Home office continued

It’s Sunday afternoon in sunny South Africa and it feels like my favourite season, Spring/Summer is peeking through the fading winter season. You have no idea how happy that makes me. I love this time of year and for some reason I just feel so much more alive during this season.

I am also extra energetic and feel like I can take on just about everything! Which is a good thing, because I have  so much on my to-do list

Number one on that list is decorating my home office space so I can have a place which is comfortable, inspiring and most of all organised. At the moment it feels very cold and empty and does not do anything in the inspiration department.

I have an idea of what I want and how I want it to look and can’t wait for it to be done. I have enclosed pictures of attractive spaces and items I would like to bring into my space.

Nice and light

I'm definitely going with black and white

Loooove the black & white pictures

Gold accessories and office stationery

I absolutely love the clipbaord idea

Home office - update

Hi everyone,

This is a quick update on the tresle desk I mentioned in my previous post. I've completed it last Saturday already, but didn't get around posting. 

I must say it was much easier than I anticipated it would be. Only thing about the sealant is that I had to apply four to five coats to get the desired outcome. I am very happy with the way it came out. 

Now I have to start decorating the space. I need to get a chair (which will probably be another diy project), stationery, a rug, prints for the walls, etc. 

I really want the space to be beautiful and enspiring so that I will always enjoy working there. I will have to choose the items carefully and not just buy anything because I want the space completed quickly.

However, I have a few ideas and it shouldn't take long to complete the home office area. I will be sure to keep you guys updated so look out for that. 

Here's the photos of the table:

The end product!

Thanks for coming by. Chat soon... Ciao!!

Home office

I have been hunting down ideas for a small home office area for the past while. I’ve decided that instead of buying a new table I’m going to work with what I have. And what I do have are these two trestle stands. 

My favourite go-to place for inspiration of ANY sort is Pinterest. And as per usual, when I see the sea of options, I’m torn apart and can never make up my mind what I exactly want. Since I would like to take on the project myself I have to make sure that it would be easy enough, so I chose ideas that would be easy to execute. I think I would also like to go with the basic white and wood colour scheme which I am completely crazy about at the moment. To spice things up I will add a pop of colour when I assessorize, etc. 

The table in the below photo is more or less it... I think the white and wood combination goes together very well. 

So, today I went to purchase the table top which is 1800(height) x 600(width) x 20mm(thick). See picture below:

I also bought x2 types of wood sealant. One in "snow white" which I will use to paint the stands and another in "clear" for the top to retain the natural wood colour but also assist with protecting the wood. I am more or less set and very excited to start the project!  

I have added photos below to help with inspiration if you are on the same mission as I am. I will post pictures as soon as the table is done :-)

   

Thanks for reading... Ciao and see you soon !
