My Office Sneak Peek





A little while ago, well no ages ago I told you all that I was re-decorating my office at Black & Spiro. Well of course it has taken longer than I had anticipated. Client work has had to take priority of course and that meant my office project was put on the back burner!! Well, I am thrilled to say that my little project is almost complete with the last piece (being my desk) due in by the end of this week. I am so happy with the way it's looking and I just couldn't wait to show you some pics of my artwork cluster wall as above. I will of course post pictures of the entire room hopefully by next week but here is a sneak peak. Hope you like it!!


NB. I would like to give credit to artists/crafters Anne Harwell, Samantha Hahn, Variegated Inc. as some of their pieces are included in this wall.

    Anna, I'm so thrilled you shared your office with us! It's Fantastic! I adore the wallpaper you've chosen. Very bright and energetic but not too overpowering. I'm going to have to add this to my inspiration board.

    I can't wait to see the rest - it's like a little etsy art gallery you have going there. I plan to do something similar in my downstairs hallway. The wallpaper reminds me of Imperial Trellis!

    Hi bjp - we custom make lampshades in whatever fabric you want. If that's any help.

    CStar - the quote inside the white frame is 'don't walk behind me I may not lead, don't walk in front of me I may not follow, just walk beside me and be my friend'. I share my office with my best friend as she works for me and I gave this piece to her for her birthday a couple of years ago as she has really stood by me in both difficult times and good times!!

    Oh, Mrs P we just laid it out on the floor in a pattern I was happy with and then I had my hangers hang it for me. So it wasn't too hard.

    Hi Anna,

    On my T ride into work today there was a little blurb about your blog and this post in The Metro- not sure if it was just Boston- but thought I'd let you know.

    I love your work!!
