[@CathrinManning]

okay I knowwww everyone is saying I need artwork on the left wall... I was debating if I wanted to wallpaper that wall as well or what I wanted there. so I left it blank for now 😂 IT WILL GET SOMETHING!! it won't be left blank!

[@xoxoevixoxo]

We trust your process lol … cant wait to see your beautiful home completely done! 🫶🏻

[@CK1000ism]

I would have pulled the desk away from the wall and had the chair with my back against the wall. It gives you a great background for filming and zoom calls, you are able to look out the window and across the room and don't have your back to the door.

[@LauraG1]

Yup! Back against a entrance and/or window not the best energy flow.

[@jen.chandelle]

I agree!!

[@carolsmith916]

My thoughts exactly! Some bookshelves behind the desk look nice too.

[@carolinagirl6736]

Yes!!!! Sit “behind” the desk, facing the entrance! @cathrin manning

[@annabellreads]

Not if she's keeping that desk. It's way too wide to sit in the center of that space. You could barely walk around it and it would just be frustrating every single day.

[@khalilahd.]

Oh my goodness I absolutely LOVE how this came out!! The minimalist colors make the room look even bigger. So nice! ❤

[@CathrinManning]

ahhh thank you!!!

[@WildFloridian]

When you put the black shelf against the wall, I just started nodding and saying… “so much better.” 😂 I’m sure it must be a relief to have one room settled

[@cyrileo]

I know, right? 🤩 Feeling accomplished 💪🏼 ~ with ❤️ from repliesgpt

[@CathrinManning]

hahaha yes that white shelf wasn't staying!!

[@LilCraftyNook]

My back went out just watching you move that butcher block!! Girl, you are definitely your fathers daughter!!😂 I am continually inspired by your strength, will and determination. Your taste is amazing too OF COURSE!! Many, many blessings and can’t wait to see you and your dad together again!! ❤

[@lamicadelcuore]

My thoughts exactly after watching this video. She's a force of nature! ♥️

[@anacrystinah2962]

Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior, but "Growing money is wisdom"...! figured this out a week ago.

[@namonhilaireTonga]

You're right💯

[@namonhilaireTonga]

I keep on getting $48,000 every week from a new trading platform in town

[@XerazadeMelo]

HOW! I would really appreciate if you show me how to go about it. Please can you list the platforms?

[@dameonbrown1594]

@@XerazadeMelo The crypto market is highly profitable with an expert broker just like Mrs Cathy wood. got recommended to her and since then my financial life has been a success.

[@slimatann3166]

Same here, I earn $13,000 a week. GOD bless Mrs Cathy Wood, her has been a blessing to my family.

[@shawnnelson1549]

Honestly the wall looks good without the sheet and a half on the right hand side.

[@elizabethbriggs492]

"It's about to get barky in here." Felt that in my soul ahahahah.

[@bmas020]

Hi Cathrin, like everything in your office, but not sure about the large light fixture. I reckon it kinda overtakes the room because it’s too large. Anyways I’m not an interior designer but rather sharing my thoughts.

[@JustClaireGrace]

I absolutely love how much thought you put into literally every item, it really shows through. Your office is beautiful Cathrin!

[@sarineturhede]

When I saw that this video was our last night right before I went to bed, I decided not to just "snack it away" but to save it for today. I enjoyed looking forward to this, watched it with my morning coffee, and am so happy for you how your office turned out. ❤️

[@ChazJacobs]

Great video! I agree, the last rug looks amazing in that room. I like it a lot.

[@naturalcreations40]

I love how your office is coming together. It looks so beautiful

[@jessssalemme]

OFFICE GOALS! I really want my own office setup too haha. Thanks for the inspo! ❤️

[@LilCraftyNook]

I can’t wait to have my own office!! (We’ll move eventually. 😜)

[@mariannewm26]

Your decorating skills are so inspirational!

[@LearningVideos24]

Cathrin, you will do GREAT things in that space. Absolutely obsessed with the light fixture, and excellent choice on the rug. Congrats on your new office!!!!!!!

[@called.with.purpose]

You SMART girl! I'm totally borrowing your hack of holding up the fixture with the camera on to see if I like it! Beautiful space you're creating!

[@Coco_Plears]

Another Pinterest worthy office!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I definitely want that light fixture and that shelf 😍

[@brigittabrandt4116]

Looks good. Perhaps, have some Art or Pictures at the Wall. Then it might will be fantastic.

[@mallory3591]

At first I wasn’t sure about the lamp you went with but it turned out really cute when you finished everything.

[@CathrinManning]

lol it's definitely a bold choice!!

[@bria1648]

I though I was indecisive but you are on a whole new level

[@wordsofclover]

You should use the Sims to try and figure out rug placement in rooms XD It can be kind of handy for stuff like that.

