{ office hours }

A friend of mine just moved into a new apartment and is currently planning out a little home office for their spare bedroom. She asked if I had any suggestions for a space that would primarily be hers, but also suitable for her boyfriend to work in occasionally. 

(Uh, chyeah.)

Don't get me wrong, I like sequins and pink just as much as the next gal, but I'm beginning to accept that there is definitely a part of me that's very much drawn to a more masculine first layer, with more feminine pieces drizzled on top, if you will. 

I'm currently obsessed with Bashful by Benjamin Moore, and this is a perfect example of my favorite way to use it. In a room of more masculine furnishings, the peachy pink hue envelopes the room and softens each piece, making it fit for a lady but still apropos for a man. Win, win! The fun mint file cabinet (which I just happen to have been lusting over for several months) also serves as a side table between the two side chairs facing the desk), and lends a bit of color and fun to the space. Actually, the lamps would also be a great place to inject a little more "her" in the room, but I kind of dig the simplicity of the black. Plus, the finish on them still makes it all feel just a touch "glam." 

(Oy, I really detest that word.)

As you can tell, I couldn't find the perfect painting to sit above the credenza just yet, haha. I'm thinking something with a bit of that mint color in it, but so far I haven't found anything that seems quite right. 

Any reccs? What kind of environment do you prefer to work in? Do tell!

Thanks for stopping by, all!
