Back on the Blog! - Making Your Home Office a Refuge

Hi friends! I hope you are all well and staying healthy from home. Clearly it’s taken a global pandemic and quarantine to get me back on the blog after about 4 years!! Life and business have gotten crazy, and with social media being as big as it is, I’ve forgotten how much I love to share with you all through my own blog. In the midst of all of the uncertainty in the world right now, our design business has changed drastically in the past few weeks. As of now, I am working solo with the help of my assistant to keep up with client projects until “normal” resumes. A big topic of discussion via the Instagram interactions I’ve had with some of you all, is the question of how I’m managing and how I’ve managed to turn my home into a suitable workspace for the time being. While the only recommendations for how I’m surviving are prayer and wine, haha, I am happy to share some tips with you on how you can transform your home into more of a refuge. Regardless of whether or not you already have a dedicated home office, or you have brought a desk into your bedroom, here are a few items you may need to feel like a boss! Click the image to shop these items!

My approved items that I’d recommend to make your home office a chic refuge:

1. plush desk chair

2. quirky desk lamp- with all these video calls, good lighting just became that much more important!

3. pretty vase- display some fresh blooms!

4. elegant picture frame- perfect way to display photos to remind us why we work

5. great candle- #mood

6.cozy throw blanket- who says we can’t be cozy while we work?!

Here’s a little inspiration from some of our favorite JCI office spaces over the years…

I hope our recommendations help you to make your home office feel more like you “office office” no matter what the space looks like. Times are crazy, but my hope is that we can all use this time to grow in many ways, to pursue passions, to learn, and to pick up old hobbies like I’m doing by writing this blog! Check out the picture below and let me know what you think about my home office view… My little girl, Marlowe, is a little athlete! This girl will climb on top of anything and everything the minute I look away, haha!
