Fancy an office tour? Sharing some snaps.
Office tour time! Our new house came equipped with this beautiful dining room right off the front entryway. The only problem was: Dave and I have zero use for a dining room. Instead, I pictured this room repurposed as my home office– something I didn’t have in the old house, where I’d blog while perched on the couch. I would have all the space I needed, plus a ton of natural light courtesy of the quad bay windows at the front.
Since you guys really loved the tour of my beauty room, I figured I would share the office now that it’s done. Shall we dive in?
Here it is! Pretty girly, right? So curious, because I’m not naturally very feminine-leaning in my style taste, and yet my office is, all white with blush and rose gold accents.
The first thing to purchase was a desk, and I loved the idea of an L-shaped one. Modern is totally my style, so I pulled the trigger pretty quickly when I saw this bad boy. Not a bad price and it gave me some configuration options in case I wanted to switch it up in the future.
The open shelves gave me space to display pieces I’ve picked up when Dave and I travel, a couple coffee tables books on beauty and style, and a few pieces I inherited from my Grandmother (like that bone abacus you see above; I used to play with that thing all the time as a kid!).
The chair (and blush throw) came next. Then an area rug. I’m obsessed with round rugs right now; this one was such a good buy.
You might recognize my print of the Trevi Fountain as a piece that previously hung in my dressing room at the old place. With those pink and baby blue tones, I knew it would be perfect here. Even though I bought this when I was in college (ages ago!), you can still get it here.
I’ve found little gems that have streamlined and organized my desk. I use this rose gold multi-USB all the time; it’s handy when you need to plug in more than your laptop ports allow. This pencil holder is a chic way to keep my pens in order, and I use this Bluetooth speaker to pump some tunes while I edit.
I’ve got a little vignette in the back of the office– it’s been one of the last spaces to come together before I could launch this office tour. A(nother) rose gold table with an oil diffuser (yes, it’s white marble because I am the most basic), an astrology book (I’m basically a witch), and then a little credenza for storage.
The office faces west and is bright all day, so I couldn’t resist filling it to the brim with plants. If you’re new, hi, I’m Ashley, and I’m a crazy plant lady. I like to be surrounded (read: inundated) with succulents, porthos, palms, and really anything green.
The office gets a ton of natural light thanks to the wall of windows and gets pretty warm in the afternoon, so really, my office doubles as a little greenhouse. I re-potted almost every plant pictured here; some because they were new and needed permanent pots and some because they had been transplanted from the old house and were in that decor style. It seemed like a good time to re-pot everything in something slightly bigger (to give ’em room to grow) in pots that fit the aesthetic of the space (lots of white, cool-toned gray, and marble).
