The designer of this chic office is Mary McDonald is based out of Los Angeles, and it's just one of the many beautiful designs that are featured in her new book: Mary McDonald: Interiors: The Allure of Style. It is a perfect spot for the creative at heart and has just enough sophistication and feminine vibes to keep it from becoming too stuffy or frilly. Notice the Audrey Hepburn print, isn't it incredibly fitting on the Tiffany blue wall?!

Poketo.com is a handy little website with seriously cute little gadgets for around the office and home. The Desk-It is a weekly sticky notepad that helps in Sunday through Saturday organization. I have a huge desk calendar that sits unused under my keyboard since I have to lift up my keyboard every time I want to write something new, so annoying! And high up on my want now list is the super cute Music Balloon portable and rechargeable USB speaker.  Another handy little item for the home are these 5 Minute Candles that are packaged to look like a book of matches! I love anything that is miniature and useful!

Whether you have the joy of working from home, or like a space to do your personal filing after your 9-5, a home office is getting a lot more importance in today's functioning home.  How much space you require and the tasks involved with your personal office will determine your options. Architect Kevin Deevey needed a home work space that could take him away from his modest sized home and 2 small children.  Just steps away in his own backyard, Kevin came up with this fantastic 10' x 10' office.  It houses his computer and drawing board and looks smart with a commercial curtain wall front allowing plenty of light. 

If you do not have an entire room to dedicate to your home office, a closet space works very nicely! Especially since a closed closet door or curtain conceals this valuable space very well.  This light and airy closet workspace was created in a San Francisco home;  open white shelves, and an uncluttered desk make this home office a great tucked away gem.

Since “The Office” is back and Michael Scott fans can rejoice, Lets feature a fabulous office shall we? This Four seasons Sales Office was designed by golden boy Brian Gluckstein of Gluckstein Design Planning Inc. Gosh I love him! And purely in the professional sense guys! He really does have a Midas touch, whether it be through a phenomenal mastery of rich neutrals or furniture selection. 

Do you notice all the framed panels on the walls? –Brian’s millwork details are amazing and so subtle, he knows that architectural details are sometimes more important than the decor you put in the room after. You know the feeling you get when you walk into an old building that is unfurnished, but beautiful because of all the cornices, crown moldings and ornate window transoms, the ones that elude to nothing but the best; like oversized oil paintings, antique chaises and Italian fabrics? -That is a Gluckstein design ladies and gentlemen. This office design won a 2007 Award of Merit by ARIDO.
