The Office
Did I tell you about our movers? They started out awesome. They hustled and hauled everything into the house super fast and everyone was happy. Then they started unpacking. Oy vay. Let’s just say, it would have been better if they had left everything in their boxes. Despite my best efforts to organize everything ahead of time, nothing is where it should be and it’s especially bad in my office. Well, yesterday I decided it was the day to tackle it. But when faced with the disaster before me, I decided I needed more inspiration so I went online and found these:
After that, it was time for dinner so I never made it back into the office. Maybe today . . .

My mental image of you is decidedly fuzzy, but I can definitely see it sitting (fuzzily) at the desk in beautiful image number 4 there. There's an element of the Parisian Grande Dame of Blogging about it which would suit you perfectly. I must just pop off to edge my own curtains thus.

Great eye candy! I'm so wanting to start planning my office, but will probably not be able to get anything done before next year. Probably because I have a wedding to plan!!! Wohoo!!
Hope you're enjoying the house!!

The first and the last would keep me working all day. Well, maybe not actually working, but I wouldn't leave the office all day.

I LOVE that white chair at the top!

I can't believe they unpacked for you! That would have driven me up the wall! Either way, you found some gorgeous inspiration photos to help motivate you to tackle the problem!

Office photos are my favorite to look at. Probably because my home office is a diaster zone.

Hi Ally!
I wanted to give you a link where you will find some new ideas. It's a spanish site in Argentine for the Living Magazine, It's in spanish, but go to ¨Galeria¨on the left botton of the picture and check it out. Hope it helps.

Looking at pretty things online always helps clear my mind too…I hope it gets easier and the mess just takes care of itself

Ha! Well, I'm sure you'll get there… All in good time. I love that second shot – I'm completely smitten with the way the (magazine pages?) are arranged on the wall… Not so smitten with the mess on the floor, but that's just me. OCD, you say? Why yes, of course. But I'll tolerate it for the sake's of styling.
xo,

That is one way to get the job done…they unpacked for you? That certainly would modivate me to organize! After moving my boxes sat for over a year in the garage until just recently. They, and their contents, were very easy to ignore.

well you definitely have some good inspiration to work from! good luck unpacking

Great office inspiration!
mise: I love that title you've bestowed upon me! Oh, but the pressure to live up to it . . .
Dagny: I remember!
Wedding definitely takes priority over office!
Lucy: Thank you for the link. I can't wait to check it out.
Janell: Yes, unpacking was part of the deal. In hindsight, we might have been better off if hadn't been!
That last one for Elle Decor is way too clean and neat to be someone's real office. I prefer more lived in office space, like the one with bits of paper strewn about on the floor. That's more my style.

Messy or not – but how fun to get to create your own lovely spaces – from scratch! (And I am so ejoying the ride!). The last image is wonderful! A little too organized, perhaps, but, the colors are beautiful and the lamp adds some unexpected drama. I like that!

I love the one with the curved desk and the one with the black walls. I wish I had the nerve to paint a room black!
Of course I'm also crazy about those light airy rooms.
That's my problem. I can't settle on any particular style!

I love the second photograph. So interesting to see how creative people work…

That last photo makes me swoon. I want to recreate for myself SO badly.
Hope you manage to get everything organized quickly. I hate when my stuff is in a jumble after moving. It's hard to be settled and harder to find what you need. Good luck!

.-= Design Darling´s last post ..pretty in pink and just in time =-.
What great inspiration, good luck! I'm sure it will look spectacular!
lol… at least you found some gorgeous inspiration!
The first office is beautiful. I love how much light it gets. Hope all of these images inspired you and your getting a lot done today! Good luck!

Oh I'm so excited to see what it all turns out like. You MUST share pictures!
How frustrating! I've actually never paid for movers to pack/unpack my boxes — mostly because I'm afraid they won't get anything in the right place!
.-= Averill´s last post ..Love is…. =-.
beautiful thing in here: the wall lamp on the last shot is beautiful; the black walls with all those photos on the wall, very inspiring (i've my walls full of colourful post it and photographs); the mix of white and woodedn furniture gives so much character. love this post!
Averill: And that is exactly what happened! It all depends on the movers though – the ones who did our last mover were great.
Am I nuts? I actually like to pack. And really like to unpack. Heavy lifting? Not so much….
