I'm in the market for a new 'home office' for my living room. The other day my husband informed me that he was really sick of our living room chairs and I that I needed to sell them. For a man who has no opinions when it comes to... well, anything, this was definitely a shock! Not that my chairs weren't cute (they were green and white houndstooth with black lacquered frames) he just knew they weren't 'me.' So I placed them in the classifieds and they went to a cute young couple who just bought their first home.
Now I have a large area in front of a large picture window that is a blank canvas. I've been toying around with the idea of adding a 'home office' area, as my apartment doesn't have a second bedroom or home office space. After some tinkering around with some ideas, here is what I came up with so far:
I would swap out my green curtains for a pair of dove grey velvet panels, add a white Parson's desk, and a sleek lucite cantilever chair.

2. Custom Abstract Painting from yours truly!!
Did you notice the abstract art? It was my first attempt at being an artist. I think it turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself. It's all because of my adorable muse, Jack.
He was a great help sitting on my lap, sniffing the paint, and getting in the way of my elbow with each stroke. How could you get mad at a face that sweet though?
So what do you think? Should I purchase two more chairs that are more 'me' or does a home office in a living room fit the bill?
