Home Office

Recently, I started working from home. And while I wish I could say that I have an adorable and inspiring home office space, the truth is that I work from my kitchen table, which resembles the image above. By the end of the day, my back is killing me!

So, I’ve been searching the Internet for inspiration on what I could bring into my home office. As soon as we finish the basement downstairs, I plan on setting myself up down there in a more comfortable and productive environment! While I was researching, I came across Fashion For Home, an awesome furniture store out of the UK, that lucky for me [and you!] has a US site as well.

So far, my favorite item on their site is the Klemmbrett Blue Table. Wouldn’t it be the perfect desk? Spacious, yet fun and stylish with that bright pop of blue! Pair it with a comfy [obviously!] office chair and some cute accessories, and I’ll be good to go.

If you’re in the mood for browsing some great furniture and home accessories, go have some fun at Fashion for Home! Me, I’ll be doing more home office planning instead of working! If you work from home – do you have an office or do you stick to the couch or kitchen table?!

Robust changing table

Materials: BEKVAM kitchen trolley, wood boards Description: We needed a small changing table for our newborn. Since both of us are students with limited income, we decided IKEA was the place to find a suitable changing table. The only one small enough to fit in our bathroom was SNIGLAR, but I thought it looked weak and rickety.

Varde counter drawer hacked by kitchen sink

Materials: varde counter, boholmen kitchen sink, atlant strainer, edsvik kitchen faucet Description: When we were designing our first kitchen, I wanted to avoid chipboard as much as possible and have something sturdy. That’s why we decided to chose Varde kitchen. On the other hand our kitchen room wasn’t too big, so we had to save the place. That’s why we replaced one drawer in Varde counter with kitchen sink.

Lazy Linda Kitchen Organizer

Dutch design company Royal VKB has recently launched the Lazy Linda Kitchen Organizer. It was created by British designer Simon Wilkinson to hold all of the kitchen utensils we use on a daily basis.

Stuva Pantry

Materials: Stuva Combination Description: I used Ikea’s children’s furniture for my kitchen pantry. Perhaps not a “hack” but it’s a combination that I haven’t seen anywhere else and it is working very well for me.

Bornholm Kitchen

My lovely friend Susan Serra (remember her great article on 2011 kitchen trends ?) is launching her new line of Scandinavian-inspired kitchen furniture called Bornholm Kitchen this week at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show . Along with her daughter, Kelly Serra Donovan, Susan has created a new kitchen furnishings line inspired by the spirit of their ancestral birthplace; authentically Scandinavian, yet handcrafted in the US.