[@amandawilson4716]

The office is GORGEOUS

[@ItsLizV]

Love the wallpaper, it looks so good!

[@lifeofhaylee]

YASSSSSS I BEEN WAITING!!!! SO EXCITED FOR YOU

[@13infinitesongaffirmations]

Cathrin it's absolutely gorgeous you did such a good job 🌸

[@saturdaysam4393]

lighting is boss! looks amazing

[@CharlotteLehman]

Love it!!! It's so cute! The girls seem to like it too!

[@suechalcraft2262]

Such a gorgeous rug, light and the whole lot really x

[@karmen1265]

I love these types of videos because I could never decorate. I’m so bad at interior design that I live in a camper 🤣😅

[@RockCityCookies]

Looks really great!! Definitely a place you will want to be in to work and be creative now. Great job, Cathrin!

[@lifewithlozz]

Amazing!! This is stunning 🤩

[@CaraBeara]

It looks really good, you did a great job! 🎉

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

Great office, and that light fixture! Bold choice and I love it.

[@HausvonFloof]

The light fixture makes the room - great choice!

[@CathrinManning]

thank you!!!

[@nicoletiana]

i love following your home reno videos!!!!!!

[@M-Joy]

Oh I really like it! I don't know how you see that beforehand because I wasn't sure I was liking components (for me which doesn't matter) but it all came together so well! I want that skill!! So happy for you!

[@kjonezxo6092]

i adore the finished look. so modern and clean. Chef's kiss; well done!!!!

[@cyprusdiaries]

Love your dog giving side eye to the camera 😂 it was like yep here we go again with this rug issue 😂😂😂

[@fibi164]

Cute & simple….love it!!!

[@JaclynGallant]

Ohhhhh she cute!!!!!!! Amazing job!!! I love your decor style so much!

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

Nice! Enjoyed watching it come together!

[@fulltimetofarmtime]

This came out bad ass! Thanks for the inspo ❤

[@jolynerenelle]

Love love LOVEEEEE the end result

[@KWCardDesign]

Looks awesome Cathrin!

[@chris.hrndz86]

Your office turned out amazing! 👏😍

[@TheresaCampbell]

Girl I love that Light fixture it is a statement. Looks amazing! I'm also working on decorating my house and currently getting all the floors replaced. So it's just one journey after the next. I think it's so fun that you're sharing your journey, because it's inspiring for me to share mine. Also, I love the light bulb hack, because I too want to put lights where I don't have wiring yet... and don't feel like making the investment to cut into the ceiling and hire an electrician to rewire.... What a world we live in to have such luxuries as remote powered lightbulbs !!! :) It's the little things that make life just a little easier!!

[@yoreliseday5392]

Wow your office turned out so awesome!! Love it Cathryn 💕👏

[@amberdesmond3710]

I absolutely LOVE it!

[@annaspeaks373]

Nice, organised and aesthetic♥️

[@johncasey4077]

Your office set up looks great

[@sharalynduboise]

that light fixture is unreal! 😍

[@rrittenhouse]

11:00 I always make it a point to let my dogs sniff packages/mail as they come in because they are just so interested in all of the smells haha.

[@PirateSparrowSlots]

YASSSSS! I love this office equally as well IF NOT MORE than the last one!!!!!! LOL at Fancy & Poppy watching the FEDEX delivery.😀🐕🐕☠💀☠

[@juicy1luv]

your doggies are sooo sweet!!

[@munirahshafawi9841]

Hi cathrin, i love your light fixture. Its so great 😍😍...... Love your wallpaper as well. Not to mention your video is so inspired me to do my own makeovers 😍😍

[@ThatPropsGirl]

Firstly, loved all the dog appearances their expressions during this were hilarious. Secondly I was skeptical at first BUT I love how the office turned out! It's not my style but I LOVE it and it's very you. Your unique style always fascinates me and how you can just make things work. 10/10 Cathrin!

[@dianebaker9789]

Loving it looking good

[@evaantoniia]

This looks really good ❤️😊

[@emmakopel3079]

Maybe move the the desk forward a few feet and sit behind it and you’ll have a nice backdrop for your online meetings and less glare from the window. Also maybe place some artwork on the blank wall opposite of the window, it will spruce it up a little;)

[@kimswrld5321]

Very nice love the new look thanks for sharing

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

I wasn't sure about the wallpaper or the light fixture and they both turned out amazing!

[@ugochukwuharbor5519]

Can't wait for the new look, Cathrin.

[@day_boyer]

I think it looks great! I’m glad you moved the desk.

[@nothagensodlingar4965]

Love the Wall and the lamp. 👍🏽

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Cathrin good morning happy Thursday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@KMYACANIECE]

The gangsta music you playing is soooooo funny to me !!! I love the office❤❤❤

[@didsburyartstudio]

It looks fab!

