Monday's Office

Hello there!  I hope you guys had a fantastic weekend???  Mine was nice!  Deirdre and I went to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Showhouse on Saturday in the cold and rain.  We've actually become quite use to this since our trip to Paris!  Anyhoo, it was a lovely French inspired, 18,000 square foot home that was designed to the rafters with awe inspiring elements.  If you live in or near Atlanta, make sure you go.  The last day is Sunday, the 12th (Mother's Day). 

 

Yesterday, Pete and one of his work buddies, Scott joined myself and my painter, Mr. Rice and his son Robert to paint my space at the Room Service Atlanta project benefiting the United Methodist Children's Home.  It went well!  When the first coat of Cosmic Blue went on, I began to have a serious blue moment!  I thought to myself, "Oh Dear Lord, Rhonda, what have you done?"  I literally had to leave the room and go visit Jessica who was diligently working in her space.  Bless her heart, she did the best she could to calm my nerves!  Folks, it is going to be the brightest, most energetic space in the cottage!  Which is exactly what I was going for, but...well after the second coat went on, I began to feel great about my choice!  Whew!  I can't wait for it all to come together!  The moisture in the air hindered the drying, so I have to finish up the trim today!  Wish me luck; so not my thing!

 

 

I chose this office today because of the use of color!  I love the mustard yellow upholstery on the chair, the coral of the draperies, and the indigo on the inspiration board!  Check out that rug!  The basket weave pattern is fabulous!  Fabulous?  When was the last time I used that word?  Hmmm, not long enough I suppose!  But I do fancy that rug!

How was your weekend?  Did you do anything special, out of the ordinary?  Was it AMAZING?  Well, mine was pretty nice.  I got to spend time with my family and laugh a lot.  I turned my phone off yesterday and it felt so good to disconnect!  I remember when I would do this at least one weekend every couple of months and I would feel so refreshed come Monday morning.  I need to get back to that!  If it's happening Friday after 6pm through Monday morning before 8am, it can wait!

 

 

I love the light that this office is getting!  Wow!  I was so a tree, plant, or shrub in a prior life!  Nothing energizes me more than the sun!  I'm totally crushing on these chairs and how they complement the draperies!  I wish I could see the chairs in the foreground.  I bet this space is beautiful.  I mean, just look at all of the other details in the room!  Those wide plank floors would have me as soon as I hit the threshold!  Speaking of threshold, have you guys checked out Target's new home interior's line?  They have some pretty great stuff!  I hope to use some in a project that I'm currently working on.  Check it out!

 

I'm feeling a wee bit sluggish this morning, but what better way to get past it than to get past it!  Keep it moving and...

 

Make it AMAZING!

Happy April! Monday's Office

Ah April...it's so lovely to see you again.  I am so excited to see what you have in store for me this month!  My calendar is filling up quite fast with things to do and get accomplished.  I promise while working diligently tending to those things I will not forsake the joy and beauty you will bring.  I will practice patience.  I will remain steadfast in my efforts to live a balanced, healthy life.  I will give more time to the people and things that are so deserving, not taking for granted all they do to keep me grounded, focused, and loved.  Oh April, the wonderful moments you'll bring...

 

 

I am definitely having one of those days of self-reflection, so this quaint workspace with a lovely view of the Eiffel Tower is such a nice little escape for me.  I'm not all that big on new year's resolutions because I'm more of a "take the whole pie and slice a little bit at a time" kind of person.  What I mean by that is I prefer to set monthly goals because it is easier for me to measure and adjust where needed, if I miss the mark or if I'm on a roll, keep the momentum going.  With having said that and this being a new month, I have those goals set and written where I can see them, and I'm on my way.  They are not all professional goals, though.  Some of them are relationship goals that I've set because I've noticed how I've neglected some.  I'm not happy about that, but it happens.  The important thing is that I see the areas where I've fallen short and now I'm making the adjustments before it's too late.

 

 

I find it challenging, sometimes, to let go of things that are not working.  For some reason I seem to think if I hang in there and try different ways or do things differently, I can change whatever the situation.  Well, that isn't always the case.  So, when I've done all I can to get a positive result; whether it's work related or of a more personal nature, and it's still not adding up...that's when it's time to start subtracting and letting go.  As difficult as that may be initially, I'm always the better for it in the end!

