office space of the day...a different kind of home office decor

glossy walls + pops of color + gorgeous desk + art on bookcase + vintage tiffany lamp =
domestic bliss
Lately, I am really into eccentric office space like these...
Mixing styles, finishes and periods can look so fab looking when done right.
I love all of this color in these photos, but for some reason, I love my office to be clean and serene so I can get actual work done and let my creative mind play with imaginary colors.
Rooms situated like this is always cool to see because its an office + bedroom...so very nyc.
I kind of really love it.

office space of the day...Ashley Stark's home office

pretty teal wallpaper + acrylic chair + grandma's vintage desk + hot pink skull {love}=
domestic bliss
Ashley Stark's bedroom desk area literally has had me swooning for days. The color of the walls, the white fur rug, the antique desk, the chair...EVERYTHING. Oh, and we all know my love of skulls at the moment.
While I love my plain white desk chair...I must say that I am really loving acrylic chairs in the office.
For some reason, I think I really must have one. I really enjoy the way the mix looks against colored furniture. It really just lets the beauty of the desk breathe and not be weighed down by a distracting finish or fabric.
or a pair of them looks great as well...
this yellow number is pretty adorable too...

office space of the day...dark and dreamy

something about this dark and moody workspace inspires me to work all day...
dark brown walls + double workspace + zebra rug + studded ottomans + built ins =
domestic bliss
Maybe there is something to working in a dreamy space, perfect for the creative type.

I am drawn to the coziness of the deep cushioned chairs and delicious wall colors.
It's the perfect winter home office, all you need are some yummy candles and you are ready to work.

office space of the day... art wall ideas

mod desk + beautiful blue chair + sculptural lamp + bar cart office tray + mix of artwork=
domestic bliss
I have slowly been creating a beautiful home office for myself. I finally found the perfect desk to fit in my apartment. It's black and glossy with the most beautiful legs. (i will put up a pic soon)
So now, I am looking for the perfect way to dress up the wall space above my desk...
and I love the way these collections of great pictures look above fabulous pieces. 
All black frames with white matting looks divine, but mixes of gold frames is an old favorite too! 
Curious to know what you guys have above your desk....? I'm would love some fun suggestions. 

Wallcolor Wednesday...prospecting purple

My newest client is the ultimate girls girl...
and her love of purple is similar to my own. That just makes me incredibly happy. So in attempt to create her living room dreams, we are starting with a plum/eggplant color on the walls. We are thinking of going with something like this below...and adding some gorgeous gold frames.
She lives in a pre-war walk up, with the most amazing molding similar to this utterly glamorous room below. I love the mix of different purples. That pop of light blue in the drapery is divine too. 
What a really good wallpaper can accomplish for you?
Style without too much clutter on the walls, similar to this pretty purple pattern.
This one is a favorite of course, and I think I might need that glass coffee table too.

Being that my apartment is a studio...
my workspace is basically my bedroom. 
So, today I am inspired by the beautiful workspaces situated right in the bedroom. There is something about it that is very hotel-like, and I secretly love it.
I love the mix of pretty purples in this bedroom, it's such a fabulous example of using the same color in different hues. 
After seeing all of these gorgeous photos, I am ready to jazz up my home office....again!

office space of the day...creative clutter

I am seriously so wiped out from all of the festivities and events of the past few weeks, I need to take a long, long nap. Unfortunately, it seems as they say about New York City, it never sleeps. 
 My clients home is getting photographed today and I can't wait to show you guys the photos, its outrageously gorgeous, you will die when you see it! We also are cooking up a big entertaining feature for the magazine too....

With all the madness going on in my life, things are a little scattered at the moment. While I prefer things organized and orderly...part of me feels that there is something so magical about the clutter of creativity.
P.S. Be sure to follow on Facebook as I will be posting "behind the scenes" pics from the shoot!

office space of the day...i'll never tire of a dash of pink

As I have been working on my e-book and spending hours at my desk...my need for the perfect office space is growing more and more. Unfortunately, I don't have that much space in my teeny apartment but I am going to see what I can do, it's a process. What I do know is that I  might have to add a little pink.
white walls + chic lighting + gorgeous seating + beautiful view + hints of pink =

I love these offices with hints of pink...

office space of the day...exotic prints in the workspace

I am having a curiously strong attraction to exotic patterns lately. They are so on my radar. How incredibly chic is the pattern-a-licious work space?

how fab are leopard stairs? I swear they will always be in style. 
I am a long time fan of zebra print in any color. I love these delicious drapes.
The mix of tiger print and tortiseshell. AMAZINGNESS!

The Art of Living...working at the dining table

One of the luxuries of working from home is that I get to work anywhere my little decorating heart desires. I am the first one to relish in the art of decorating your home office, but surprisingly, I have been working from the fabulousness that is my dining room table. 

We have an adorable desk in our living room that is the perfect workspace. On most days, it just won't do. I need ample space to spread out paint and fabric samples, art, my belongings, stationary, etc. So, I am utterly inspired by others who work at their dining room tables as I do...
I must tell you its a gorgeous dining room table and it works!

HOW TO ACHIEVE THIS OFFICE SPACE CHIC...

I have a small confession. Ever since I was a little girl, I have been obsessed with school supplies. This love affair has translated over now to home office accessories. If you know me well, then you know I am addicted to black and white stripes. I recently discovered a lovely site seejanework and I have to tell you, they have incredibly chic office supplies. Any of these beauties will work perfectly in any chic home office.
