Thrifted OFFICE MAKEOVER // budget friendly ideas + final reveal

[@EmilyGarbe]

Let me know how you think it turned out!

[@RitaVernoy]

I think a vintage fishing basket would look great on the book shelf, maybe look for some great fishing lures and related things to arrange with it😊

[@EmilyGarbe]

Aw I love that idea! Thanks!

[@judybryant3880]

I think the office makeover looks great. Both DIY projects turned out beautifully. The fish is my favorite being in two frames made it so unique. You are one of my favorites because of your love of life and if being a mother is so infectious that you're a joy to watch as you share with us. With all the uproar today about abortion and women's rights to do so, it warms my heart to see you loving and caring for your family and home.

[@EmilyGarbe]

I so appreciate this. Thank you ❤️ I am so glad I can share the joys of motherhood and homemaking

[@angeladenmark3164]

Awesome Office Makeover!!!! You create a room of calmness and peace!!! Beautiful chairs!!!! Great Job!!!! God Bless!!!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you!! God bless ♥️

[@wilgenbusches]

Sooo funny you wanted to redecorate your PT office, this made me smile :)

[@EmilyGarbe]

Hahaha alllll the time

[@sharonsomers5513]

The office turned out great! I am sure your husband loves it.

[@EmilyGarbe]

He does!!!

[@chelematsumoto4785]

Love it! Absolutely a difference that the clients can feel. Love the family support! Keep taking the kids so they can help!

[@EmilyGarbe]

All of them have loved it so far ☺️

[@donnacalvert311]

Emily, I think you did a great job decorating your husband's office. I love how the chairs match so perfectly with the rug you put down. The kids were so cute helping you! Have a blessed weekend 💗

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you!! I thought so too 😅 it’s a good rug

[@loveforSunday]

I love it!! Especially those large canvases. Also I think that wood of the desk/shelf looks great with the rug! Amazing job :)

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you!!! I was banking on that rug tying the brown tones together! 😅

[@veronicahebeler8716]

His patients are going to feel so comfortable and welcomed!! Great job!

[@EmilyGarbe]

He’s said it’s made a huge difference!

[@semperfivetgirl5764]

Dang girl…..you took a small average looking space and just turned it into a comfortable..upscale..professional office. Not only will this bring more enjoyment into the hours your husband needs to spend there…but an inviting and peaceful environment for his patients. Those chairs totally elevated the look even more. Just wow…and your expression of gratitude at the end was heartwarming. You have some mad skills pretty lady…and loved seeing this come together. Please consider sharing how you create your “vision boards” before you begin a project. Your results always look and feel so intentional and well thought out. 🥰

[@EmilyGarbe]

Aw wow you are so kind. Thank you for your words ❤️ I shared a bit the vision boarding for this space in episode one of this makeover. Linked in the description ☺️ thank you!

[@gailgriggs8914]

What a change! The office looks professional and comfortable.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you!

[@JackieJames-u4q]

1,000% better! Those clients will feel so much more relaxed whilst there. Well done, it's a beautiful and professional looking space now ❤

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you so much!

[@morp3022]

Hi Emily, Thank You for sharing the transformation of, your Husband's office space with us. Sweetheart, You did a Fabulous Job, and it was So Sweet to see your little guys helping out as well. 🥰 Emily, Thank You again for sharing, inspiring, encouraging, and for uplifting So Many of us. Lord willing, until next time. 🙏🏾 Love In Christ, Paula

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you so much Paula ❤️ God bless you!

[@marjiemadlena5871]

Your husband’s office turned out great. It’s so calming and relaxing. Great job Emily. I’m so glad to hear you are all feeling better.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you so much!

[@JeffandLoriJohnson]

You are talented! The office looks great! So glad I found you on KZbin!❤ Being a mom & homemaker is the most rewarding thing you can do. And staying home is the BEST!!!

[@EmilyGarbe]

I totally agree! Thank you so much! 💗

[@lisaoleksik2823]

Beautiful! Very comfortable. Clients will feel relaxed in this space . Great job!

[@annbolick499]

😂

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you! 🤗

[@HeartandHomeCrew]

It is so much cozier!! love the warmth the lamps bring and those chairs are so beautiful!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you!! If he can’t have a window he can at least have cozy lamps 😂

[@relliot1000]

Your boys are the sweetest! Such great helpers!

[@EmilyGarbe]

They are!

[@wendymassey9963]

I don’t necessarily watch for decor inspiration as our styles are different. I do think the office turned out nice. Mostly I like your happy and sweet personality and I like to support sahm moms and wholesome channels! You’re doing a great job!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Aw thank you so much!!!

[@dd3wc]

Looks to be a very calming space … not clinical at all and makes one forget they’re in a doctor’s office. I think a silk Boston fern or a basket the width of the bookshelf full of a mix of silk plants popping out and overflowing, would go well! Looking forward to next week … and glad everyone has recovered! God bless! 🙌🙏✝️✡️❤️

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you! And that’s a great idea 😍 I’m going to be looking

[@christinewilliams7005]

It looks so much better! The rug is really pretty - really brightened up the room, not to mention hiding all the stains of the carpet. Great job!

[@EmilyGarbe]

I totally agree! Thank you!

[@ritastutler1470]

Hi Emily You did a great job. I am sure your husband’s clients will love it. That was so nice getting the leather chairs. Those definitely added a high end look. I think the rug made the biggest difference. The art work was perfect. It is funny but I always notice when I go in any office..doctor, dentist’s etc what their offices look like. My dentist is an artist and collects anything to do with our city. It is a treat to go there and just look around. When we had a hair salon in a hotel we redid our space with a tropical look and our clients loved it. Dominic’s client will feel so much more relaxed and comfortable in his new space. You did great Emily. You looked beautiful working in your pretty blue dress. I love that the boys like to help. I need to try some art work like you did…it’s interesting. I am glad everyone is well .❤❤❤❤

[@arlenelaporta3082]

You executed the vision perfectly. Beautiful space.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you so much!

