How to Create an office
space you'll want
to spend all your time in!
I looked around and saw a room
that needed desperate help,
our make-shift office.
You know that area,
your computer and bills live there.
The area that gets a lot of face time;
doing paperwork, chatting with friends online,
helping with homework...
and it inevitably ends up looking
like a tornado hit it!
Remember:
One can have organization and function without
skipping out on style...
There are two types of office styles I am
currently thinking of trying to create:
(they will be no surprise to my
regular readers)
1)Vintage with a touch of Industrial
i.e.:
cues from old, disused warehouses
by using a balanced mix of concrete and untreated wood,
tarnished metal and supple fabrics.
2) Scandinavian Style
i.e.:
Light, refreshing colors, clean-lined furnishings and a
that needed desperate help,
our make-shift office.

you can relate to this need too!

Just like any other room you have re-decorated,
you need just
collect a few key accessories or unique storage
items,
they can act as
the inspiration for your whole room!

Ikea storage boxes 2 pk for $3.99,
and they come in a few different colors
can be found at many stores, at a variety
of prices, New or Vintage!
(be sure to peek at my post about lighting)
many different types of container to hang from
them! look in the kitchen section of their website.
Lovin the chalk board wall too!
found on Etsy or Ebay..
So, say one cannot choose, and I decide to
do a little blending
of the two styles?
It could turn out quite lovely!
This one is my fave, Industrial Vintage,
with a little
pop of colors!
