Throw Pillows!

I love throw pillows. LOVE. What decorator doesn't? It's such a great way to add color and texture to a room.









I found some great sources on Etsy (where else of course?) and wanted to share them with you:

sukan shop (made from antique kilims):

Oldies but Goodies

Sure, I'm happy that Domino is back (online... sort of). But what I really miss is Cottage Living. That magazine was pure gold. Luckily there are some photos still online here. Let's reminisce, shall we?





















Happy Friday!

The "Non-Office" Office

I found this image on Canadian House & Home, and it's titled The "Non-Office" Office.



I love the name, because it's just what I'm going for for my office!

Last night I was working playing on the internet in my office during Top Chef, and my husband was up watching with me. I knew we wanted this space to function as another TV watching area since we don't have a TV in our bedroom and sometimes we want to watch different things. I really enjoyed having him up here with me!

I've shared this image before, but I love India's "Non-Office" Office, which is pink like mine :)



What makes a "Non-Office" Office? In my opinion - the addition of a sofa, a TV and art!

Erika of Urban Grace Interiors also has a fabulous "Non-Office" (Home) Office:





Another beautiful "Non-Office" Office from House & Home:



This is a real office from Carrier & Company, but take note of the desk accessories:



Impeccably styled!

A great use of color from fellow blogger Joi:


Do you guys have a "Non-Office" Office? Send them my way and I'd love to post them! brynalexandra at gmail.

And in case you are curious... here's my to do list for my office (which is probably more for me):

+ DIY and hang Roman Shade
+ Bulletin boards (yes plural!)
+ Drapery
+ Finish polishing hardware (blah)
+ Paint desk drawers (I still have yet to do this)
+ Assemble other BILLY bookcase and style/organize bookcases
+ Reupholster settee ($$$, may have to wait on that for a bit)
