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!

Wallpaper I LOVE!

Wallpaper is by no means a new "trend." It's been back in style for a few years now. That's why I'm surprised I've just now discovered Studio Nommo - which has a gorgeous collection. I have designer Ashley from *i'm smitten* to thank. She designed one of my favs, the "Foxy" wallpaper.

The card from *i'm smitten* that was reinterpreted into wallpaper.

Below are some other designs from Studio Nommo that I like


I've been liking feathers a lot lately


This one's titled "Things on my desk" Great for a home office!



Love the pomegranates!

You can also design your own wallpaper by uploading a photo or illustration to their site. See more at Studio Nommo

The National Stationery Show - my favorite display

*thanks Bev for the spelling tip* :)

I didn't attend the show this year, but there is tons of coverage to be found on all the beautiful art, papers, and latest stationery trends on various blogs. When I was walking down 7th Ave. in Park Slope last week I noticed that the local paperie, Lion in the Sun, had a gorgeous window display - below are a few pictures and the link to the blog post where they talk about it's creation.

Adorable isn't it?! Next time I walk by I plan on bringing my camera and snapping some of my own photos. I also noticed noticed on their blog that they mentioned the display being inspired by the display of Hello Lucky’s Trade show booth from the NSS. So I did a little internet sleuthing and finally found some photos of their display on the blog Oh So Beautiful Paper.

Check out their beautiful version too -

I hope you find this as inspiring as I do - I think this idea could translate well on so many mediums - you could draw little frames with a sharpie on a linen or canvas inspiration board and pin your inspirational cards, photos, etc. within the frames, you could buy a natural colored picture frame with a wide border and draw on the actual frame a more ornate frame, what else? Any other ideas?
