My little home office isn't half bad--you can see it for yourself here. But it also happens to be my living room. And my dining room. And my gym and my yoga studio and my guest room. So every once in a while, when the impression from my bum on the couch gets especially deep, I daydream about having a dedicated workspace that is bright, airy, functional and fabulous.
The good news? Crystal is moving to San Francisco to join Caitlin and me, and just as soon as we're able, we're going to open a Rue office! And even though they don't know it yet, Bri and Cassie are coming too. I'm already excited for spontaneous dance parties and all night work sessions punctuated by pizza runs and boy talk. It's gonna be bananas!
With so many clever design gals in one space, the decor is going to be out of this world. I mean really--how could it not be? If I could do it up right this minute, I'd go for a warm, modern organic sensibility. Clean-lined furnishings, materials like brass, teak and leather, with eclectic traditional accents like a hotel desk bell and old-school wooden paper clips. Now bring on the dance party!

I love that white room with just a desk and chair! I would love to have an uncluttered, bright work space like that. And those rattan shelves are great!!

NO DOUBT! Your office will be fabulous including music streaming in all day. You might need a daily RUE webcam so we can all join in on the dance party break!

The white space is my dream office. I would just put a rug under the table.
