{at the office: inspirational workspaces}

. . . and it would seem that everything has been running a few hours behind since the week began, although suppose it's always the case when one has been away for a while, but happily, a side affect of having been away is returning with a new and beautiful energy, overflowing with inspiration, and with so many lovely things to share, that can hardly work quickly enough . . .

{p.s.} in other words, running very, very behind today and a new {favourite five}, still & soon! x

{home inspiration: scandinavian style}

. . . there is so much to love about this workspace -- the modern desk juxtaposed with the grand gilt mirror, the stacks of magazines for inspiration and the candlelight, the luxurious pools of drapery, and of course and most of all, the herringbone floors . . .

{p.s.} more beautiful glimpses, including a cozy settee and crackling fire, and elegantly wrapped gifts strewn about:
