The holidays are behind us and now it's back to work! To help motivate you on this cold Monday morning, I have put together a post featuring inspirational office spaces, followed by a guide to help me you create your own spiffy office space or improve your existing one--much more fun than working...
The inspiration:
via Style Me Pretty
via Neiman Marcus
Aerin Lauder's Gabriella Crespi desk via Harper's Bazaar
I found the following to help recreate a similar office space based on the inspirational images above. Read on...
The desk is the focal point of the office--I love the following four kinds:
1) Mirrored:
$499 from Z Gallerie
2) Lucite, acrylic, or even glass:
$379 from CB2
3) The "X" desk:
$1,950 from Jonathan Adler
$159.99 from World Market
4) And--as I'm saving the best for last--the infamous Gabriella Crespi "Z" desk:
$449 for a set of two
from Ballard Designs
$64.93 from Goedeker's
Let's be honest, fun chairs don't always equal comfy chair (beauty is pain, right?), so here are some plush pillows for you back...or your bum:
$38 from Whitlock & Co.
$70 from Spark Modern
$26 from Willa Skye Home
Lighting is key:
$7.50 from Row House 14
$12 from Charm & Gumption
Some inspirational art:

All beautiful inspirations and finds Emilie! I need a small one for me too, right now all I have is the kitchen office which the kids dominate. Love the stapler!
Yes! You deserve a grown-up desk from which write that beautiful blog of yours!!! The gold stapler is my favorite, but alas it always seems to be out of stock--let me know if you find it!
I just bought the west elm parsons (though in green)...loves it! now I just need to add some pretties like you listed. thanks for the inspiration :)
Sooo jealous! Post pics when it arrives and gets all dolled-up!
What a wealth of inspiration for my upcoming office makeover. Glad you gave a source for the ghost chair. I was worried I might have trouble finding one. Happy New Year Emilie!
Happy New Year! There seem to be some out there--just have to dig a bit to find a good one ;) Have fun with your makeover--I hope to see updates!
Every time I see my desk, I wonder....why don't I have a little vase stuffed with the most beautiful flowers? After seeing your post, I'm going to make it happen! Now back to work I go.....
