Glams,

When it comes to my home, one thing you should know about me, is the fact that I don’t function too well when I feel that my personal space is out of sync. It’s like I become this super unproductive mad woman trying to figure out how to keep my life functioning while battling a severe case of feeling un-organized.  Yes, I’m that momma who asks for the “Top Of The Line” Vacuum, only because I’m super obsessed with seeing the carpet lines appear each time it rolls across my bedroom floor. Please, don’t judge me!

Case in point: My Home Office.

Almost a year ago, I was having one of those days. I felt like my office just wasn’t reflecting where I was both personally and professionally. Add to it the fact that I was having a bit of a day with my husband, and I literally decided in that moment that I was taking matters into my own hands and was going to re-decorate my entire space: I’m talking a new paint color, furniture orders, lighting, the whole bit! After doing some searching on Pinterest to get inspired and at least a dozen or more phone conversations with my Brother @kevinstylesyou, THE HOME DECOR EXPERT, who also happens to be running visual for IKEA in Japan, I went to work coming up with the look and feel of my soon-to-be new space.

As I reflect back on that experience, I felt that it was only right to dish out to my fellow mommies five of my FAV tips for Glamming Up Your Home Office.

1. Get Inspired—Don’t be afraid to check out Instagram, Pinterest or any of your other social media favs in order to get your juices flowing around what you would like your new space to look like.
2. Determine Your Color Scheme And Stick With It—For me, this was a big one! I knew that I wanted an off-white color along with pinks, golds and blacks. I made sure that as I was exploring decor options, that we stayed true to this color palette.
3. Make Sure You Create A Space That Reflects You—This is your space, so own it. It’s where you’re going to develop your next big business idea or where you’ll spend countless hours on the computer honing your craft. Make sure that it’s a reflection of you.
4. Know That You Can Achieve Glam, Without Breaking The Bank—Honey, I found pieces at Ikea, Home Goods, Z Gallerie, The Home Depot, you name it! It wasn’t about spending a ton, it was strictly about finding those items that were going to add to the overall look and feel that I was going for.
5. Understand That Nothing Is Permanent—This was a big one for me. Realize that how you decide to decorate today is a reflection of the vibe that you’re feeling now. Vibes change, mommies change, so understand that nothing is permanent.

Chat Soon,
