Styling the Desk - Kate Spade

Kate Spade

I love the vintage Chinoiserie toast rack for letters. I use one in my powder room for guest towels.

One Room Challenge Preview

Tomorrow on Week Four of the One Room Challenge, I will be showing you how to knock off this $1700 Worlds Away gold leaf desk for $60 as well as my picks for styling your desk.

Saturday Inspiration

I hope you are all busy choosing or working on a post for the Blue and White Bash over at The Pink Pagoda on Monday. All the details are here. Speaking of details, I want my desk to look like this. You can find the pens and pencils at my friends iomoi and lots of great vintage brass crocs and gators on Etsy.

iMac - A Thing of Beauty

Tomorrow I am off to the Apple store to replace my old iMac with, of course, a new iMac. I thought it would be fun to see some chic work spaces with this stylish and iconic computer. We start with the chicest office of them all belonging to J.Crew's Jenna Lyons. Note how many of these spaces have Chinoiserie - Chinese Chippendale chairs, pagoda lamps, gourd lamps, Chinese screens - Apple and Chinoiserie are a great combination. Accessorize with fresh flowers, a Baies candle, and a sheepskin draped over your desk chair.

To me the iMac is the most beautiful computer in the world, inside and out.
