Making progress!
Thought I’d share an update on my new office scheme I wrote about last month. I received the painting I purchased from artist Erin Ashley and I absolutely love it! Isn’t it fantastic? I’ve been slowly adding a few vintage pieces from a great shop here called Out of Vogue (they provide a ton for the Mad Men sets, and were featured last summer in Sunset magazine). I love waltzing through every so often to see what I can find. I was thrilled to have scored a pair of mushroom-style brass lamps for $112! These two lucite pieces only cost me $45 and the low bowl was a mere $8.
Since we graphic designers use color each day, every day, I thought it would be fun to style up the photographs with my main tool: Pantone swatches! The bowl of “rejects” actually makes for a pretty accessory, don’t you think?
I’ve now been on a hunt for the perfect Milo Baughman chair. Of course I’d love something wild like this, but at $2200 it’s a tad out of my price range. There is one possibility on eBay that’s actually reasonable — round, overstuffed, pink, and on a brass base. How fun does that sound?
Thanks for checking in, have a great weekend!
All looks great. They chair, I would just find something similar in style on Ebay and have it reupholstered in a similar fabric color and texture. Lovely…!!
I like the way you think (*wink*)
Love that piece of art! And those brass mushroom lamps are fab!!
Thanks Brittany…I love buying original art and vintage pieces!
I stumbled upon your blog and just wanted to say how wonderful it is! You have great style. And I love that pink chair.
Hi Bentley! I checked out your site and blog and I LOVE them! Your About page is so funny and touching! And what a cool name you have.
Just going back through some of your old posts – as I have always been obsessed with that office of hers – I like yours better! Love everything. I lost out on a chrome mushroom lamp and now am on a hunt for another – let me know if you see a tall one!

I haven’t done anything else on it, sadly! I’ll keep an eye out for your lamp!
Hi Erika! I know this is an older post, but if you are still in search I have something very similar! They are a pair of vintage brass base club chairs, quite similar. The upholstery is currently a rose colour with a pale blue striped pattern. If you are at all interested feel free to contact me! rai.decor@gmail.com
