Home Office Makeover (cozy light academia)

[@jehnim29]

As someone who watches a lot of DIY content - just wanted to say this is a great video! Entertaining, well-paced, informative, good use of music, talking, and sped up montages. Not all new channels start off at this quality. I will definitely be subscribing. 10/10 😄

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you so much, that's so kind! We've had another channel for almost 5 years so we've had some time to practice before starting this one 😅

[@jehnim29]

I went to your full channel and realized 😂 we'll the skill is translating beautifully, I can't wait to see what you do in this corner of the internet lol

[@angeladavison3353]

Same!!

[@kalanlynn2067]

I totally agree! I thought she had way more subscribers based on her skill level and production quality. Keep it coming!!!

[@JenellFlynn]

@@jehnim29 Thank you, I really appreciate that! I'm exciting to do more of this!

[@gaiabreeze]

The owls really set the tone. You've done an excellent job interpreting your theme. Thanks for sharing your inspiration and execution. Your patience with those drawers was enviable

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that 😊 I don’t know where I found the patience but I’m glad I did and hopefully I can find it again for the next project lol

[@mugglemom9135]

This is awesome! I applaud your patience with the drawer fronts. They turned out beautifully. I must admit, though...the Ravenclaw in me would love to see a collection of well-loved, well-read books on the bookshelves. The uniformity of the Reader's Digest books is just a little TOO uniform for me! But you do you. 😎 Looking forward to seeing future projects.

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you so much! And I totally agree- I would love some more worn books, too. I just don't really have access to very many of those where I live, and when they do pop up for sale they can be pretty pricey. BUT, I do love they way the light from the window hits the gold on these books making then feel a little magical 👌🏻.

[@vick9895]

I was going to say the same, I`m always in awe of people who buy books they will probably never read just for the purpose of decor... My shelves are completely full of books I do read, and now they are spilling into trunks and every other storage space I have cause I can`t part with them, and a lot of them are travel, art, and architecture books so they are also beautiful to be on display! (I would devour all the Reader`s Digest books, tough. Always loved it, and still do!)

[@brandyb3505]

Had not heard the term light academia but I’m pretty sure this is what I lean toward in my own home. Just beautiful!

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you so much! Honestly I hadn’t heard of light academia either until a few days ago- but I think it’s the perfect descriptor for this 😊

[@xphoenixrising]

It's actually what Dark Academia is supposed to be, but people mistake it for DARK WALLS DARK DARK. Alas.

[@suzy1676]

Looks amazing 👏🏻 😍! We ❤ our "accessible beige" walls and ceiling in our room. Looks wonderful as the light changes throughout the day.

[@JenellFlynn]

I'm really loving it too!

[@JaniceSeagraves]

I had no idea there were screw caps. Looks nice. The cord covers make your cords nearly disappear.

[@adrianarraquel]

This space is gorgeous! I love it. Thanks for the inspiration. You're such a delight to watch and your pets are quite the bonus. They made me smile! BTW, that glass sliding door... yeeeessssss!!!!! ❤

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you, that’s so nice of you to say!! And I’m so glad you found this inspiring 😊

[@amy.usherwood]

This turned out so well! What a calming space. I was also so inspired by your precision and clear dedication to making things the best they can be:)

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!

[@althea1462]

Quick tip for priming melamine - Sherwin Williams makes an Extreme Bond Primer that really helps stick to the melamine and extend the life of whatever top coat you put on!

[@JenellFlynn]

Good to know! I’ve seen so many people use the primer I used and everyone says to use it and I did not enjoy it at all lol 🤣

[@TheAtWhatCostBlog]

Our WHOLE house, every wall and ceiling, was painted matte Accessible Beige by our builder and we love it! Although we have done some other accent walls in our kids rooms and we painted the bathrooms a different color. But it’s a great choice for neutral not boring beige. Great video, very inspiring!

[@JenellFlynn]

That sounds amazing! I really like it, hoping to paint all our trim and doors this colour eventually, but used it for trim and doors in our bedroom makeover already!

[@catherinedubin1585]

Glad I found you! Well done. Appreciate how you explain things. Peace.

[@JenellFlynn]

Thanks so much!

[@geensjc]

I’ve seen SO many home office makeovers and I have to say, this is definitely in my top 2! Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us 🤩

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you so much, that’s so kind of you to say!

[@ashleyynoelle3020]

i was trying to figure out my style for my new apartment bc i wanted the academia vibes while keeping the space bright and airy, plenty of plants and wood textures. Can i just say you NAILED it. Hogwarts Legacy's Hufflepuff common room is exactly what i pictured my space looking like and you did such a BEAUTIFUL job. WELL DONE!!! Definitely going to take some inspiration from this room!

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you so much! I definitely like this lighter version of academia, too. I was worried in this small space if we went super dark it would feel too cave like lol.

