Feminine and Fun Home Office

I think it so important to have a space that makes you feel creative, serves a desired purpose, and looks beautiful. If I could design my own home office, I think it would look something like this...


Beautiful faux antique writing desk from Noir Furniture LA. It is feminine and timeless. It is a great start to base the design.
I have wanted a ghost chair for years. It will juxtapose the old world feel of the desk perfectly!
What can I say? Every woman needs a little pink in her life. Christopher Spitzmiller makes the most divine gourd lamps ever!! They of course cost more than most sofas, but this is my dream office, money is no object.
This is another item that has been on my wish list for years. Stark's Antelope rug is just too good. I would even use this in my future nursery, or living room.
I would love a pair of these for a cozy reading area adjacent from my desk area. I would cover them in a creamy velvet.
If I didn't use this for drapes, I would cover the above chairs in this China Seas fabric. Pink, pink, and more pink.
I threw this in because it is like an unexpected, fabulous accessory. I mean does it get much cooler than a crocodile stapler? I think not. That is all for today.

Love,
Amanda

Jane's Nursery Sneak Peak

Here is a sneak peak of my friend/client's nursery for baby M! The drapes were installed today, but my darn camera is acting up so those photos will be posted shortly! The room is the softest shade of pink, Benjamin Moore, Early Sunset . The bumper, duvet and throw pillow are Pom Pom at Home. They make the most beautiful linen bedding! The crib skirt is a Kravet fabric, Marais Stripe in Blossom, and is perfect for a little girls bedroom. The drapes are also in the silk stripe. Now it is time to do some finishing touches, art, mirror, lamps, etc. I cannot wait for M to get here. I think she is going to be one lucky little girl!

Feeling Hot Hot Hot...Pink!

I was looking at my toes this morning admiring my new polish...feeling hot hot hot, opi, and got inspired! Not to mention July's House Beautiful had an amazing spread centered around hot pink. I looked through some of my favorite images and was surprised how many of them were pink! I feel it is a misconception that pink has to be a girly color. When done the right way, pink is a rich, and dare I say masculine color! If you don't believe me check out the images below! I don't see any bows....
