The Friday Five: Offices

I’m curious – is an office an essential element in your home? Almost everyone that I know has some sort of office space in their home even though it is sometimes the case that they don’t work from home. When did the home office become such a necessity?

My own office makes me happy because it includes, among other things, a lot of natural light, a vintage desk, bookshelves, and artwork from around the world. And you? What are the absolute must-haves in your home office space?

Do you notice any similarities among the following five kitchens?

Well, yes, they’re white…of course they’re white! But did you also notice the crystal chandelier in each of the spaces? What do you think about adding a bit of crystal in the kitchen?

Interiors: Dining Rooms

As we head into the weekend I thought I’d leave you with five gorgeous dining rooms. What do you love or loathe in these spaces?

1. I love the long solid table in this room.

2. The white and cane chairs are very cool in this room (but I’m not sure about the sticks lying on the table).

3. The view – nothing beats a beachfront property in my opinion!

4. A table long enough to fit my friends and family – yes please!

5. I love this wide open space although I’d probably paint the wood white (call me crazy!).

Happy weekend!