Monday's Office

Wow! I so totally love the striking contrast of the dark color paired with the crisp white!  A very classic and sophisticated space that is made comfortable and casual with the open bookshelf, the basket of miscellaneous items in the corner, and the zebra rug placed randomly on the floor.

 

I have one of these types of desk chairs and was considering getting rid of it, but now I'm thinking I may just let it be my next DIY project and change the fabric and try to zhoosh it up a bit.  It's a great chair!  It moves so easily on the casters; it just needs a little makeover to make it not such an eyesore in the space.  Funny thing, I'm always drapping a jacket, scarf, or something over it until I can put them away.  I guess that's why the one shown in the photo appeals to me so much!

 

The classic urn lamp, you simply can't go wrong with anywhere in your home.  So, why not place it on your desk and use it as a task lamp?  This one sure is awefully pretty sitting on top of the cabriole leg desk!  I'm not certain my desk would ever be this clutter free, but one can dream...

P.S.  Yes, I had the most incredible time in Paris and I will be sharing many photos and my thoughts about the city of lights in upcoming postings.  I hope to see you there!

Monday's Office

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!

 



David Scott's gentleman's study at the 2013 Kip's Bay Showhouse

 

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!

Monday's Office

 

 

I really like the elements of this home office.  The desk is a lovely distressed turquoise that has a clear acrylic or glass top to protects it's surface.  The desk chair is an "of the moment" linen wingback with unfinished legs and a petite pillow to aid in lumbar support.  That pillow is very smart, not just because it is a pretty addition, but because this chair has a pitch that lends no lumbar support whatsoever!  I totally think the French chairs are a great complement! 

 

So let's talk about layering the floor coverings... Okay, I've always been a fan of this, always!  Natural fiber rugs are a great way to introduce texture to any space whether formal or casual.  Seriously!  I've seen some amazing formal living spaces that have been covered in wall to wall jute or sisal and then layered with another fantastic rug; oushak, tibetan, or zebra!  Obviously, I'm feeling this!  And then look at that little cute sheepskin lying next to the mama zebra!  I'm getting a little side tracked now!  Moving on...

 

I am so inspired right now by all of the incredible lighting that's trending.  There are some exciting metals to choose from, as well as interesting designs.  If you don't have room on your desk to do a lamp, then try a cool ceiling fixture or do a wall mounted swing arm lamp.  Be creative!  There is more than one way to skin a chicken!  At least that's what I've been told!  Another thing that I'm crushing on is shelving of any and all types.  I have a lot of "stuff" that I like to display.  Books, vases, jars, Foo Dogs, bowls, trays...the list goes on and on.  My point is I don't purchase things just for the sake of purchasing, although I'm sure Pete would have a different opinion.  I want to display my finds because they inspire me in some way or another and I love being able to look up and feast my weary work-driven eyes on something that motivates me to keep it moving!  I'm loving those gold cowboy boots on top of the cabinet!  I'm sure there is a story behind those!

 

And finally, art and photography should have a significant role in our interiors.  Have you ever been in a room that had nothing on the walls?  I have and it's just not right!  It's not finished.  Art and photography adds another wonderful layer of interest and depth.  It doesn't have to be anything pricey or considered a masterpiece.  I have yanked pics out of fantastic catalogs, matted and framed them, and hung them on my wall gallery style!  What's funny about that is people think it's this amazing photograph that I paid a grip for!  Ha!  I don't think so!

Monday's Office: Designer Matthew Patrick Smyth

 

 

I'm always intrigued to see how others work.  Well, their work environments.  I'm not all that interested in how they literally work!  Just thought I needed to clarify that statement!  I think a person's office, whether it is at home or in an office building; how they organize and decorate says a lot about them and how they approach their work.  I love the details of designer Matthew Patrick Smyth's apartment study.  The Hermes wallpaper is so fresh and uplifting.  How about that desk?  Wow, I love the desk top and the finish with the studs!  The custom bookcase with floating shelves is a wonderful way to feature those collected treasures that inspire and motivate!

Five Easy Steps to Maximize Your Workspace

Monday's are usually the day I post Monday's Office, but today I thought I would share with you the insight of someone who knows a thing or two about creating a more efficient and productive work environment.  Please join me in welcoming my guest Kenneth McCall, as he gives us helpful hints, tips, and ideas we can all use in our work spaces!

