| Mixing and matching is the order of the day at the main conference table in this design office. The white table is surrounded by a mix of chairs including a yellow Louis style chair, a Philippe Stark Louis Ghost Chair, the Panton iconic swoosh chair, and I white lacquer Chippendale style chair that I recognize from West Elm.

Love the space that Avenue Interior Design created for their Venice Beach, CA office!
I met Ashley Manhan, one of the principals of Avenue Interior Design, years ago now I think…met her through good friend KD…and was invited to a dinner party at her well styled house. Thought Ashley had a wonderful sense of design then and still do.
Just this week or last week or at some point in the past (I have no sense of time as everything in my life blurs together…), Ashley emailed me some fab before and after shots of the office she and her two partners (Casey Noble and Andrea DeRosa) designed as the headquarters for their growing interior design business.
Love this space…it is friendly, organized (so key for any work space), fresh, accessible and pretty. Done…I would like to work in that space!
Design wise…it is a great mix of modern classics, vintage pieces and new furniture all melded together to make a fabulously cohesive space. Take a look.

Love this office space. I need a great office space. I need someone to come in and organize my office space like this!
Ashley, Andrea and Casey also have an e-decorating service called I Heart Design by Avenue…love their concept of building a room…they assign everyone a design personality type and then work from there!
What do you think? What do you like about this space? What tricks have you used in your own home office? Where do you set up “shop” when you are at home on your computer? Would love to know.
Happy Friday!

OMG! I love everything! Especially the Garden Stool. Where is that from?! I’m SO glad I ran across your blog!!!
I just discovered your blog. I am very behind the times! But I wanted to say how much I love it. Your shop has the most amazing finds. I will certainly be mulling over the choices there. And the images you choose to post are so great, many of them have found their way into my “inspiration file.” Just thought I would drop a note, and say you have a new fan!
What a great space. Chic yet eclectic and relaxed. They did a great job!!
I absolutely love the cubby holes to keep the office organized. the whole thing is simple, yet adorable! I heart it too!
AMAZING work space!! so organized and practical, yet not lacking in whimsy/quirkiness! LOVE the bold rug, mis-matched chairs, and countless boxes/baskets and cubbies!!
Oh wow, what a huge change. I love, love, love this office. It looks fresh, bright, stylish and organized at the same time. I am seriously considering adding some brighter colors to my office as well, it must be much more fun to work in a colorful room.
that office is soooo cute!! 🙂