[@kaylataylor7494]

I so love that you modeled this design off of my House's common room! It's so warm and cozy!

[@candacecourtney7415]

Can’t understate the value of two people being on the same page!

[@esglezz]

Wow, this turned out so pretty!

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you so much!

[@MsLori-BassGirl4Life]

That looks really nice, and it definitely ties into your vision. Wow. You did a very good job and i really like that paint color with the warm woods n lights. I think i need this color. 😊

[@PencilStash]

So beautiful!! I too loved the hufflepuff common room

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you!! The Hufflepuff common room is SO good 👌🏻

[@Spendinglifetogether]

Such a beautiful job!❤

[@VIAGLO]

First off, you look beautiful! Second, it looks amazing. Literally 12/10. The best minimalist office I’ve seen.

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you so much!

[@adamcook5940]

Great DIY skills! Looking good there!

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you so much!

[@carolyndietrich8214]

Love how the flowers pop with the gold frame painted. Love the green and peach frames and what you the flower transfers you put in them. The stenciled backgrounds and gold highlighting worked well. The box is nice however I think the paper on the drawers is so subdued that it blended in too much. I ike more contrast.

[@ih458]

You are so talented & remind me of a little pixie/elf... Definitely had to give you a follow!

[@JenellFlynn]

Hahaha, I love it, thank you!

[@VampyFang]

Such a beautiful space! I'm so jealous! I can only hope to have such a nice game room/office like this ❤

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@CptBlysWife93]

It turned out beautifully! You baby is precious!!! 🥰🐈

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you! 😊 I love her angry face in this one 🤣

[@LaurenJones-lh2df]

I would do my whole house like this 😍

[@JenellFlynn]

I want to!! Haha

[@sivapavankumarreddy611]

This was really awesome. Seeing your hard work from the beginning and seeing the final output, it completely paid off. Great job, and I loved the theme for the office you have chosen. A big applause for all your hard work. ❤👏

[@JenellFlynn]

Thanks a ton!

[@melissadivelbiss8356]

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you!! 😊

[@KawtarElAallaoui]

This turned out so beautiful omg. May I ask where do the cords of the upper sconces go? I don't see plugs in that area and you made it look so neat

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you so much! We found a beige extension cord (it's one of those kind of fabric wrapped ones), we plugged in all the lights on the top shelf into it, and then brought the cord all the way over to the right, tucked it behind the shelves before attaching the shelves, and and it just hangs in the corner down to the plugin behind the desk. 😊

[@natocas]

Beautiful! ✨ From where is the lamp shade, please?

[@JenellFlynn]

The shades came with the lights, linked in the description 😊

[@emilydecarlo9433]

Just beautiful! Curious - what are dimensions of this space?

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you! It's about 9.5' x 9.5'

[@leilarose8478]

loved the result so much that im taking inspo from it for my office!! i love the drawer fronts but how did you do the center cabinet? it has a recessed door and it seems impossible to put a front on it!

[@JenellFlynn]

Thank you so much! We had to add different brackets, they’re surface mount ones but I can’t for the life of me remember what the name of them is. They were a bit annoying to add but necessary!

[@leilarose8478]

@@JenellFlynn i figured so! i was like there is no way they did it with the recessed hinges😂 thank you!!

[@leightondoswell4779]

Love it but i see a lot of dusting to keep all that beautiful open shelving clean. Looks amsazing.

She’s a mixed breed rescue! We did a dna test and it said malamute/Belgian malinois/border terrier (though we’re pretty sure the last one should be fox terrier).

[@emilycappa308]

I’m really curious why you chose to build out the door frame instead of building your own barn door? Just wondering not critical in any way 😊

[@kathyaclaude4966]

❤❤❤

[@IgorDellaPietra]

there are only two things that (slightly) bothered me: i wouldve made the upper shelf a tad bit smaller. that way it elevates the room, making it look bigger and the wall lights would cover up more surface. the door trim on the top is oversized which (in my mind) doesnt fit the cozy academia style. thats something i expect to see in a log house. otherwise, well executed and the outcome undeniably is way better than before!

[@viviana2263]

Love the result! I'm tired of seeing white-IKEA office looks, with bright colors and curved shapes (very "aestethic"), the white makes everything cold and generic and the bright and very Tiktok style makes everything very childish and overstimulating. I like this cozy and warm style better, like "librarian", it invites you much more to calm. I am currently on the path of styling my office spot and I want to integrate this more welcoming and simple style.

[@JenellFlynn]

I love cozy and warm much more too! Everyone's got their own preferences and I can appreciate a bright white space when done well, but in my own home I'm definitely loving the more soft and warm look 😊

[@camperosintomate]

Un consejo los cajones se montan mejor tumbados

[@JenellFlynn]

I tried that haha, the drawers go in a little past the frame so it didn't work very well unfortunately which is why i ended up doing them upright 😊