 

No matter how large your workspace is, there never seems to be quite enough room to properly store and organize your work materials. Even worse, taking on the project to improve the situation can be overwhelming. There is no doubt that organizing the personal or professional office space will be on many New Year's resolution lists. Sadly, procrastination will leave many of these lofty goals unfulfilled...yet again!

Don't worry. Help has arrived! You really can improve your workspace if you put your mind to it. The best approach is to break down the project into several tasks. Be sure to set aside some time outside of your normal work hours for this project. Here is a blueprint to get you started.

1. De-Clutter: The first step is to remove everything from the office or cubicle that you simply don't need or use. This should include both work items and personal items. I know it's hard to get rid of stuff, but you really don't need two staplers, three years of your child's artwork or that framed Certificate of Achievement for learning to use the new copy machine! Be sure to take this opportunity to thoroughly clean the freshly exposed work surfaces that have been accumulating dust and grime for years.
2. Digitize: If you have hard copies of documents in addition to soft copies on your computer, toss the hard copy! If you only have hard copies, consider scanning these and storing them on your computer. Be sure to organize your computer files so that you can easily find these documents.
3. Furniture & Fixtures: Now that you can visualize your remaining workspace and storage requirements, take a close look at your office furniture. What is your biggest problem? Do you need more desktop space, storage space, room for a guest chair, etc.? If this is a home office, there is almost no limit to furniture choices available to resolve your problems. If you work in a cubicle at the office, ask your administrator for some help. You'd be surprised how accommodating they can be, especially if ergonomic issues are involved. Below are a few tips:
• Many furniture outlets and websites now offer affordable office furniture in a wide array of efficient configurations. Be sure to consider durability if the furniture will get a lot of use. You get what you pay for!
• If you need more durable furniture on a budget, there are creative ways to achieve this. For example, an old door can be placed on two low filing cabinets to create a large, strong and functional desktop. Wood storage cubes can be used for books and materials. Garage sale finds such as armoires can easily be converted to efficient storage.
• Cubicle manufacturers now offer a multitude of accessories to meet your needs. In addition to the standard file cabinets, desktops and binder bins, many manufacturers now offer hooks for your coat, shelves, storage cabinets, trays, lighting, sliding doors, etc.
• Get your "desktop" computer off your desktop! These are best stored under the desk. If you don't want to put it directly on the floor, you can purchase fixtures to facilitate this. Use a clamp-on arm to hold your flat panel monitor. Use a keyboard tray under your desktop. Untangle the computer cords and tie them up neatly.
• Use tall book cases and cabinets to get the most storage from your small space. You can also add shelves high on the wall to store less frequently used items.
• Evaluate your lighting options. Use hanging or clamp-on lights to maximize desk top space. If you are stuck with harsh white fluorescent lights, consider buying fluorescent bulbs with a more pleasant light spectrum. You can also purchase sleeves for the bulbs to adjust their brightness.
4. Organize and Prioritize: Divide the remaining work materials into two groups. The first group includes items that you use every day. The second group is less frequently needed. Concentrate on storing the everyday items within easy reach of your normal seat location. Store the other items in less convenient areas. Purchase containers, desktop file holders, trays, etc. to optimize storage efficiency.

5. Personalize: OK...now that you have the essentials out of the way, it's time to add back some personal items for comfort and fun. A small plant, family photos, artwork, etc. are all fair game when used in moderation. Be selective! If you are into Feng Shui, you may even consider adding a small mirror in a strategic location.

By following these simple steps, you will find that your productivity will soar. Best of all, these improvements will make you feel better and greatly reduce your stress level. Even your co-workers will thank you for that. Good Luck!

Monday's Office or Dining Room...

Today's work space comes courtesy of Aerin Lauder's new Manhattan office conference room.  This image struck quite a chord with me.  First things first, it's gorgeous!  I love the clean simplicity the walls and furnishings lend.  The amazing piece of art on the wall, makes all of the other elements all the more beautiful.  The natural fiber flooring grounds the airy space and brings a very tactile quality to what could have easily become somewhat of a one dimensional space, although a very lovely one!

 

 

So, now to why this space struck quite a chord with me.  My home is a two story, three bedroom, with a separate living room, family room, eat-in kitchen, and dining room.  As my business has grown (yet not to the point of me renting office space), and my collection of samples, resources, and the like have grown along with it, I need a suitable space.  I was thinking of turning my dining room into my office.  I love the idea of having a chandelier in there!  Yes, my children love to eat in the dining room.  This is actually their room of choice for eating our meals.  I guess I can understand that, since the kitchen table is where they typically do their homework.  Not such great memories made there, huh?  

