My Home Office Reveal with Serena and Lily!
I’m so excited to finally reveal my new home office on the blog today! Earlier this year I decided it was finally time carve out a room in our home that was just dedicated to my office. Since we haven’t had any guests in our guest room for a long time we decided it would be put to better use as my office, which would be a space that I could enjoy every day!
With my growing e-design business and overflowing sample library I was outgrowing the small office space that we have downstairs and was stashing samples in various drawers and cabinets all throughout the first floor. In my new office design I incorporated the Pierson Dresser to hold all of my samples! I’ve had my eye on this piece for quite some time, and it’s the perfect addition to this space.
I love the versatility of the Pierson Dresser—it’s a lower height, so it could work nicely in an entryway, dining room, and of course a bedroom! The brass feet and longer legs give it a more elevated feel, along with the tray detail on the top. I love that it’s right behind my desk so I can reach everything without having to get up from my chair!
This view from my desk is my favorite. It’s the only room in our house where you can sit and admire the Capiz Honeycomb Chandelier in our hallway. I love seeing it in the same line of sight as the Pescadero Tiered Chandelier that hangs above my desk. The Pescadero chandelier is made of coconut shells, and gives the space such a soft and organic feel.
The Valley Wallpaper was really the game changer in this space. I originally had planned to just do an accent wall on the dresser wall with it, but Serena and Lily generously offered to provide enough to do the entire room. I thought about the view I’d have sitting at my desk looking at the wallpaper and my two all time favorite chandeliers, and I couldn’t say no to that! I’m so glad we did the entire room, and honestly can’t imagine the room without it now! It has the most beautiful hand stamped texture and gives the room a subtle pattern and tonal feel.
I chose the Balboa Armchair in Mist for my desk chair. I have the Perennials Basketweave seat cushion in white so I won’t have to worry about any stains or spills since it’s a performance fabric! I love the warm gray tones in the armchair, and think the woven style adds a nice amount of depth and warmth to my office! With the addition of a small lumbar pillow, the chair is very comfortable for me to sit in for 8+ hours a day!
To pull the space together I added the Diamond Jute Rug. I wanted to bring in some more warmth and texture, but not compete with the pattern in the wallpaper. I love the light bleached look of this rug, and the hand-braided detail.
I added a small seating area in the corner of the room and styled it with my Flynn Floor Lamp, and added some tonal texture with the Bowden Pillow Cover and Milo Alpaca Throw.
I spend the majority of my time awake in my office, and I’m so grateful to have a space that’s my own and has everything I need to get my work done efficiently! It was very important to me that this space made me feel inspired, and was a place I woke up and was excited to spend time in. I can safely say this space is just that, and I’m very thankful to have been able to partner with Serena and Lily, as their pieces truly made this space more than I could have dreamed it could be! I hope that this inspires to you explore their collection to create a space in your home that you are excited to spend time in!

Office Sneak Peek + My Favorite Neutral Serena and Lily Wallpapers
Sharing an office sneak peek today! A couple of big items for the space arrived yesterday, and it’s really starting to take shape! I’ve gotten a lot of questions about wallpaper recommendations recently, so today I decided to round up my favorites from Serena and Lily. I’ve been sourcing their wallpaper for a long time because I love the selection of styles they have, but in the past year it’s also become my favorite wallpaper to install!
I’ve now installed it in my parent’s bathroom and my office, and am very impressed with the quality of the paper and ease of installation. I highly recommend going with a traditional unpasted wallpaper over a peel and stick option, as I found it’s easier to install and has a much higher quality look!

Coffee Tables for Every Budget
After my recent Q + A I got a ton of requests for coffee table roundups, so today I’m sharing a huge roundup of coffee tables to fit any budget, and any living room configuration. I’ve sourced coffee tables from $150-$1000, in round and rectangular shapes. I hope to do more roundups in the future of square, oval, and irregular shapes, but for today I stuck to the basics!
