Office Updates // Inspiration Board and Rattan Chair

Ever since switching up the paint in my home office from light yellow to white (Divine White by Sherwin Williams), I've been making changes to the room and it's finally coming together.  I decided on a color palette of black, gold, pink, blush, and white -- which I am also considering for a blog redesign.








I put together an inspiration board filled with these colors and added it to a nook in my office, just to the right of my desk. You can see how I made the inspiration board HERE with the black and white polka dot fabric.














The inspiration board if full of colors, quotes, photos, and illustrations that are meaningful to me.  










Some of the prints are pins I pinned on Pinterest and printed at Walgreens.  










I like the white font on black background and can always be reminded to "be still."  I'm still looking for "Thy will be done."










The chair was a random find at Ikea.  I'd been looking online for something similar forever, but finally found this one day while browsing the store with my son.  When we took it to the car, he noticed me struggling and kept saying, "The chair won't fit in the car Mama."  Yes, I know.  We had to be rescued from the store:) Oops.  Has that happened to you?










The chair is called the Storsele and is made of rattan, but they aren't selling it online.  The shape and height is just right for this corner of the room.  It would also be nice to layer a throw blanket in the seat- need to see what I have around the house.










I'm using my silver HomeGoods table here too with some books and gold urchin.  










You can see how I covered that second book with fabric HERE.











I hope y'all have a great weekend!  I'll be announcing the winner of the $100 gift certificate to Festive Home Decor on Monday.  Go HERE to enter. :)

UPDATE: I just made these images with Recite website.  It's so easy (and free!), you just type in your quote and scroll through a list of backgrounds to choose the one you want. 




















Cool, huh?!