[@hfortenberry]

I love the added text commentary and the dogs in this one. Hilarious! And, this office decorating project looks so fun! I love the final reveal! That rug is perfect and so is the bookcase with all your electronics on it. I think I might do something similar.

[@Kayla-app]

Love the wallpaper! We are also updating our office so this was such nice inspiration 😊

[@Katlyn_Duncan]

Woooo! I’ve been waiting for this!

[@KrystaNorwick]

I LOVE that you are lifting your desk in slippers. ❤❤❤

[@shannonhorte8234]

The music and energy in this video is THEE VIBEEE

[@stacyhigginbotham2458]

To get some darker accents at the floor, paint the base boards black when you put them in!

[@JessicaLaShawn]

WE LOVE ITTTTTT

[@terahhowell]

Looks great! 🤩 Now I'm researching wallpaper from the site you suggested for an accent wall in my craft room. 💸 💸 💸 I have several samples in my cart, already.🤭

[@diydarlings]

No I don't want to come in there and work but I did by the end haha. Love the lighting you've chosen and as always your styling. I hope I can get better with styling in my videos, you make it seem effortless

[@kaijahotv7591]

I'm Enjoying Watching from Philippines. Nice content .and very informative one..... Bless You Always 😘😘🥰🥰🥰

[@bobbiesauve6334]

Wow! This is the 1st time I've seen one of your videos.

[@michelewhite7167]

Great job 👏

[@PSEHBI]

Ugh obsessed

[@lrx54]

I would use green as an accent color for the art work and shelving….very good design!

[@holidayinspirationideas7756]

Thanks. Motivating video. I suddenly feel the urge for getting up and setting up a home office 😀

[@Luxuberrys]

Gorgeous!

[@misfitacademy]

I love it! I'm curious what you will do for storage? That's always my biggest dilemma with my office!

[@xassy]

It looks great, you did an amazing job. My only recommendation would be to hang the curtain higher, up to the ceiling and add more panels.

[@Mike_Costello]

The most Pinterest worthy dogs I think too;.

[@AllThingsMSP]

OK, so the light fixture is not my taste but it so works compared to the others! And it absolutely makes a great statement.

[@AllThingsMSP]

And…I would put a shelf over the desk about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way up the wall to make it look more balanced.

[@SketchingWithSarah]

Love ittt!!! Do you plan to add some art on the wall across from the window? I think that would be a perfect place to display your vision board or your photography! Love how much thought you put into every piece and it shows! 💕

[@GalacticStudios69]

16:30 I have NEVER felt so insecure over my ceiling light before 😭😭

[@annabellreads]

I'm one of the "face the dining room" people and I'm sorry! When you see the desk in place it's obviously way too big to be in the center of the space. You could sorta kinda put it there, but it would just make you annoyed every time you had to skirt past it. In my defense, I usually have a tough enough time judging physical space that I actually use the video game House Flipper as a makeshift CAD program before I start on my own spaces! 😂

[@KerryBlue72]

Love how you switched up your channel to be whatever your up to. Less pressure on you!👍🏼👍🏼 & what do you do to workout?

[@wephotogal]

I love those windows! My first instinct would be to pull the desk away from the wall so that you are facing the door way (back to the wall) and still being able to look out the window. It's also complying with Feng Shui.

[@wephotogal]

Oof, that's what others are saying, too.

[@SketchingWithSarah]

I CANNOT wait to watch this later!Your last office was iconic and I can’t wait to see what you do with your new space 💕

[@ArtySubu]

Love how Poppy is in EVERY shot 😂❤

[@mariannedeangelo2319]

For future reference, always make sure your lot numbers are the same whenever you order wall coverings.

[@PattyShops.]

Love it 👍🏼

[@mumstheword8]

Turned out great. Only thing I would change is I would make the curtains floor to ceiling. :).

[@kc4948]

Agreed! And wider than the window. Would elevate the look dramatically 👌

[@CathrinManning]

I would need to get custom curtains or have them hemmed and I didn't feel like doing that lol soooo lazy girl way for me

[@-Reagan]

Instead of moving a heavy piece of furniture twice or more, you can move it once, take a photo of it assembled, move it out of the room or into one spot if you’re trying more than one place. Then, use a 3D representation in a decorating app to see it in your room - just two pictures, one of the room, one of the desk superimposed. Then, move the desk to where you want it. You should also measure it if you haven’t, to be sure it will fit. Same with light fixtures, just be sure to size them accurately as possible. Just for future reference

[@waffelsmellgood]

I think you need a large painting on one if the walls. The grid one or the plain white one. Like a very large over powering piece of art.