 

Anyhoo, I would have to buy new furniture because the existing dining room table and chairs look like they belong in a dining room (as they should), but not a room that serves dual purposes.  Since this room is small, I would like to do a table that doesn't take up much visual space, with chairs that can be used, really, in any room.  So, I will be pondering this thought to see what creative ideas I can come up with.  In the meantime...

Monday's Office: A Wall of Inspiration

I hope you all had a terrific weekend!  Most of my Saturday was taken up by work, but it's okay because it had to do with a project that I'm totally stoked about and anxious to begin work on!  Sunday was spent doing laundry, decorating the Christmas tree, and preparing dinner.  You know, domestic type stuff!  I know at least two of my friends who will find that comical!  They don't really view me as the domestic type!  Ha!  Shame on them!

 

 

Having a space carved out in your office, wherever it may be, to hang inspirational photos, quotes, objects; whatever the case may be, is totally worth having and worth the work to put together.  I know for me, I spend a great deal of time on the computer browsing different sites sourcing for projects and just trying to keep up with what's going on, until it is refreshing and nice to be able to glance away from the computer screen at a wall of images, etc. that inspire, energize, and motivate me to complete the tasks at hand.

 

You may want to have a selection of your favorite books or magazines handy, a pretty vase of flowers, something lovely and colorful, anything that will give you a moment of rest and a bit of a reprieve from carrying out your duties.  Oooh, it could be really cool art or black and white photography that speaks to your soul and resonates with you on a level that gives the refreshening of taking a brisk walk in the cold winter air.  Did I really just go there?  Yeah, I did didn't I!  I just want you to open your mind to all of the possibilities that your work space can be with a zushing up!  Tasks are easier to accomplish when you have something right there nearby that can perk you up and give you the verve to persevere!

Monday's Office Space And The Journey To Find It!

I hope everyone had the most amazing Thanksgiving holiday weekend!  Mine was filled with spending time with my family, cooking, and getting the house ready for Christmas decorating!  O my gosh, we went to a Christmas tree farm and cut down our very own tree!  We've not ever done that before and it was totally a lot of fun!  I may upload the video I shot!  Hmmm, I don't know, I hate the way I sound on those things!  Anyhoo, lot's of fun was had by all!!!

 

Before we get to the actual images, I would like to be forthcoming and say that often times I am somewhat lazy, yes lazy, when it comes to searching for the original credit for photos.  Not that I am trying to take credit for the beautiful images that I post, that's just wrong; but sometimes finding who shot them, the publication, or the designer is a daunting task.  I do feel like everyone should be given credit for their work!  It's only fair and it's the right thing to do.  Therefore I will always cite my source.  With Pinterest being so huge right now and being able to capture the site an image was pinned from, it makes it a lot easier to find, as well as the use of Google Image Search.

 

 

So, I first saw this image on Pinterest, of course, and pinned it to my Work Spaces board from Ashlina Kaposta.  The Decorista, herself pinned it from The Dust Jacket, a blog much like my own, edited by Debra in the Australian countryside, which led me to The Rag Rug blog, edited by Saani and Joona in Turku, Finland.  This is their studio, where they work, entertain, and live.  I love, love, love the desk!  It takes up so very little visual space and is very clean and modern!

 

 

I wish I could have an all white space, but unfortunately I would need to clean daily (maybe a couple of times daily) in order to not be overrun by dust bunnies, unsightly marks, and God only knows what else!  A large mirror leaning against a wall is never a bad idea!  It was recently brought to my attention that I have mirrors in every room in my house.  I really had not ever noticed that before.  Really!  Isn't it funny that someone who notices details did not notice this in her own home?  Interesting... I will analyze this later, for sure! 

 

 

I really need to get some of these lucite organizers!   It makes it so much easier to see and grab whatever is needed without wasting precious time going on a scavenger hunt... Always a fan of having things like books, magazines, photos and posters in plain site to become apart of the decor.  Speaking of organizers, I am such a Container Store fanatic!  I could spend hours in there planning an efficient and organized work space, pantry, laundry, kitchen, etc.  Oh, and they have some of the best gift wrap!  No, they didn't pay me for this plug (I wish they had), but they do have some great stuff for wrapping lovely gifts!  You should totally check them out this holiday and let me know what you think.  I know, I seem to wonder off topic sometimes!  I did say this blog was about my "random musings", didn't I?

