Are you scared off my that ridiculously long title?
As you can probably tell, my brain is running on tangent mode this morning so I'm cramming beaucoup junk into this one post.
To start, I've got my office/studio on the brain.
I suppose I should back up a bit and tell you the reasons for my current obsession:
1. I'm painting and storing everything for Wink of Pink in a corner of my kitchen...new pretty marble and copious amounts of paint DO NOT MIX.
2. My teenager is packing up for sweeter university skies in the fall, which means her bedroom...which PS...is a giant dormered loft room over the garage...will soon be up for grabs...and I'm taking.
So...yes, I'm dreaming of an office/studio/lounge space...all for me...and since it's ALL for me, I'm going balls to the pink girly wall.
Yuppers...this space is going to be all sorts of this business...
Gold and pink #'d books - check.
My own artwork...of the new blacker variety, which I PS, just added to the shop (cue shameless plug of own store;) Oh and one of the acrylic ones which you can ::whispers:: use as a tray (cue second plug) - check.
The gold geometric wallpaper I first spotted at Furbish - check.
Black and white graphic stuff to balance out all the pretty - check.
Also, since spotting Bailey's dining room....
I've think I maybe have become a little obsessed with the idea of super girl power balloon valances...

I just might take that plunge...though it would definitely tip the scales into major fembot territory...I'm probably OK with that though;)
Also, I need a bar cart to be set up/look EXACTLY like this one...

Oh and also....my DIY IKEA desk will be in there...
...with some excellent chair I have yet to source.
So that's basically it.
A girly studio which will:
1. Provide me with tons of spacial inspiration...of the pink variety.
2. Give me tons of room to blog, paint and house things like these new DIVINE frames I'm thinking of ordering up for ze shop...
PS- would you pay like 50 bones more than this kind of custom framing?
Really want to try them out but also don't want to throw my new plastic Canadian money out the window.
And I think that's all.
Now go and buy up lots of Wink of Pink goodness (and that makes #3 on the plug front') so I can afford to do all of this.
K.
Thanks.
Love hearts.

Ok so much to say to this incredible post!!! #1 so amazing that you're going to have an office/studio!!!! And um wow your plans for decorating are INCREDIBLE. Cannot wait to see it all come together! #2 definitely would pay an extra $50 for those frames
ReplyDeleteOooh, a studio/office! I hope your daughter doesn't feel TOO put out that you're taking over her room the minute she steps out the door. (If she does, she'll get over it. Just make sure there's somewhere comfy for her to sleep so she'll still come to visit!) I can't wait to see it all come together. Pink, gold, black and white - it will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove love love it all. Major jeals of this loft space you speak of. Can't wait to see it come together. And your new pieces are absolutely stunning, my dear.
ReplyDeleteWowzers you got a lot in that one post!

It is going to be amazing! I am in desperate need of a studio/desk, my little desk is just not cutting it anymore. For now I will live through you!!

ReplyDeleteYour DIY pink IKEA desk is gorgeous!! Don't we all love Tim? wink wink!
hope to see you soon C! it has been awhile and I miss ya!
I think the new room will be pink heaven. Yes, on the frames as I always end up reframing things because the frames are just
ReplyDelete"there" and I think the right frame is as important as the right lampshade.
Where can I get a bar cart like the one you showed. I have searched and search and found one on Amazon that got awful reviews.
Must possess.
That is all such an overload of gorgeousness I need a lie down! somewhere to completely decorate just for yourself, very jealous - you must be so excited :) x
ReplyDeleteIt's like being inside a parlor. Really cute!
ReplyDeletethose pink and gold books are divine. A DIY on my neweset to-do list for sure! I think everything you pick out is so lovely. Can't wait to see the space, I might kick my one year old out of her bedroom to get an office space like this asap. Is that too soon?
ReplyDeleteI want to know what you can't do?!?! You are superwoman. Love your new pieces and you!
ReplyDeleteWhat makes this post awesome? It has a very interesting topic with fine pictures as inspiration and references. And your ideas to bolster your office space? Simply fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love your ideas, Christine! I bet you’re already done with the changes in the room. So how’s the room by the office now? Are there any updates? I’m a little curious and very much interested on how in turned out. :D [Blake Mitchell\]
ReplyDeleteYou have wonderful ideas for your office space! By the way, were you able to do all the redecorations/ renovations that you wanted? Like Blake, I also want to see the new look of your office. Post pictures of it too. Thanks!
