Fantastic Finds and Design ideas for a Cozy Inviting Home Office!!

Good Evening fellow friends and Bloggers!! I recently realized I've never written a post about our new home office (in progress...that is) which is basically where I spend a significant amount of time focusing intently on various aspects of school work including lesson plans, grading papers etc, listening to and discovering new music, and blogging, which I do with extreme enthusiasm. It's definitely important to create a warm, welcoming space conducive to creativity, inspiration, critical thinking, and relaxation in a home office, especially if you plan on spending a great deal of time in the space. Here is our home office in progress :

 I always make it a point to put function in the foreground, so organizing is extremely important when designing a home office. I constantly use labels, storage containers, shelves, and cubbies to maximize space and functionality!!

I've been in search of a fantastic picture, piece of art, or sculptural decor for the corner of the room to the left of the window, where we just placed a large tan leather chair and ottoman, and today I came across this beauty :

Purrrrfect!!!! exclaims Cece, as she casually strolls over to the empty brown box, and puts it to great use!!

I digress...Anyhow, about the picture, I Absolutely love it, and will definitely be hanging it soon!! There are still a few more items I'm interested in adding to the room such as additional storage, an awesomely inspirational area rug that picks up on all the vibrant blues, chocolate browns, and timeless tans in this progressive home office space. Hopefully those two items will tie everything together and we'll have one adorably stylish office.  

Stay tuned for future Home office updates!! Love ya!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
