So many friends ask me where I get the inspiration for my colorful decor.
I'll tell you my secret: DECORATE WITH A SONG!
Please press play and read the rest of the entry while listening to this song :)
I was listening to this "Who The Fuck Is Alice" parody and the child in me instantly thought of the one Alice I love. It's Alice In Wonderland, my second favorite story book when I was just a little girl.
I felt inspired to make a little cheery home office in an unused corner of my home, using the Mad Hatter poster that I already owned.
The Mad Hatter's ginger hair was the same color as in the song's video - so I naturally went with a black and orange color theme in order to spice things up. Needless to say, I just used items around the house and didn't buy anything new for the home office corner.
The Moroccan leather pouf was in the bedroom, the orange Tam-Tam stool and the crazy golden hat were in the happy entryway. I've had the sad little ceramic mask since I was 18 and it follows me everywhere I live. The cute little white lampshade is thrifted and it just sat around the house.
One little thing: I like to place a mirror next to my notebook - so that I can have a magical window while I'm endlessly surfing the web.
That's it, folks! I think the song is over by now, and so am I.
What a fun work space! Love how it turned out!!

This is a really sharp space. I love the simplicity of the lines and objects - not overly crowded, yet the color palette is perfect. I hope it inspires lots of creativity (or just pinterest activity.) :)

Thank you, Alyssa! When I work in a pleasant, well edited space, I really am more relaxed - hence more creative :)

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Angie, you're a lovely, caring hostess!
DeleteAbsolutely! A song!! I decorate off of favorite places...or pictures of those places. It's a happy place to be...isn't it. Love your office...too cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janel! I cannot really get inspired by a place (to my deepest regret) but music always does it for me :)
DeleteThis is awesome.. although sadly I could not listen to the song cause the kids were awake.. but I will stop by later and give it a listen! I just adore Alice in Wonderland too.. the book and the miniseries were my faves when I was a kid!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with the Pink Hippo Party .. can't wait to see what you share next!
