My DIY take on this faboo office

So while wondering aimlessly around the super-web-way, I came upon this lovely office by Mary McDonald. I fell helplessly in love with the portraits on the tree stenciled wall, the turquoise and white, the desk, the chair, the stools (ha ha, I said stool). I decided that I must have this look for my own (insert Dr. Evil laugh here). It will take time and money to try to recreate this but below I posted my early attempts at the family tree in my house. Instead of a stencil, I bought a rather large wall sticker from a vendor on Etsy. Though it took 2 months for the darn sticker to be delivered...SO annoying, I will not even mention the vendor. But once I received it, I painted the wall, put up the sticker and bought myself an antique desk. Once I update it with new purchases, I will post the pics.

I think it is a pretty good start but I know I have a long way to go!
