Home Inspiration: Neutral Work Space

First off, I’d like to announce the winner of the Where the Wild Things Are giveaway:
Congratulations ROSIE!
Please email me your mailing address ASAP so the package can be on your way!

So it’s pretty evident that the hubs and I have pretty clear plans of what we have in mind with each room in our new home and our office is no different. This will mainly be the hubs’ haven so he got artistic control, but I absolutely loved his ideas and what he wanted to do with the space. Being a designer, he was looking for a neutral work space to not clutter his environment so that it wouldn’t hamper his creativity. I just ordered this amazing white wash floor from Lumber Liquidators to keep with the clean, sleek look of the room:

These are also some great inspiration pictures that have tickled our pickles:

Pretty in Oscar

I’m going to have to forego posting about my weekend this Monday so that I can pay homage to the Oscars Red Carpet – afterall, I know celebrity gawking and gossip is way more entertaining than my own life, right? Right.

I have to say that I was a bit disappointed with the level of glamor this year at the Oscars. It seemed like everyone was “playing it safe” when it came to their gown choice. Everyone’s outfits kind of resembled dresses I would see being worn at any black tie wedding. I mean, I’m sure they are thousands of dollars more, but you get me?

Although there weren’t many, here are my favorites from the night:

And my not so favorites:

So what did you guys think? Do you agree? Disagree?

Have a fabulous week, everyone!

1. Eat Drink Chic

As you all know, I check a series of blogs on a regular basis to gather inspiration and keep up to date with what’s hot and what’s not. Unfortunately, This week it has been a little tough for me to keep up with my long list of favorite blogs, but I was lucky enough to stumble on one new favorite: Eat Drink Chic! The creator of this blog, Amy, is a graphic designer from Australia that states that the blog is “an exploration of style,” allowing her to experiment with wearing different hats. Not only are her posts beautiful, enjoyable and fun, but I definitely find her feelings towards her blog mirror my own towards Melificent. I can only hope my blog can be as wonderful as hers in the near future!

Happy Hump Day: Callum Blue

callum-blue

I genuinely can’t help myself when it comes to British men. It’s pretty pathetic actually (& yes, the hubs is aware). So it was no surprise that I instantly fell in love with Callum Blue’s character, Mason, on Dead Like Me several years back while having one of those non-stop DVD marathons in grad school. Ever since then, I get really excited when I see him randomly appearing in different films & tv shows such as The Tudors, Smallville and The Princess Diaries alongside Anne Hathaway. Here’s to hoping that those appearances won’t remain so random. Enjoy!
