS PARTY TIME. Pinned it. xoxo
Sarah, that board and batten wall looks SO good! I love the contrast of the darker gray against the light desk and walls. Great color choices. I’d love to feature this on Involving Color. Let me know if you’re interested!
Sarah, it is so so so gorgeous!! I love the board and batten wall, I love the pulls on the desk, I love everything!
You know I LOVE this, Sarah! You have an open invitation to come redecorate any room in my house any time you want– I love your style! Thanks so much for linking up at Hit Me with Your Best Shot! Have a wonderful week!

Hi. Found you in the share over at INVOLVING COLOR. This is a beautiful room. I bet you can get a lot of work done in here. I would go in just to chill. Very nice.
AMAZING… I think the big focal desk is my favourite part!

Absolutely gorgeous office! I’m looking for the source for your beautiful desk but not finding it. Could you please direct me to the source? Thanks so much!
Sarah,
What an incredible re-do in your office. I’m visiting from Marty’s A Stroll Thru Life’s series Pulling It All Together, and you certainly have pulled it all together in both rooms I’ve visited so far…dining room and office.

Sarah, Loved the room. Finally convinced my husband to do our first DIY. Can you please give more detail about the board like what kind did you use and the width please. Thanks
Hi. I adore your home especially your office and courtyard. I have read a majority of your blog and you are a great inspiration for decorating. I have been going back and forth on the linen wingbacks from overstock. There are mixed reviews on the chair online. Could you please give me details on the actual feel of the linen as some people say the fabric is so rough, how comfortable the chair is, are the dimensions accurate, etc. I would greatly appreciate it.
They honestly aren’t the most comfortable chairs for lounging/watching TV etc. However, my husband usually sits in one in the weekends to chat while I’m on the computer and he doesn’t complain about comfort. I would just say they are more for sitting up straight if that makes sense? The fabric is certainly not super soft, but not much rougher than any linen – but it doesn’t make it comfortable to sit in. I know this sounds somewhat counter intuitive but hopefully that helps some! We haven’t ever regretted the purchase 🙂
I love the doors! I have a similar space and I would like to address the doors. Where did you get these?
Thanks,
Thank you so much! They were actually with the house when we bought it (I believe they were custom). I think I’ll be doing a post on them soon though, because I get so many questions. I’ll share a lot of pictures so maybe someone could replicate them for you!
I was wondering if you could give me the dimensions of your office opening, the stationary “doors” and then the sliding door size? I have a dining room that we are making into an office and I am having the hardest time finding doors and/or a door system that will work. I have reached out to a couple companies and all seem to be about $6-8 k to do. I am hoping that I can try my luck at lowes and order/instal myself (with the help of my dad). I believe your office door system will work!
Thank you in advance,
Felicity Brooks
Can you confirm which builder built your home? I’d like to find the doors. I have FINALLY convinced the hubby to let me have the formal living for my office. 🙂
Can you tell me where you bought your office doors from?
We are actually the second owners of the home, so unfortunately I don’t know. But I believe the builder had them custom made!
