desk du jour

i love her inspiration board and the nailhead trim on the coral-hued chair, and i'll never object to a big wide desk and a stack of design books.

papered corners

at a staggering 5'1", i think i have an innate attraction to all things fun-sized — so long as they still pack a punch. thus in addition to providing inspiration for those with less space than they might like, these tiny little spots strike me as downright, well, darling.
who knew an unexpected dash of wallpaper could do so much for a room? this mosaic pattern plays off the navy walls and turns a useless corner closet into a pretty place to [albeit inefficiently] stack books.
another architectural eyesore is transformed with colorful wallpaper and smart shelving. i find that there's nothing like a chic white mac computer to deem a closet corner both high-tech and high-style. (the ghost chair doesn't hurt either!)
