THE DESK I WISH I HAD!

September 27, 2009

Home office in a city loft with a simple teak desk and wood open back chair
Sunday is a work day for me! Does anyone feel sorry for me?

Anyhoooo….if I could be working at this city loft home office … or should I say desk … I think I would get a lot done. Clean, simple Danish modern teak desk with a wood open back chair. Nice.

I know some of you will say the chair looks uncomfortable, the desk is too small…etc…etc..etc. Maybe so. To me, though, this simple desk vignette is about clear and focused thinking in a simple space.

Oh, did I mention how much I love the windows and the city view?

My life is nothing like this at all!!! Instead of being seated in one place, I am moving from room to room with my laptop in tow…trying to make the best of my non-existent office at home. Help!

Maybe, I’ll go work outside…on the deck…where there is a view. That could help.

    I’d love to have those huge tall windows by my desk 🙂

    I’m afraid I might spend so much time gazing at those great windows and amazing outlook that little work would get done. But, like you, I love the space!

A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. It tells you everything about the history of the space. The patina, the pattern, the way light moves across it. These are the rooms that prove good bones never go out of style.
What’s your favorite parquet pattern?

Designer Emma Donnersberg took her own Paris apartment in the 7th arrondissement and used it to rewrite the rules — classical bones, contemporary everything else. Her Wave Sofa and U&Me Table anchor the living room in organic curves. In the kitchen, a green ceramic-wrapped island does the heavy lifting for color against all that neutral stone. And the dining room? A Carrara travertine fireplace that turns stone into the whole point of the room.
Curved, curated, and completely hers. 🤍

A little peek at one of my favorite outdoor spaces, which I designed years ago. The patterned tile, navy seating, white stucco, and layers of greenery make this balcony feel like a little room all its own.
I love how much personality you can create in a small outdoor space without making it feel overcrowded.
Save this for your next outdoor space refresh. 🍃

Want a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and invitingWant a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and inviting? Start with these simple changes:
1. Layer your bedding. Mix sheets, a duvet, quilts, and throw blankets to create that plush, lived-in look.
2. Add warm lighting. Swap harsh overhead lighting for bedside lamps, sconces, or a statement light with a warm glow.
3. Bring in plenty of texture. Think linen, velvet, boucle, chunky knits, and soft rugs.
4. Keep the palette warm and calming. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and muted colors instantly make a room feel more restful.
5. Mix in natural materials. Wood, rattan, woven accents, and stone add warmth and character.
6. Make the walls feel personal. Art, photographs, or even a statement headboard can make the room feel more finished.
7. Add something organic. A vase of branches, fresh flowers, or a little greenery can bring the room to life.
The goal isn’t to make your bedroom perfect. It’s to make it feel like a place you actually want to retreat to at the end of the day.
Save this for your next bedroom refresh. 🤎

The right chandelier doesn’t just light a room, it becomes the room. Scale, material, placement. When it’s done right, everything else arranges itself around it.
