I’ve wanted a room of my own since I read Virginia Woolf’s words, “a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write.” I cannot agree more. I didn’t have a room of my own until now—my own office. Anyone who lives with another person knows you often compromise on how a space looks and feels. But this room is all mine. I’m thrilled! Here is some of my inspiration.

Approaching the decor for the room, I’m thinking about the textures and colors I love, the places I’ve been, as well as pieces I think reflect my personality. 

Loving traditional chairs upholstered in vibrant hues, vintage pillows, quatrefoil mirrors, this Rene Magritte print that makes me think of identity and perspective, lush orchids, the dreamy painted textiles of this Matisse print, a mirrored desk, a brass elephant because my mother always had elephant figures in her home, furniture with undulating lines, a pretty pouf, a dressed up lamp, and silk weave rugs. All the makings of a room that is beautiful, elegant, and indulgent. 

I’ve found lots of beauties at GiltHome and my newest favorite, One Kings Lane.
