With a few weeks left before our move and our current apartment looking like a warehouse – I can’t wait for the extra space! Having an extra room means so much – 1. finally a separate office space 2. when we have guests visit they can actually have their own room, not our living room 3. I will have my own closet in our bedroom – all pretty epic things if you ask me!
Since our current living room space also doubles as our office space, a few of the bigger pieces are going to be moving in the newly designated office, like our leaning desk that has held up incredibly well over the last 5 years & a shelving unit that we currently have behind the couch – like this one from Ikea, but without the wheels.

I’m excited to have a little reading nook with our petal table and wing back chairs that I scored from Home Goods a few years ago – since we aren’t planning to have a couch in there, these will be great when one of us (read: Gary) is watching TV in the room!
Of course just like any room – it’s going to need a few special touches that can only be done with shelf styling, which I feel I am horrible at!! I do plan on getting this “New Home” candle because who doesn’t want good vibes in their new space?! I was really thinking of doing all white for the furniture with gold accents, but with all our pieces already having the dark wood coloring, I decided to skip the work and add brighter colors through accent pieces.
Definitely going to add a little pop with colorful picture frames!
I’ve also wanted really pretty bookends for the shelves for quite some time, but don’t really want to pay a ton for them – I found a great pair on Amazon for less than $15 AND they come in 7 different colors!
What else should I add to the office space?
Your office is going to be so pretty! I love the idea of having a cozy chair in there – that will be so nice!
Office inspo is some of my favorite stuff! literally yesterday I bought tons of stuff for my desk in my office! Obsessing over the stuff you picked! Huge fan of the gold and pink and white!

Our office is my favorite room in the house! You're going to have so much fun putting your sweet touches on yours!!
My living room is also my office, so I totally understand your excitement at getting a separate office area!! Loving your inspiration pictures- and those pretty colored picture frames!
All of these photos look great! I'm already jealous of your new home decor, I know the room will turn out very pretty!

So exciting to be able to decorate the new space! Love your inspo.
So much gorgeous inspiration! I can't wait to see how it turns out. Those bookends are such a chic STEAL!
your own closet, how exciting! they are definitely all epic things. i love all of your office inspiration, you have such great taste! a reading nook, how exciting! i want one of those π
How fun are those bookends?! And yes, a guest room is so amazing! When Knox was born, we turned our guest room into his nursery, and are currently without a guest room. I can't wait to move into our next house for that very reason: to have one! π
Your inspirations are always so light and airy! And yay for having a guest room and office nook!
That first office is seriously my dream office. LOVE! Obsessed with those bookends too, I can't believe they're only $15! I think I'm going to have to order some for my work office…and home π Why not, right? <3, Pamela

This is all such great inspiration! I am redoing my office at our house and I've been searching for ideas too. I'm looking for a desk just like the one in your first picture. I'm so obsessed!

Love these inspiration images! That leaning desk is a great way to add extra storage in a space! good to hear it's held up well too.
How fun it will be to decorate your office space! I love those bookends!
That leaning desk is so fabulous! I found my new house warming gift in that candle! What a great gift idea!!

Love this dose of inspo, especially where the desk and shelves are combined, such a chic idea! And lovely with a new office area! Haha would love one too, just for the sake of decorating! Xx

Going to check out those bookends immediately! I have a couple of unmatching ones I've found at home goods over the past few years, but even there they can be expensive sometimes! I love that you're going to add pops of color to the darker wood– that will look so pretty!
I can't wait to see your finished space!! I love the wall shelves, so pretty! You are going to have so much fun putting everything together!

Beautiful inspiration, you need that tufted chair! I've been on the hunt for a nice globe for our home office, loving the one you posted! Can't wait to see what you guys do with the new place and all the much needed extra space <3

Having a separate office space is so wonderful!!! We got Chris's office set up when we moved in our current house but mine never happened. The room is basically a storage room and where the dog crate is. Next house…next house. Haha! I love those bookends!!!
Aww love the new home candle! You have to get it haha! I've never seen a desk like that with the shelves! Glad it's held up! So excited to see the new space!! Happy Wednesday!! Xo
So pretty!!! I love the excitement of moving into a new home. And we def have a little reading nook in our bedroom for when my husband is watching ALL the sports and I need some reading space – haha ~Hannah
Decorating our office has probably been one of my favorite parts of the move! I did a little reading nook and it's my new favorite spot in the house! Love all your inspo!

I would love to own a chic white office desk ! I love the one in the first photo you posted ! It's perfection !
I have a feeling your office is going to be pretty spectacular!
Yessss to all of this! I have a room that I've designated as an office but done very little to – that's on my list before the year is over!

The light fixture and chair in that first picture…swoooooon.
I LOVE bookends. I saw some really cute ones at Target the other day and I almost snatched them up for only $10! Now I'm regretting not buying them! π I can't wait to see your new place come together – your inspiration is gorgeous!
I love all this inspiration, girl! You're giving me some ideas, too, as we'll be moving this upcoming weekend! So, I definitely relate to your place looking like a warehouse, mine does too, haha! You know, I've always seen those beautiful agite rocks at Homegoods, but have never purchased them. I didn't even think of using them as book-ends! Thanks so much for mentioning this, now I'll defiantly be buying them! I'm also loving the look of those pretty marble-like shelves, so pretty! Thanks so much for sharing, girlie, and I hope you have the best day ahead!

This post is identical to my Pinterest board! I can't wait to see what you do with your new space!

Loving these inspirations! It is so fun to design your own space!
I love the ladder type shelving!
I love all of these! You know my office was done with a lot of gold, so it's definitely my favorite! And that is going to be awesome having your own closet… that was my favorite thing about moving into our current house as well… at our old house we had TINY closets and we had to share. There was no room for anything so I had to use a clothes rack and it was just sitting out in our spare bedroom. It was horrible!
Love all of these inspirations! Having your own office is clutch. I can't wait to see what you do with it!!

Having the office space, a guest space and your own closet will be huge – I can't wait to see after you guys move in! Your inspiration is all so perfect and I love the leaning desk that you already have!
I love agate touches, I have a few down the shore.
Excited for you to have some more space!
That's awesome that you're going to have so much extra space in your new apartment! All of the pieces that you have your eye on for your new office look so beautiful, and I'm so jealous of your reading nook!
Love all of this inspiration- I'm SO excited to decorate our office! Even though Ryan says I'm still going to blog from the couch lol. We'll see!

I am telling you, if I ever hit the lottery, I am contacting you and will hire you to design my entire home!! OMG I LOVE YOUR TASTE!! I have an "office" (but it looks NOWHERE NEAR as good as yours), and, I don't use it….I work at the dining room table because there is no TV in my office lol. Your taste is just exquisite!!! xoxo catchatwithcarenandcody
Moving and figuring out how you are going to arrange and decorate your new space is always a ton of fun!
Such gorgeous inspiration! Isn't it so exciting to decorate a new space?!
I'd say they are all pretty epic. Having more space is going to feel amazing. I love all of your inspiration and can't wait to see how it turns out. Beautifully Candid
ALL very epic things, so so exciting! I am loving your inspiration and those book ends are a seriously great find! Can't wait to see it all together π
Yay! It's so exciting decorating a new place and one that gives you more living room. The office furniture and decor you picked out are so clean & elegant. Once the boxing up, moving, and unpacking process ends, then the fun begins! I can't wait to see how you decorate everything.
I LOVE this decor! Gorgeous xoxox
I can't wait to see what you come up with! Keep counting down the days. I know how you feel! >_<
Oh my gosh, yes!!! I love these inspo pics. They make me want to redecorate my office now!
