It’s that time again. Time to redo, refresh, and revitalize my workspace. My current space is decent, but after almost two years of moving around in it, things could be better (aesthetically and functionally). I’ve also decided that our current his/hers office setup doesn’t really work when one person is super organized and the other thrives in controlled chaos. So, we are separating our spaces—he can keep his action figures and stacks of recycling, and I can have my aesthetically pleasing, organized office. These are things you learn along the way.
The goal is to slowly gather key pieces and create a space that feels cozy and allows me to comfortably put in long hours of freelance work. One of the first things on my list? Finding the perfect office chairs in Christchurch—because comfort and style should go hand in hand when you’re spending hours at your desk!
Here’s my mood board for the space. It’s always evolving based on what items I’m able to source, but I’m pretty happy with the direction. Keep in mind that all my personal items, desk, desk chair, and artwork are not included in the mood board, but will be included in the space later. I hope to create a space that is clutter free and brings new life to several vintage pieces. What do you think?
Love all of your room re-do items! Can’t wait to see the finished product! I can only imagine how inspiring it will be when it’s done! XO
I NEED that green cabinet in my life!
I’m also the tidy organised one, and he’s the clutter monkey. We plan to share an office space once we get a bigger place…perhaps a divding screen may be in order!
I am also redoing my workspace and have even pinned a few of your goodies that I’d like to add.
