Office Makeover: Inspiration

I work from home a couple of days a week, so I spend a good deal of time in my little office. At first, I just wanted a space that was functional and quiet. Now, though, thanks to Pinterest, I am inspired to create a space that is not only functional and quiet, but also beautiful and inspiring. I have already gotten started on my home office makeover and can't wait to show you the progress I've made, but first I wanted to share some of the spaces across the interwebs that have started my creative juices flowing.

I heart organization. A lot.

This is really the space that inspired it all for me. The layout of this office is almost identical to mine and I LOVE her stenciled walls. I am so stenciling my walls!

More fantastic organization. Le sigh.

Love the inspiration board, the library ladder (swoon!) and the pops of color.

Oh. My. Heavens. What I wouldn't give to work in a space like that!

I love the artful display of books. I'm digging that their all the same color. And the chair! Be still my heart!

Okay, I could go on and on. I'll spare you! But aren't these home offices heavenly? I'm going to attempt to take the things I love out of those spaces and incorporate them as best I can into my own home office. On a budget, of course. And using much of what I already have (I have plenty of books. Seriously, I need to go on a book diet). This is going to be fun!

Stay tuned!
