A while ago I shared my temporary workspace (currently at our dining room table!), and I’m ready for the real deal. I’m so tired of eating dinner and looking at my computer and thinking about work. I spend so much time here and I want a space that’s functional and inspiring, and most importantly a separate and dedicated space, whether that’s an entire room or a corner. So I thought I’d put together a little roundup of inspiration for the space. I’m so excited for this little makeover project! We’ve been debating whether to turn our guest bedroom into a full-fledged office or put my workspace in part of our living area. We rarely have overnight guests so we’re tempted to get rid of the guest bed, but I really want a bright, well-lit space and our guest bedroom is a little gloomy. So I think we might add my desk to our living area and make it work. Living in a small space and renting has its challenges, but I’m grateful for the space we have. We’re taking it slow but I’ll be sure to share the space when it’s finished! :)

I’m totally with you on all the bright colours and clean lines – the less clutter the better

Glad I’m not the only one answering emails and eating dinner at the kitchen table! John has a big old desk in our living room, but I’ve never been able to bring myself to work there!

this is such a great round up! i’m in the process of revamping my workspace and this is the perfect set of inspiration for me. i’m really obsessing over the jones chair since my current office chair is an uncomfortable plastic type (but it’s bright yellow so of course i love it, haha).

Oh fun Erika! Yeah I would highly recommend the Jones chair! It’s cushioned, good for posture, and so comfortable. :) Can’t wait to see your space! xo
