Space Redesigns Organizing is on my mind so I thought an office redesign would be suiting for the New Year. {It must be the fact that I’ve spent nearly all weekend in one closet or another – please tell me I wasn’t the only one doing that}.
And now for a break down of the goodies:
- I wanted a fun color palette with a gray undertone and I think I achieved that. I envision white walls with an orange accent wall {the wall that the desk will sit against}. A perfect mandarin color, I think, is Sherwin Williams SW 6891.
- The desk is simple and beautiful, no. It comes from Room & Board… one of my favorite places to shop these days.
- This chair is also simple and fun. I love the curves and color.
- This rug is a great foundation for the room. Wouldn’t this room be perfect on a room with tile, or wooden floors?
- I added this ottoman for extra seating and for a little extra storage too. Sometimes when I’m working at my desk, I like to prop my feet up.
- Every office should have a file box to keep you organized. And of course, I love the orange color of this one.
- A simple lamp for a really great price. I love this lamp!
- And a birdie print for some wall art. I think this is the perfect little touch to this room. A great conversation piece, and something to keep you inspired.
I hope this redesign keeps you motivated to get organizing this New Year. An organized office is a productive office, or something like that. 
P.S. Don’t forget to take our New Year’s Survey… we’d like to know what you think about our site and what we can do better.

Pretty Stuff I was introduced to a Flickr Pool called Furniture Redo via How About Orange and thought I’d share some of my favorites. I love repainting older furniture pieces for a great new look! (In fact I’m repainting one of my pieces now! I’ll share shortly!) It’s super easy and gives you a whole new look!

Pretty Stuff When I say mobile you probably automatically think of the mobile hanging over a child’s crib, right? Here’s some great mobiles that would work great in a modern bedroom, office, or living room!
Try this one from Spunky Sprout.
Or maybe this one from from Spin Designs at Etsy.
Or this one from PukaPuka. They’ve also got a DIY kit if you’d like to make one yourself!