 

I am very grateful I do!

Monday's Office

The countdown to Thanksgiving has begun!  If you're working this week, find excitement in knowing that it will be a short one!  One that ends in taking time to give thanks for all that you have and all that you are!

 

 

What do you think about this space?  Is it your cup of tea?  I actually happen to like the wood flooring along with the Greek key rug.  The style of the desk is a great choice painted in white.  I'm really vibing on the Missoni inspired upholstered desk chair and I also think what a wonderful way to add character by introducing draperies to indicate windows that aren't even there!  A very symetrical work space that is easy on the eye and not difficult to pull off.  This one is made special by the color, pattern, and interesting elements that was selected!

With A Man In Mind: Reed Krakoff's Manhattan Office

As I was perusing through Architecturaldigest.com, I came across an article featuring designer Reed Krakoff and his Manhattan office.  If you're not familiar with his name, maybe you are a little more so with the leather goods brand at which he is the president and executive creative director, Coach.  In 2010, he launched his namesake fashion label where he creates a clothing line that includes accessories, handbags, and shoes. 

 

 

Okay, this table is so beyond!  I am so that person that needs to spread out while working, and what better way to do that than on a stunning piece of art like this table by Joris Laarman! 

 

 

I have books and magazines spread about my work space, but they just don't look like this!  I'm jealous!  But I suppose if I had such a lovely sculptural piece in their midst (such as this table by Jeroen Verhoeven), then maybe just maybe, my clutter would be just as artistic!

 

 

There are those times when I am able to have my desk looks like this; nicely styled and wonderfully organized!  It just doesn't look like that today!

 

 

I've often professed my love for framed wall compositions, so it should come as no surprise that I find this one to be inspiring as well.

 

 

Hmm, is that chair the same one that is in miniature in the image before this one?  A-maz-ing!

Monday's Office

 

This "teen lounge" was featured in the 2012 Atlanta Symphony Associates "Decorator's" Show House and Gardens, designed by Bryan Alan Kirkland Designs.  What a lucky teen to have a space like this to chill, entertain friends, and relax!  I would love to have this as a home office to make work feel a lot more glamorous!  I love his use of color, pattern, and finishes in this cozy space.  He created such a rhythmic balance between the wall covering and the upholstery on the chair, as well as the rug and the lighting fixture.  The clear lucite table doesn't take up much visual space allowing the dress maker details of the custom banquette to be seen.  The wooden pedestal that holds the colorful glass sculpture, in my opinion, adds a grounded sensibility to the space along with the desk that is somewhat visible in the foreground.  The magenta pillows are all the pop this room needs to further it's luxe and glamorous feel.

Monday's Office + Interior Designer Kate Hume

I don't know about yours, but my weekend flew by!  It was great!  Both days I spent time with friends laughing and talking and...anyhoo!  I even managed to get a little work in.  Hmm, came to some realizations as well.  That's not completely true.  Just a couple of things that I already knew, but was thinking it was something that I didn't really need to tackle right away.  NOT!  It's time to tackle them and plan for them accordingly.  Moving on...

 

 

This office strikes me more as one suited for a man, but I can see the softer persuasion using it as well.  It just needs a few more feminine elements.  I love the simplicity of it with the unexpected zebra rug.  I wonder what profession is the person who uses this space.  I would think no nonsense, astute, but with a sense of humor; not taking themselves too seriously.  What do you think?

 

 

I really like the rich wood finish of the cabinets in this library.  Still very modern with simplistic and functional details such as the ladder and the long arm task lamp mounted to be used when needed at the table below.  I'm not all that sure about the black birds/crows perched in front of the gentleman's portrait?  A little too Alfred Hitchcock for me!

 

 

Wall compositions are a wonderful way to add interest and character to a space.  I love the cabinet mounted on the wall in the midst!  How great is the low cabinet below!  Such a well designed wall and room!

 

 

A really chic, luxe closet!  That flooring looks incredibly soft and it complements the wall covering nicely.  I'm ready to move in now! 

 

 

This is the picture that began the journey to finding the other great images.  I pinned this image on Pinterest and searched the original source to find Kate Hume, and amazingly talented interior designer.  I hope that you will visit her site and take a look at the incredible designs she has created around the world in interiors, furnishings, and glass accessories.
