\"Workspace<\/p>\n

Well, this is it guys! \u00a0This is where I spend the majority of my working days drafting ideas, editing photos, and writing blog posts. \u00a0It’s totally accurate for you to picture me sitting in that chair\u00a0right now as you’re reading this.<\/p>\n

For a while this space had become overgrown with clutter and fallen apart as my style changed and I became\u00a0uninspired by\u00a0the scenery. \u00a0A workspace redesign\u00a0was not only badly needed\u00a0to make me want to work\u00a0in this corner of my living room again (instead of the sofa), but to also improve storage options and function while still achieving that\u00a0monochrome minimalism I’m so obsessed with.<\/p>\n

I’m essentially relieved to finally be able to share this with you because it’s been very, very hard to contain my excitement about it. \u00a0The space finally looks like me and it’s finally<\/em>\u00a0really comfortable to work in. \u00a0To add on to the excitement,\u00a0West Elm<\/a> partnered with me to make this redesign possible, which is an absolute dream and really cool to bring our style-mesh to life.<\/p>\n

\"Workspace<\/p>\n

I’d say if there was one hero here, it would be the desk<\/a>. \u00a0It’s almost twice the width of my previous one and has more than twice the storage capacity with the double file cabinets. \u00a0The extra desk top space is SO NICE since I’m the type that likes to write and draw on sprawled out papers while being able to refer to my open planner and notebooks and laptop at the same time while also having a plate of food nearby with a glass of water and a green juice. \u00a0Space is nice, that’s all.<\/p>\n

\"Workspace<\/p>\n

The shelves above the desk were there previously only I switched things up this time by painting the brackets<\/a> black (they were gold before. \u00a0Remember when I’d paint everything gold?) and replacing the shelves with white ones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Workspace<\/p>\n

I wanted to keep these shelves as clutter-free and minimal as possible while still storing some desk essentials, which these lacquer magazine holders<\/a> are helping me do perfectly. \u00a0Also, when I used to imagine what my workspace makeover would look like, I remember visualizing\u00a0an alarm clock<\/a>\u00a0just like this one being in the scene, which is a weird detail to know\u00a0so far ahead of time but I\u00a0find it adorable and best of all useful since it’s the only clock in our living room. \u00a0Hard to read from afar, sure, but it’s there!<\/p>\n

\"workspace<\/p>\n

The bookcase<\/a>\u00a0next to the desk is where I’m storing some materials, props, and other knick knacks, a lot of which is stashed away in all those boxes.<\/p>\n

\"shelf<\/p>\n

\"Workspace<\/p>\n

I had a ghost chair before, which I favored for being\u00a0way more comfortable than expected, but it wasn’t sit-for-6-hours-straight comfortable. \u00a0This chair<\/a>\u00a0is,\u00a0and it’s surprising because at first sit I thought it was too\u00a0firm but it turned out to be perfect for me. \u00a0I love<\/em> the simple shape, clean lines, color, everything.<\/p>\n

\"Workspace<\/p>\n

The lamp<\/a> felt like the missing piece of the puzzle. \u00a0Marble and bronze\u00a0are never not a favorite around here. \u00a0No question it was meant to live on my desk.<\/p>\n

\"Workspace<\/p>\n

Everyone agrees that inspired work happens in inspiring places, and that’s exactly how I feel about\u00a0my little corner workspace. \u00a0It has come such a long way in what felt like a really\u00a0long time of difficult\u00a0decision-making, mostly over decluttering (favorite). \u00a0I’m still working hard on my goal of making sure every single thing in this home is useful or something I adore, and this workspace is a really good example of a win in that direction for me.<\/p>\n

Something fun: a couple of the things here were DIYs that I’ve shared here on the blog. \u00a0If you missed them, check out either the memo board DIY<\/a> or the mini plant stands DIY<\/a>!<\/p>\n
