New Office, New Prints

I am in the process of re-doing my office.  I have been spending more and more time here (and less time working from my bed - productive!) and so I feel like it would be worth a small investment to make it a place that inspires me.

I love all aspects of decorating, from planning to picking out furniture, painting, and all the rest.  The thing about picking out prints for my wall is…I love it the most.  I don't play around with the big stuff, furniture and things, because I want to stick to something classic and sturdy.  The walls are where it's at.  I can switch it up, make it crazy, or tone it down.  And honestly, while I love the freedom to change my mind, I usually fall in love with certain pieces and can't bear to change them out.

But anyway.  This is the first house where I have had a room solely dedicated to being an office (and no, we haven't moved, it has literally just taken me 7 months to get to this point). I know that I want the place to be inspiring, calm, and a little quirky. I spent the better part of the weekend looking for prints for my wall that would encompass that and I'd like to share a few of my favorites with y'all.

And I tried to stick to prints that I wanted for my office (and that were affordable - save for the darling print, but gosh!) but I couldn't help myself and I found a few I'd like for other rooms as well. Oh well, I am a sucker for those cutesy, I-love-the-person-I-am-sharing-this-all-with-and-this-says-that-just-perfectly, prints.




I really like words, you might have surmised.  I am still looking for some photographs or illustrations, something to break it all up, maybe with a pop of color.

Where do you get your prints? Do you have a favorite etsy seller I should check out?  I love to know.

  5. Honestly, I would love an office! I have found that I really need to blog from the kitchen table because my productivity in bed is pretty much nonexistent - Netflix tends to win!

  8. Me too, I have always had a thing for maps, there's just some kind of romanticism about them.
