Gorgeous home offices

Working from home, it is VITAL to like your work space. It can't have too many distractions and must a comfortable place to sit for long periods of time.

Here are a few yummy home offices I really like:

via House to Home

A nice space for a seamstress. I can't wait until I have the space for my sewing machine to live permanently. Now I always have to take it out and put it away when I use it.
via Martha Stewart

Love the cubby shelves
via Lyrical Journey via Emily A. Clark

All of the little shelves in this desk are great for stationery enthusiasts
via Real Simple


I ADORE this home office - a desk with generous surface area, and inspiration pinned all around

Cut down on the amount of holes you poke in the wall by just running some string and clipping inspiration to the string

Such a clever idea - chicken wire is stretched in an empty frame and used as an inspiration board!

Some decorating ideas to inspire your long weekend

Well, folks, I've spent this morning lovingly scanning, cropping, and trying to get rid of the horrid stripes my scanner leaves on my images - guess you get what you pay for. Anyway, we have a long weekend, and, if on the off-chance you'll be indoors, I hope I leave you with some yummy ideas to incorporate into your decor. Happy weekend!


I love "high beds." The quilt on this is gorgeous, too.

The stool above was a stuffy, dark, upholstered piece. It was repainted white and the upholstery was replaced with a glass top.

I've never seen the idea of little pictures hung in a grid under one larger picture - but I like it!

Hanging a picture on a bookshelf is an all-time fav. look of mine!


If you have/find some pretty brackets, you could use this idea and safe some floor space by creating a "nightshelf," as opposed to a nightstand.

Organization inspiration and tips

When it comes to pretty and practical organization, nobody brings it like Martha!

A shelf over a door creates instant extra storage.

I love the homey feel of this office

If your fellow inhabitants don't really believe in sorting mail, atleast you can avoid stacks of it be designating an entryway organizer for everyone.

I love this medicine cabinet, just find some thin metal sheets at a hardware store, some magnetic containers (these are very popular and can be found at places like Bed, Bath, and Beyond.) Just make sure that if you mount anything inside the door that you can close it.

we really need a boot tray...

A simple shelf that folds down is a great way to extend window sill surfaces. *tip, this is also a great idea to ad on counter space *

mount grow light underneath a shelf, and you can have flowers year round.

these following images are just for gratuitous prettiness...




If only I had such great light!
