I mentioned last week that along with yellow and blue, I wanted a bit of pink in my office. This is kind of what I’m envisioning:

My office is in one corner of the house on the second floor so it has windows on two sides. There is one big blank wall, which I plan to use as a giant inspiration wall like so:

On the other free wall, I’m going to be hanging a bunch of my own photography – I think all in white frames. And this leaves a little wall space on the third wall for some other artwork. I don’t normally buy prints but this print spoke right to my nomadic heart. And with that pink and yellow palette, it fits right in with my color scheme. I ordered it last weekend and can’t wait to get it. [I can't remember on whose blog I first saw this print although I do remember leaving a comment;  if it was your blog, please let me know so I can thank you!]

I also had hubby take down the ugly ceiling light in there last weekend. I (well, he) will be replacing it with the yellow Tord Boontje Midsummer Light that I’ve had for months. It’s actually yellow and green but I’m planning on just using the yellow part. The backdrop for everything will be black and white: black sideboard from our old dining room, the white Kartell Glossy table from the kitchen and two white Panton chairs.

Blue, yellow, with a little pink . . .

I love it when a plan comes together! Have a great weekend, everyone!

I’ve been creating little “moodboards” to gather ideas for all the rooms in our new house. I say “moodboards” in quotes because they’re not actual boards; they’re magazines, books, clippings, etc. laid out all over the floor in my office.

This is what I’m thinking for my office – big hits of yellow with some blue, a little black & white and a smidge of pink thrown in. The pages are from Côté Paris, Livingetc., Elle Décoration France, Elle Decor and the book Simply Scandinavian, which I’ll be reviewing later this week.

What do you think?

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 . . .
