First, I started with a lamp makeover. I had this lamp for about 10 years from PB Teens. I decided instead of photographs, I would use tissue paper to decorate the shade.
Here is all I needed.
And here is how it turned out!
The painting above the dresser was a great find at a local art show.
It is actually of the Scott Memorial Foutain on Belle Isle in Detroit.
I found this stool at a garage sale years ago for about $7.00. It had such character. Clint thinks I paid too much. But it just looks so perfect next to the rocker!
While browsing through West Elm's site, I could not resist this Mirror Wreath.
The bookshelf even received a face lift!
While at a recent trip to Homegoods, I found these adorable book ends of rain boots.
~Sigh~My Parson's Desk has to be the best assest in the room.
Now the Office finally feels warm and fuzzy. Still need to add a couple more things like a rug and more wall hangings. I am thinking a mirror to bounce more light around the room.
Do you see anything I could add?

Oh my gosh, that dresser is amazing! I do think you need a bigger piece of art above it though, perhaps that wonderful painting can find a home on a smaller wall?
Love the local artwork - such a cool & personal touch! It's looking great! That stool is too cute (and I totally don't think you paid too much! :) ).
so many good things! that dresser, the lamp (so versatile!) the stool is perfect with the rocker. the mirror wreath. looks great over there!
I love what you did with the lamp! The room looks great :)
I love the piece of art work, though I think I might add a few more coordinating prints/photos. It will help it to pop and fill more of the wall.
I love that piece of art. I think something bigger could go over the dresser too, but the painting is pretty cool.
And I love those bookends. I saw those at Homegoods over the weekend too and thought about picking them up. They're super cute!
I agree with Sara, a bigger piece of art above that dresser would look fantastic! The painting you found is fabulous, I love the colors in it. And the rain boot bookends are adorable!
Thanks so much for the helpful comments! I totally agree. I have a few other pieces of art I am going to try in that place also. I do love that painting in there, though, plus it reminds me of when Clint and I got married. We were married on Belle Isle. So we will have to find a better spot for it.
That's the Scott Fountain, silly, not the bridge. ;)
Love the rain boot bookends, I need to shop at HomeGoods more often.
Oh wow! this room really came together!
Favorite part: tissue paper in the lamp. Totally takes it from teen, to adult!
LB
loving it
and i love the old stool
thats so me!!!!!
and the lamp is perfect!!
I think a warm rug would be great in there -
Oooh, love the lamp with the tissue paper! It's all coming together so nicely! And the mirror wreath is AWESOME!
Love the stool, love the mirror wreath! I agree that the art could be bigger... Maybe you could just stick it on a big canvas, so it looks all dramatic. Small pieces look really special when they have a lot of mat surrounding them.
You've got lots of fun pieces in this room. The lamp is totally sophisticated now with that tissue paper! And I think Oonafey had a good idea about putting the art on a canvas or something to make it more substantial. It can be tricky to find a good spot for narrow paintings like that.
Awww, I love this room!!! Every beautiful little detail you added is so perfect. And I am JEALOUS of those adorable rain boot bookends! Can I be a copy cat??
So cute! My favorite are the rain boots. Too darn cute.
