need an inspirational place to work? look no further!
Wed, 12 8, 09: 11.54 AM
To say that my current home office is currently uninspiring would be a drastic understatement. How can I create inspired interiors for others when my own workspace is so...well.... lacking. It has all the great bones for becoming a great office but right now it's kinda dark, which does nothing for this girl who lives for bright color and pattern.
So I hit my magazine tears and favorite image collections on the 'net to find some inspiration, and did I ever! I know which way I am going to take my office design, but I thought I'd share some of my favorite photos with you. It should come as no surprise that many of my inspiration photos came from French shelter magazines -- Parisians really know how to do a lot with a limited amount of space!

These are gorgeous!!! Love the red, black and white office. All these have amazing use of shelves.
I LOVE all the shelves too! Oh, too have enough shelving space to hold all the crap I manage to amass *ahem* collect :)
