Hello BIA readers! I am so excited to be guest posting for Tobe, who is super busy making her new house look fabulous. I have never owned my own home but a girl can dream, right?

Probably the most essential space in my future dream home is the office. I was going to choose closet, but let's be real, the office is the money-maker, while the closet is the money-taker. Office wins! And below are just a few of the inspirational images I've gathered to create my ideal work space.

Organization of your work space (especially when you're a freelancer) is key. And when you're a designer to boot, it has to be organized and pretty :) These items help accomplish both!

Accessories add color and style to a work space. Useful items like cute notebooks and paper organizers help spruce up your desktop while helping you stay organized too.

And what's more important to me than anything else? My butt. More specifically, the comfort of my butt while I'm working. There is nothing worse than a stiff chair with no cushion or space to change position every now and then. These chairs look so comfy and also super cute! (see the pattern here?)

Well, I hope my work space inspiration gave you all something to drool over! A big thanks to Tobe for letting me share my office delights today and good luck to Tobe and the hubs with the new house!
