Mood Board Monday ~ A Lady's Study

Tracy at Comfort & Luxury has chosen the inspiration pieces for this Mood Board Monday, which she is hosting this week. Thank you, Tracy!

I love using chairs because they are so versatile and can move around as you need them. I decided to go with The Antwerp ~ from Anthropologie. The blue grey background color and feminine shape inspired me to go with a study/library for a woman. Budget is not an issue {let's pretend we all won Lotto}. I did this in photoshop and it does not appear to enlarge so I picked out a few of the items and put the pictures in below the board.

I liked both draperies shown so I put both in as options. The paint color is Sherwin Williams' Moody Blue {which is the background of this collage}.

~ Even More Home Office Accessories ~

Can there be too many posts about home offices and their accompanying accessories? I think not. Take a gander at the following items I found at Horchow's website. {Disclaimer: I use Horchow images a lot because they are really lovely items ~ not that they are in my budget}.

I think Ballard Designs might carry pushpins that match these paperclips. And look, they do. Although these are gold.

I have something similar to the above set, except my pen holder started life as a bathroom tumbler/cup that I found on clearance at Home Goods {and it's a harlequin pattern, not a check pattern}.

THIS would go so great in that home office in my mind that I posted about a few weeks ago. I must figure out a way to make my own as this magnetic board is $65.00 at Horchow and is 13 x 19.

Love the colors in these notecards and would love to find something similar but with home decor elements instead of shoes {although the shoes are really cute!}.

File boxes that don't look like file boxes.

All images from the Horchow website, unless otherwise indicated.

Along these lines, let me just offer up this teaser ~ I contacted a company that I've mentioned before in blogs {no, not Horchow} to see if they would consider a giveaway. I am very happy to say that they have agreed and will be sending me something of their choice as a giveaway item, some time this month. I don't want to say too much, because I'm always afraid I'll jinx it, but I think it will make for a great giveaway! Look for that giveaway later this month.
