Indutrial loft turned light and vintage treasure-filled studio

Happy Friday everyone! Where did this week go?!? Today I wanted to share this inspiring space- the California office of wedding and event planners Kelly and Paige of bash, please. It's an interesting mix of industrial, rustic, and pretty vintage. I think you'll agree it's a great space for getting those creative juices flowing.

The ladies' hubbies actually helped build a lot of the furniture around the office.

Love the chevron in the entryway

Check out the huge frame filled with photos - a clever way to display their events, or you could use it to display travels, family, friends, etc.

This bar cart would also look great as an entry/foyer table

a dreamy amount of work surface!

What do you think?  Would you like to work in a space like this?

Home office bliss

The home office is so important to me since I work from home. I think with more and more people working from home these days we'll be seeing even more great home office inspiration and solutions in mags and blogs.

Happy Friday!

Tons of storage for inspiration!  My shelves are always overflowing, but sometimes I feel like the more storage space I have, the more likely I am to hoard more stuff...

Looks like an archivists dream right?

A down-to-earth but still chic space.

Only problem with this one is that the gorgeous wall mural might have me daydreaming of tree houses all day

Which one do you like best?

Small kitchens that still get the job done...

Chris and I don't have a very large kitchen in our new apartment. It has no windows, but a decent sized pantry - which really helps. Counter space is scant - so we purchased a long, narrow baker's cart at ikea - which was worth every penny. I'm about to stencil the kitchen with a sheen effect - high gloss and matte - in a lovely navy indigo to contrast our beige-pink backsplash and white cabinets. I've been searching through a lot of kitchen inspiration lately and thought I'd share some of my favorite finds...

This painted wallpaper looks stunning.  Our kitchen is going to be painted a very dark indigo - so I like finding other dark kitchens.

 Our kitchen absolutely wouldn't work with out our baker's cart.  They are essential for small kitchens.

 Lots of shelving make up for a lack of cabinets.

love, love, love, love a rug like this in the kitchen. beautiful.  It would look great in our navy/indigo kitchen, too.

Never fails to disappoint: Canadian House and Home

Oh Canadian House and Home, how I wish a year subscription shipped to the states weren't so pricey. I often argue with myself though that it would be worth it. I often check them out at the bookstore but it's just not the same as having it in my home, and the magazine is consistently gorgeous.

I really like the picture ledge on the wall.
