Very old school Chinoiserie and quite charming with its burgundy grasscloth walls, framed botanicals, gorgeous velvet leopard chair, jute rug layered with needlepoint, and blue and white Chinese porcelain. I really love combining leopard velvet and blue and white Chinese porcelain.

I have always been crazy about the desk in Aerin Lauder's office/dressing room - a Z desk circa 1970 by designer and architect Gabriella Crespi. I think Pottery Barn's Ava desk, that I used in yesterday's inspiration board, is evocative of it. It has clean, crisp, geometric lines, polished nickel and glass, and is very budget friendly. If I were looking for a new desk, this would definitely be in the running.

As you know, I am in the middle of a little home office makeover. Now that the painting is done, the fun can begin! Next up is styling my desk. In looking through my files for inspiration, I pulled together this group. These are the elements from them I would like to include in my own desk styling -

*Chinoiserie
*Feminine
*Eclectic
*Functional
*Chic
*Stylish
*Fun
*Creative

I hope to give you a peek at what I've done this week.
