remember this desk?

 

Remember the campaign desk from my "Moody Peonies" design board?

Remember how it is amazing... but pretty spendy?

{ $2,495 }

This campaign desk from World Market could almost match the ABC desk, with the right paint treatment and some nice pulls. And it's less than 10% of the cost!

 { $ 229.99 }

 

That's a look for MUCH less.

Fresh Inspiration: Moody Peonies

Flipping through the January's Martha Stewart Living, I was struck by the colors of this beautiful photo. I love peonies. I love most flowers... but especially peonies because they are just the right mix of formal and informal. This office design board is inspired by the peony arrangement's inky, but fresh palette. 

It was kind of a fun stretch for me to create this, since I usually don't go for such moody colors! I pulled from the ivory and pink buds, with a little plum and navy. I built everything around the beautiful campaign desk from ABC Carpet & Home... it's way out of my price range, but I love it. So let's call it DIY inspiration.
