Our Office

It only took us two years to finally complete our office.  The shade arrived yesterday and I acquired Zach’s time and help to get it installed.  He was motived because it was the LAST thing we had to do in order to call it good and post it to our home decor blog.

The space looks a lot better in the daylight…but I am usually running too late to snap some pics on my way to work in the morning.

And just in time too…because Zach is having a [his words] Halo Party with his friends tonight.  By night our office turns into Game Central because that is where the TV and PS3/Xbox is located.  What am I going to be doing while Zach games the night away…?

FLYING TO NYC TO SEE MY FRIENDS!

It was a last minute thing, but my friend Kristina is having her bachelorette party/trip in New York this weekend…but since I couldn’t miss work I am leaving on the Red Eye tonight and staying there for a WHOPPING two days!  I didn’t think I could go because it seemed like such a waste of time and money for two flights in two days…but I don’t care!  I would be happy to stay TWO HOURS in NYC with my friends!  Tons of pictures to come!

As a Matter of Maps

Our office is COVERED in maps.  Manhattan, Chicago (the most recent purchase), San Francisco that I saw on a Graphic Design Blog, and so on…

I finally got our “gallery wall” all hung up while Zach was gone.  All I need now is the window shade, and that room is complete.  We’ve lived in this house for two years, next week…and we only have one room completely finished.  At least it is a start!

I NEED HELP….

Ok, I need help in SEVERAL areas, but this is just one of them.

First of all, I apologize all I ever post about is my home DIY Home Decor.  Design is all I do, obviously, so it takes over my life.  For example:  We were watching House the other night…

And instead of focusing on the horrible situation with this pateint, I kept saying things like this…

“I love that sideboard, that’s from Room & Board.”

“I saw those pillows at Serena and Lilly and I want them SO bad!”

Zach didn’t say anything, but I am SURE he was getting annoyed.  Ok, back to my original topic…

I NEED HELP!  I know there are 6 options here, but trust me, I already narrowed it down from like…27?  Maybe more.

Anyway, I would love ANYONE’s opinion on which beside lamps they love the most.  I know which ones I think fit in our bedroom best, but I don’t want to eliminate anything without other opinions.  Love you guys, thanks for your help in advance!!

Cowhide?

I realize some people think that having animal skins in their home is….barbaric?

I, on the other hand, think that cowhide is….sexy.  Yep.  I said it.  I figured there’s not a better place to put this bad boy than in our bedroom.  I guess if people are disturbed, then at least the general public will never see this ottoman.  It will fit right in with the antlers on our wall.  

What?  I feel like people are giving me dirty looks….it’s just like leather!!!  Kind of.
