my office…

by Kaylah Stroup
I’m kind of overdue on sharing photos of my office. I moved into this room quite a while ago but there just kept being small things I’d remember needed done every time I’d go to take photos. The Mutter museum print needed framed, bulletin board needed cleaned off, shelves just didn’t seem to look right with what was on them, etc. It finally feels “complete” in here. Not that any room in my home is ever actually complete, this one is just at a really great point right now.

 

a few sources:
desk
jackalope jewelry holder
tooth planters
giant mushroom 
stay home banner
blue cart, mirror, wall pockets, & glass plant house are from Ikea.
shark trash can, owl pencil holder & ice cream lamp are vintage.
If you’re curious about anything else, just ask!

xoxo

So cute! I need to get around to taking my office/apartment pictures…. it's only been over a year! But like you said, it never feels complete!

is the butterfly poster behind you in that last photo also vintage? always on the hunt for one.

The Dainty Squid November 4, 2013 - 7:26 pm

Yeah, it's actually a vintage tea towel.

Hahaha that trash can is the best thing I've ever seen!

Amber Henry November 4, 2013 - 2:58 pm

I love that trash can!!! It's awesome!! The mister and I are currently on the market to buy a house….with MY very own office space. I can't wait to decorate.

Ooh, where oh where did you get that calendar? I love it. I must have it. Well, as long as they're (hopefully) making a 2014 version!

The Dainty Squid November 4, 2013 - 7:27 pm

The calendar is from this shop:

Looks like they're closed now though.

Your office is adorable! I'm currently in the market for a new desk myself. I found one at IKEA that has a green glass top that I just looooove, I can't wait to go look at it this weekend.

PetiDaubner November 4, 2013 - 3:37 pm

I really love it, it's cozy and organized and I really like all the small details. I wish I had room like this one 🙂 Love form Slovakia !!!

I think I need that Jackalope jewelry organizer. Great pics. What a quirky and surprisingly organized space. I am very jealous.

Erica November 4, 2013 - 4:24 pm

Your office is one of the best rooms I have ever seen. So much inspiration for my new studio. Thanks for posting this (finally)!

Cute space! I like all of your washi tape and your constellation charts!

Your office is so lovely. I'm trying to get mine to a state where I love to be in there at the moment. I just never seem to find the time or the energy to work on it though and my desk is currently a mess of papers and notebooks that don't have a home. I'm so jealous of your organization skills!

Lauren November 4, 2013 - 6:09 pm

As usual I'm in total awe of your innate style when creating a room! If I tried it'd just look like a bull had run amok through my things! 🙂 You're very inspirational. Have a lovely day!

Very cute and eclectic. I have the rug in black and white, the cart (but of course!) and the hot house for my (dying) cactus as well 🙂

Betty Szwagierczak November 4, 2013 - 6:32 pm

shark trash can is probably one of the best things from your office now 🙂 other great thing is skeletor dude standing next to massive ice cream cone 🙂
anyway, how are your cactus plants behaving ;)? i don't thing you posted a proper update on succulents lately..
take care

Loving your office! I bought the IKEA cart in grey. I was torn but now seeing the blue one in action, I'm having a bit of buyer's remorse. Anyways, I'm mostly de-lurking to send you a link to something I saw on Etsy and thought immediately of you and your love of teeth:

They're actually made from dentures, but still crazy to look at!

It's not really about your office but where did you get your shirt in the last picture

Your office is perfect! Is that a Madame Talbot Mutter Museum print by the way? I love her work 😀

The Dainty Squid November 6, 2013 - 3:02 pm

It is, but I bought it because it's from my favorite museum.
