Think back to lazy afternoons filled with a cup of coffee and a Cottage Living; weren't those the days? I'm sure you remember the series where Cottage Living took a functional room or space and showed you four different styles to make the space your own. I loved that series. In fact, I do believe it was my favorite section of the magazine.
So then I thought - hey, why not pay homage to our late Cottage Living and do something similar? One of my favorite features in this master bedroom room, from another dear fallen friend Domino Mag, is the console/desk area under the TV.
I was imaging in my head how to do something similar myself (but not actually for our home..). And voila, 3 Ways Series was born!
I've created three desk collections with different decor themes: Traditional, Modern and Eclectic. Each collection is designed with the desk space in the inspiration photo in mind. I believe with the advances with modern technology, offices in the home are going to become obsolete. With online bill pay, laptops, wireless printers, etc all you really need now is a desk, chair and a few little accessories.

I hope to do this little design series often. If you have an inspiration room request, please feel free to send them my way to brynalexandra at gmail dot com.
Oh, I just love that bedroom of Katie Lee & Billy Joel. What a fantastic new series you've started. Look forward to others like it.
