I Need a Home Office
So my family and I recently moved into a new apartment which is really great. I decided to take things slow, look around and make bigger better purchases in this new place. Taking things slow sounds much easier than it actually is. I'm starting to learn a few things in the process of designing my own home, for example, don't under estimate the power of a good fragrance candle. It really creates a feeling of home and peace. Another thing I've picked up is don't ask your husband "his advice" on a piece of furniture or accessory. He will either tell you to wait and look around, which really means "wait and look around so you get distracted and forget about the purchase" or he'll ask you "didn't you just buy something similar?" For those and other reasons, it's best to keep the husband out of decor decisions.
My next project is the home office. It's always good to have a home office, whether you're working or not. It's a good space to designate computer time, hobby time and organize papers. I'm in the middle of looking for some inspiration to go off for the office...
So there's this which I really like. It's small and sweet and is probably most productive for those who can work from a laptop - that would be me.
This is Art Entoure Interiors, love this room. I'm heavily leaning towards this, the natural wooden table with the chair. I am loving that watercolor painting. My office wouldn't have an apple computer though. I would have the loser half cousin of apple; toshiba.
This is the office of Lonny's editor in chief Michelle Adams, Lonng Mag. I love this office. It feels chic and rock and roll. It's so cool I'm questioning my ability to pull off an office like this.
This is so sophisticated and glamorous. I like the built in shelves, I love the white side chairs and cowhide. The wooden desk with the globe on top reads a little elementary teacher, but I'm into it.
This is a sexy color palette.

I really like a lot about this:
Gallery wall- check
tan leather chair- check
gold hexagon stool- check
black and white cowhide- check
I don't know if I'm mature enough for this office space though. I feel like I can't make any mistakes in here.
So whoever is reading this blog (besides my mother) what do you think..any favorites?

Your mother had to get out of her bed and light a candle in her bedroom , in middle of reading your blog , in order to get a feeling of home and peace .. Btw love the glamorous and sophisticated office the best .
Love you blog, Chana, and love that you are doing what you love best and what you do so very well. I really like those first two offices the best, the small efficient and uncluttered ones. I have a small area for desktop but I can never keep it as uncluttered and open as the ones in the pics. Any suggestions? The bookcases that are on either side of the desktop--it is legless and comes out from the wall--are full so it's hard to store anything else there. Wishing you great good luck. Love, Clara
Hey Clara, so happy to hear from you. To keep your office more organized, you can get containers for paperclips, pens, notes etc.
What are the bookcases filled with already? You can buy a chest, or a credenza and store things in there.
