FINALLY RE-DOING MY ROOM AND OFFICE.

I'm a big believer in that one should live in a space as is for a period of time before making decisions as to what needs to change for it to become more functional. This time has finally come! We've been in the new house for just a little over 4 months.

Nothing irks me more than rash decisions about the inside of houses just because it doesn't look aesthetically pleasing at first. Personally I find that this is  not the point, but rather to see and give time  to what exists to realise what can stay and be replaced or what needs to go altogether.

I'm pretty lucky in the fact that my Dad lets me design the functionality of our home. From buying furniture we need to kitchen appliances and whatever else will make it homely and functional whilst being aesthetically appealing. 

MY ROOM:

The one major difference I want to change is the lack of shelving. This was kind of a nightmare to put up with seeing as the little of shelving that is there is in the most inconvenient place but non the less this is about to change; I've narrowed the shelving down to one of two:

The above shelving can be found at: lightly (image on left) and freedom (image on right). The same set of shelving will be used in the office as well.  I've been hunting round for the perfect mirror to use in my room. The one in the bathroom is more than perfect enough for outfit checks, putting on make up etc but none the less I love having a mirror in my room.  I've fallen in love with Mark Tuckey's circular ply mirror .



The rest of my room design wise will come down to new accessories such as new bedding and throws. I sew and make my own cushions and throws from fabrics I've acquired so it will help add more uniqueness to the space. I already have an amazing industrial lamp that was given to me on my birthday last year and art work wise I'm waiting for my birthday to receive one of Maurice Golotta pieces; NAPLES
THE OFFICE:
This is the 2nd hub of our home and is super organised to the max already! My projects take up a lot of space on top of organising launching an online business and when my Dad's home from work he does a lot of illustration designs on the computer and hand printed works.

Re-doing the office is to modernise it a bit more and of course more shelving as mentioned above! We've already built a massive desk that spans around 2 of the walls and as I love new technology, updating the computers is first on the list since the iMacs we've got are over 3 years old; it's either the new 24 inch iMac with retina or the 27 inch iMac with retina..
I absolutely adore these saddle office chairs from west elm and am loving the fact that there is a store in Melbourne! I've loved their stuff for quiet some time. The one I want the most for the office is on the left but also adore the charcoal grey in the image on the right. They both can be found here; west elm



I'm sure for both rooms a few more bits and bobs will be acquired in the process of re-doing the rooms! When everything is done and I am happy with it I'll do another post with before and after pictures.
