Let’s face it, working is not always fun; but one way to make it less painful is to have a super cute desk.  What would my perfect desk look like?  A clean white a parsons desk with lots of gold accessories.

Super cute, right?!?

I’m feeling a little nostalgic today.  I’m an LA native and it’s been great being back home, but I definitely miss New York.  So… for my first before and after, I’m showcasing my Hell’s Kitchen apartment

BEFORE:

White walls and parquet floors… yikes!

Blinds hiding a pretty good view

DURING:

I was having a blast… my husband, not so much

AFTER:

We went with a light grey on the walls with a fabulous plum accent wall.  The shelves (ikea) came with a back board, but I choose not to attach them in order to let the plum show through.

When living in a 670 sq. ft. 1 bedroom in New York, rooms have to do triple duty.  I put a sideboard behind the couch to separate the living and dining room and added a small desk too… oh, and did I mention the view?  Love!

Ciao for Now,

♥♥ Vicky

DIY pipe-and-wood desk

Absolutely loving the look of this! I don’t need a desk, but I DO need to try this project… anyone else need a desk?

Well, it’s a new year. Time for fresh starts and getting back to basics. And if you’re looking for something that’s basic and fresh, look no further than the classics. Not your mother’s classics, these pieces are simple yet elegant and full of style.

After working a short 11-hour day yesterday… I found myself organizing my office.  No, I’m not crazy, nor do I particularly enjoy organizing, but every once in a while, when I’m in the mood, organizing can be cathartic.

Another thing that helps organization motivation?  Cute accessories 🙂

Here are some organizing essentials to get you going.

1. Cork board | 2. File Folders | 3. Magazine File; all Container Store | 4. Binder Clips; Little Fixations, Etsy | 5. Folder Filer; Target | 6. Notepad; Snow & Graham | 7. Bookshelf; Container Store | 8. Letter Holder; Target | 9. Bicycle Paper Clips; Container Store

 

What gets you motivated to organize?

The fairest of them all…

There’s something about mirrored furniture that’s just so chic.  It has the ability to add sophistication, glamour and elegance all at once.  From a practical standpoint, mirrored furniture makes a room brighter by reflecting light, and adds just a little bit of sparkle. While I don’t recommend too many pieces in one room, having one key piece can really make a room.  Best of all, you can find mirrored furniture to suit any design style. Here are just a few options for you to… reflect on 😉

Traditional Glamour

Mirrored Coffee Table – Horchow, $569

Mid-century Inspired

Mirrored Console Table – Crate and Barrel, $699

Sophisticated Contemporary

Mirrored Buffet – Z Gallerie, $1,199

Eclectic  Chic

Mirrored Brass Side Table – Overstock.com, $210

Modern Simplicity

Mirrored Parsons Desk – West Elm, $599
