Love it or hate it,
September is back to school.
The air turns,
sweater-and-boots weather rolls in,
and it’s time to hit the books.

Who doesn’t work better in an inspiring space?

• • • This work space has it all • • •

+ Work surface and reading chair oriented to the view,
+ Fresh air coming through windows that open onto a view,
+ Trees outside and in,
+ And a cat to keep things on an even keel.

Neither the space nor the elements are fancy —
— but the office is top drawer.

For its simplicity and organic shape,
nothing beats this floating wooden desk
shaped like a river rock
accompanied by a stool
reminiscent of a whale’s fluke.

I can’t get back to work fast enough.

Another truly handsome minimalist
take on the essential elements
of a work space:

Speaking of workspace essentials,
how about these spa blue file cabinets
under a clean white work surface —
— all on wheels.
House your stuff, and move it, too.
The wheels let you easily transform the space —
— perfect for small spaces,
where you have to make every inch count.

When you have very little space,
you have to make it multi-task.
Here, a super clever work space/dressing table
that gets the job done on multiple fronts.

Pull up a chair.

This Spectacular Design work space
sits in a compact condo,
where it interacts with its bold environment.
When you don’t have the space to devote
a full room to your office,
you have to make the workspace function
independently while also contributing
to the whole room’s ambiance.

• • • Close to Home • • •

One of the hottest trends in home renovation
is a backyard office/studio.
The commute couldn’t be shorter,
and yet you are out of your own hair.

Add a view,
and it just doesn’t get any better.

The elements in this work space are simple,
yet the well-placed color creates killer impact.
Notice how the horizontal color contrast
carries right through the drapes.
Makes me want to sit right down
and get something done!

Every element of this workspace is lovely:
from the shapely legs
and perfectly placed nailheads
on the powder blue ottoman,
to the scalloped desk
and the tufted office chair.

Oh yes,
I can work here j-u-u-u-u-u-s-t fine.
My ideas are flowing already…...
