OFFICE CHIC

Updating the home is awesome, but because I spend most of my days in my home office, it is definitely a MUST-DO this new year. In order for inspiration to flow - I need it to be neat & CHIC. How about you?? 

I put together some of my favorite office accessories - these items will definitely bring a sense of chic to any office. Come on, replace those 1990's vases & lamps, what better way to start then NOW before the new year!! Here are my suggestions for updating your office space:

1. quartz bookends high street market // 2. madeline weinrib // 3. black dots abstract via made by girl // 4. gold miami vase via zgallerie /// 5. horn pencil cup high street market // 6. black is the new black pencils via made by girl // 7. regina andrews alabaster lamp via horchow // 8. rae tray via tory burch //  9. fresh flowers via bloom flowers nyc // 10. gold+white notebook via hattan home // 11. gold+black notebook via made by girl // 12. gold+lucite tape dispenser

Preparing To Re-Decorate - Help!!

Ok - so I sold several items of furniture, Hurricane Sandy hit NY, president Obama was re-elected, snowstorm hitting NYC as we speak & we'll be moving next week. With all that said, I've been busting my head thinking about how to decorate the next place!

I LOVE decorating but my husband doesn't understand my passion (he'd say obsession) with what will go with what!!?!? I'm certainly NOT an interior designer, so I'm asking designers or non-designers to pls give some quick input on what you think looks best. We no longer have our white french provincial sofa, it was SOLD. Boo hoo. 

However, the show must go on & I'm ready to select a new sofa, this one to be exact from Jayson Home & Garden in a velvet fabric.  I've already purchased the Madeline Weinrib greek key rug in 8x10" you see below & am keeping the Jonathan Adler lamp as well as the white IKEA floating shelves & white leather daybed (I hope). I'm also bringing with us our white lucite coffee table, I think it will make the space appear spacious because it is clear.

The Dilemma: I have no idea what color fabric to choose for the sofa. What do you think would work well with the rug below?? The rug is a blueish color with off-white Greek key around the edges. Based on the pieces you see below, what color would you select for the sofa?? YES, the python benches will be included in the mix & the sofa will also have a set of bolsters on each side of the arms.

Below are some swatches - any of these colors? or something else???

I'd love to hear your thought!

Madeline Weinrib.....amazing textile designer.

I'm a BIG fan of Madeline Weinrib's textile deigns. I've been on the hunt for cushions lately for my new sofa and for my white upholstered sofa in my main living room. Madeline's designs are brilliant & I hope to one day have a couple of her cushions in my own home. Unfortunately, I don't know of any shops here in Las Vegas that carries them. However, if you're looking to get a hold of some, take a peek at the locations section of her site for your town. Lovely!!