[@iopgirl9061]

As always... a beautiful job on your vision and bringing it to life. And it's always a pleasure seeing the kiddos. Hope y'all are feeling better. Blessings

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you so much! We are feeling so much better ❤️

[@cindyhancock5261]

I love your husband’s office! You did a wonderful job! Congratulations to your husband making Residence! 🥼🩺🤍

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you so much!! He’s a little over half way through now. The second 2 years they are in outpatient instead of inpatient hence the new office ☺️

[@sheilasanders7908]

What an Improvement to that boring office space. Well done!!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thanks!!!

[@wilgenbusches]

Nice!! Wow the framed fish looks terrific in that space.

[@EmilyGarbe]

I love it! Thanks!

[@carolynfraley5027]

Beautiful job as always . The colors you used were perfect, it’s professional but not cold and sterile. It’s very welcoming . Maybe a few stacked prints for height on top of the bookcase? Love it

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you! That was the goal. I’m so glad it came through. Hadn’t considered that idea. Thank you!

[@teresaderus5629]

Hi! You definitely should put a plant on top of the bookcase. Love your videos. Have a great day everyone!

[@EmilyGarbe]

I'm looking for one!

[@savvyheart369]

What beautiful color in the space now! Love that rug. 👏👏👏 I can't wait to see the Goodwill bin shopping haul next.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you! 😊

[@Stumble.guy2]

Looks really nice and you always have great ideas and find the best things while thrifting!!! Your boys are so cute and growing wayyy too fast it seems… so enjoy their every moment (as I know you do! ) Before you know it,,,they’ll all be in school and you’ll wonder where the years go! Nancy from IN ❤

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you so much!! They are growing like weeds 🤣♥️

[@lisaday1660]

Fun makeover!! Love watching you and supporting you and your precious family!!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you!!!

[@lornawood3260]

The side of the office that you decorated looks so good! (I would have had to rearrange the desk side a bit, as I can’t sit with my back to the door!) 😊👏👏👏♥️🙏

[@EmilyGarbe]

I’ll address the layout in an upcoming video! I forgot to mention that!

[@GlendaYancey]

Such a big improvement! I love the pictures you made and the rug.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you!!

[@terrischwenk9217]

Love your channel. You have grown so much. Love the office redo. Very welcoming and comfortable.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you for the affirmation! It’s been a wild ride 😅 still growing ❤️

[@AnnEaton-xj6ic]

Great job Emily!! Love the palm prints you made…so creative!! The chairs & rug are everything!!🥰

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thanks so much!!

[@michellemccormack9671]

The office looks so good!!! The theme was well-developed, and makes the room cozy … which is not usual for a doctor’s office, but very appropriate, I believe, for your husband’s specialty.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you!! So important for them to feel comfortable there ❤️

[@tammyleviner3070]

Wow you did an awesome job Emily! It looks very nice, love the pictures you created with the palms too! The rug & chairs are so pretty. Glad you guys are feeling better. Excited to see that haul😉 Pray you have a blessed week🙏🏻

Beautiful transformation ❤❤❤

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you! 🤗

[@sharonmikalauski6503]

The office looks cozy for sure. Kept wondering about the desk placement however. Having your back to the door is a Fung Shue no no and you'll always feel "off" sitting there. Clearly just a thought 🤔 on my part. Well done still 👏🥳!! Loving your content ❣️.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Ah yes I mentioned the layout restrictions in part one but should have mentioned them again. The psychiatrist has to be closest to the door for safety. I would have switched it if I could 😅

[@debbiebuchanan2574]

It really looks good. You did a amazing job

[@EmilyGarbe]

I appreciate it! Thanks!

[@hollywhittenburg3260]

Big beautiful basket on top! Hidden storage, brings in a bit more rattan.

[@EmilyGarbe]

I like that idea!

[@ivanajukicgloban6627]

Great job❤😊

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thanks 💙💙💙

[@tamarahenderson9615]

Love how warm and cozy the office looks now! wondering if you moved the rug forward towards the desk and tucked it barely under the desk if it would be better to unite the desk and chair areas? Love the color palette and the fish wall art!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Didn’t think of that but that’s a good idea! I’ll be going back once I find something for on top of the shelf and will try it. Thanks!

[@janicelynch6351]

[@susanvelez6534]

Hi Emily !The chairs and artwork are both excellent choices and contribute to a pleasing environment. My only suggestion would be to reconsider the use of a tray around the business phone; it might be more effective without it. Additionally, given the nature of the profession, it would be beneficial to place tissues on the small round table between the chairs as well as on the shelves.🙋🏻‍♀️❤️

[@EmilyGarbe]

I’ll ask them how that tray is functioning! You may be right I definitely put it there for aesthetics 😅 and I didn’t out the tissues out for the reveal because I never found a cute cover while thrifting but they are there now ☺️

[@susanvelez6534]

[@donnaoveracker1228]

I love the office, and I'm sure Dom's clients will. It should make them feel comfortable. My only issue is that the desk faces the wall instead of the door. I realize the chairs probably wouldn't work that way. However, the desk was facing the wall before you started which I find extremely weird.

[@celestebaxter6084]

I think the doctor needs to be closest to the door.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Yeah I forgot to mention why the set up is that way! For safety the doctor’s desk has to be closest to the door. They’ve already had one close call 😕
