P.S. I kind of think that my frustration with my office is because I am super busy with work and it is an unnecessary distraction to daydream about an organized and inspiring space…

First, here are a few spaces which get me inspired and anxious to be creative!

Love the windows & crisp color palette!

I like the eclectic and functional feel of this space.

Multi-functional yet bright and open!

Since my office also doubles as my dining room, I need to consider dining seating.  I love this photo and I already have this table!

Love the floor mirror and the soft blue/grey of the chairs!

I have been scouring Craig’s List and finally came across these super cheap chairs that I will refinish for my office/dining room.  See my colorful inspiration photos below…

Definitely in need of some TLC...

Now, these are my before and in progress shots…

I moved my desk in front of the window, feels more open and kind of like Sex & the City!

I've started to accumulate more stuff that doesn't fit anywhere...

I ordered a matching desk which works as my new credenza! Yeah!

Much more organized but it needs color!

Stay tuned for progress updates!

Without owning my own home, remodeling my kitchen is not in the immediate future.  But someday in a place far, far away… i will own a kitchen inspired by these elements.  Hopefully, inspiring someone else to cook!
