My Cozy Cabin Home Office & Content Creation Studio Refresh Reveal

I work from home literally every day, but that hasn’t exactly meant my office was great. For many years, my office was a bit of a dumping ground for renovation project materials, content creation props for my freelance clients and so many stacks of random bits of paper. It got really overwhelming and just was not an inspiring space. So I decided to get serious about making the home office of my dreams. I was lucky enough to partner with both Select Blinds and Article on Instagram content for it, so today I wanted to share the details of the entire room and talk through my design choices. Leave a comment letting me know what you think!

All About My Cozy Cabin Home Office Makeover

Before Photos

Here’s what the room looked like in September 2020: overwhelmingly purple! It was formerly home to two small girls and many, many pets.

In 2021, I started the official makeover of this space when I transformed half of it into our gear room and the other half into den. It worked well for us for a bit, but then I got a bee in my bonnet about my office (which is now our actual TV room). That room had a very sloped ceiling so I could only stand up in half the room. It’s also the smallest room in the house and not very inspiring.

As the primary income earner for our household, it just didn’t make sense that my office (arguably one of the most important spaces in the house) was in the smallest, shortest rooms. So one afternoon I convinced Sean to swap the den and the office with me—and it’s been the BEST decision.

In 2022, I teamed up with Walmart and Better Homes & Gardens to deck out the office with shelving and tons of storage, which you can see below. This set up worked well for me for a couple of years. I loved having this quantity of storage, plus a cozy spot to sit and do work from my phone like video editing.

But then, the mice came. See all of those fabric storage bins? The mice got into each and every one of them, making a huge mess. We’re forever battling the mice out here in the cabin, so this was a disappointing discovery. I knew at this point that I really needed closed storage that they couldn’t get into.

I am SO excited to break down each detail of this home office refresh. From the stylish standing desk to the cozy lounge chair and storage, I am beyond happy with how it turned out—and so much more inspired! Let’s chat details.

A Stylish Standing Desk

I am obsessed with having a standing desk. It makes me so much more productive and focused, plus it really helps my back when I am stuck at my desk for hours on end trying to meet a deadline. I work a LOT and don’t want to sit the entire time. I also recently upgraded the office with a desk treadmill and it’s AMAZING, especially during meetings.

But let’s go back to the standing desk because it is the main star of the show. If you saw my small space home office in our previous home, you know I had one from Fully. It still worked completely fine, but the problem is that I got it when we had a really small space and now that I have more room, I needed a larger surface. This one from Article totally fit the bill AND I love that the top of it is wooden. The white surface on the other one got stained way too easily.

It’s got all the good features, too, like 3 programmable presets and an anti-collision safety setting. But I really just love the high-quality materials and how smooth the desk lifts and lowers.

Stylish Office Storage

I also desperately needed storage that was stylish, but also super-functional. I chose this white oak sideboard because it’s SO cute. But also because it has tons of closed storage, perfect for keeping the mice out. My favorite part are the drawers because they are massive and hold SO much. It makes me so happy to see all of my camera gear organized neatly and ready to be used.

A Cozy Lounge Chair

I also needed a spot where I could sit and edit videos away from my computer—or so the dogs could hang out with me while I work! I am fully obsessed with this shearling chair. It’s so comfortable and the color is the perfect neutral. Not gonna lie, I either need to buy a second one or move it to the living room because I love it so much. I added a side table next to it for my ubiquitous cup of coffee and whatever else I need while I’m editing video on my phone.
