I feel like I'm always spotting cute little workspaces like this — and then noticing they are conveniently devoid of computers. Don't care. This looks like the desk of someone unconcerned with cruel deadlines (I'm tempted to tag it "fantasy").
While we're on the topic of offices that put underlings in their place, how about this stunner? I love how boss lady gets a comfy Eames, but the guests get something stiff-backed and Gustavian.
I have been working crazy hard since I came back from vacation, and the craziness looks like it will only intensify until Thanksgiving. So, if there is less blogging going on, that's why. But let me take a moment to fantasize about working here, in this very imperious office. It looks like if I met with someone who displeased me, I could just send them upstairs to be executed.
Or forget working all together. Why don't I just be crazy rich? Then I can just buy a palace, paint it grey, and install lavender sofas. Sounds like a plan.
It's black and white, but letting the wood grain show through gives this space so much warmth. A modern take on the country cabin.
The colors of this paint-by-numbers-style headboard seem so peaceful and perfect for a bedroom. (Apparently, the Russian Wolfhound is only allowed on the bed for photo shoots.)
A succession of black rooms with white trim, in Paris. The furnishings are casual, minimal, and it's just the paint job that's upholding the glamour quotient.
A great-looking guest bedroom from blogland.
I don't know why, but new leather sofas don't appeal to me, and worn and lined ones do. (More here, here, and here, in case you doubt my devotion.)
A bold fabric hung on a wall in a simple white room. Instant large-scale artwork.
