Color !

Bright colors look good no matter what size your space !!!!

Clever...

Sorry I have not posted in a bit, the kids going back to school and some new pets have thrown me off a bit ! Loving these pictures here, they show storage with style and the bedroom with the wood headboard is just cool !!! Remember, always think outside that box !!!

Nice Home Office Spaces

Very stylish home offices....love em !!!!

Pretty in White....

Loving the white in these smaller rooms....

Small Wonders...

Sometimes small is better...

Bold Wall Art

Sometimes, in small spaces, people think they can't use larger scale art on their walls. I believe that the opposite holds true. I especially love the first picture, children's books used as art (and the fan lamp ? BRILLIANT!)

Rich Colors !!!

Who says you can't use rich dark colors in small spaces !!

West Elm

Loving the fall lines at West Elm, so cool ! I've always wanted a window like the one in the first picture...wowsa !

Ideas for your home office

I love looking at other peoples home office. I can get tons of ideas from home office pictures. I read a story the other day that the desk top computer will soon be dead. I'm sure that will change home decor somehow, but, you always will need a desk right ??

Pottery Barn Sneak Peak Spring 2010

If only spring started Dec 26th.....

Use Your Corners !

When space is limited, look to the corners of your rooms. Shelving, bookcases, all sorts of possibilities!

Holiday Sneak Peak

I know its not even Halloween but once it starts getting a bit cooler I think a little bit ahead to the holidays. I love Christmas greens and small touches for the holidays. Whats your holiday decor like? Over the top? Subdued ?

My home office

A few post ago a discussion about home offices and how to hide all those cords came up. A few people wanted to see my home office. Well here it is, nothing too fancy, and as you can see, CORDS! Its not really that noticeable and YES I know I need to straighten that mess up ! My desk top is a cheap closet door stained brown sitting on top of 2 file drawers . I love my hotel cubby because I can stick tons of stuff in it and keep my desk straight. My chairs are mismatched because I do not have 3 of the same and right now, it does not bother me.

Home Ofiice

Although these home offices are decorated in different styles, they all are stylish and efficient. I do wonder about how they hide all the endless cords, my home desk is 2 file cabinets with a stained closet door as the top. It hides ALL the cords :)

Using Every Bit of Space

In small spaces, it's easy to think you are just plain out of room for anything else. If there is a spot in your house that does not serve much purpose, rethink it! Space above the bed, that blank wall when you first walk in the door. Rethink every spot in your home. Also don't feel like you have to have certain things in certain rooms. A home office can be in your bedroom if it works there for you. Decide how your life flows and design your home around YOU!
