NEW YEAR, NEW ME...

2010 was an incredible year! I crossed quite a few things off my life to-do list and was thrilled with the growth and support for Octavia & Brown.

Sitting down to write my resolutions for 2011, I found I was wavering between generic resolutions like getting more sleep and eatting healthier to more creative ones like finally tackling reupholstering my side chairs and traveling out of the country more.

August Resolutions...

Most people do their New Year's Resolutions in January (makes sense), but I've found I tend to start making changes in August. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that more than half of the year is over, a lingering back to school mentality, or maybe because my birthday falls in July? Who knows...

Last year, I moved from San Francisco to New York. This year, the changes are a little less drastic, but more about clearing out clutter. The first area I am tackling is my office.

The first change I'd like to make is my desk. While my Ikea desk (pictured above) gives me height and hides clutter, the cheap particle board is not sturdy or inviting. I love Parsons desks for their versatility and West Elm’s glossy version seems to fit the bill.
I have already have great Warhol-like painting I'd like to hang above this sleek desk. 

And a great lucite chair that I got a Design Within Reach Sample Sale...
Add a few vintage accessories and I think I'll have a much more sleek, creative space to work. Stay tuned for before and after pictures...
