I'm not sure if I've ever featured a masculine office space before? If I have it's only been one or two. The elements that most caught my eye in this space are the finishes and textures. I wish I could tell if the walls are painted or are covered in a wallpaper; either way, I'm really attracted to the gray with the natural wood crown molding. These are a great complement to each other. We painted our downstairs and loft area last year gray, and we have light hardwood floors that I think looks really good together. So this combination is very familiar. The texture of the bookshelf looks as though it's brick, slate, or even wood. Sometimes it's challenging to tell because of all of the great innovations in design right now. Wood is now being made to resemble stone, stone is being made to resemble wood, and so on and so forth.
Did you notice the little bar tray on the third shelf? Now that's what I'm talking about! You never know what the day holds and what you're going to be up against, so it's always a good idea to have some spirit lifters nearby to help in case of an emergency, or a cause for celebration. I love the way the framed images are hung on the wall just below the bar shelf. That's not really anything that I've thought to do and I'm liking it a lot!

My dad is the man's man; no fuss, no muss, and a little messy (sorry Daddy), but I could totally see him working in this space. It has a masculine vibe with somewhat of a no nonsense ease. It is decorated in a collected way, but still well edited. The antique desk works great in a room that has a more modern sensibility, showing how the two can work together to create an office that is comfortable and conducive to getting down to business, as well as kicking up your heels and just reading a good book. I know this may seem rather insignificant, but the addition of plants and flowers in any space automatically brightens it and lightens the air. Oh, and let us not forget the placement of art!
Make it AMAZING!
