My dream of a room of my own remains just that but I have decided to move from the kitchen, which is where I currently work, to a "work/inspiration corner".
My fabulous new Asus Zenbook has now arrived & as it's half the size of my current laptop, I can have a smaller desk but still have plenty of space....
I have been scouring local antique shops/secondhand stores for the perfect desk - old, wooden & spacious.
I am creating an inspiration board.
I already have the perfect chair - old & v comfy.
And I am putting together bits of this & that....a lamp, books, magazines, some shelving....
all designed to add inspiration & beauty.
If I could incorporate some aspects of the workspaces/office below, I'm pretty sure I'd have my dream space....
....and finally, my dream space, although with those windows I might spend much more daydreaming than actually working!

What beautiful workspaces! Having my own home office is also a current obsession of mine - I have my eye on a disused garage/coach house in the garden that is presently full of junk and garden furniture. I so wish that I could be one of those industrious ladies that I read about in blogs all over the world, that just roll up their sleeves and set to it to create an amazing space out of nothing. Alas, as an ex-city girl - I am still very wary of the country bugs, mice and Lord knows what that I imagine lurking behind the sit on mower!!! You can take the girl out of London...!

I can totally picture you in that top space- maybe because I can picture it in your home. There is something great about having a space of one's own to embrace your creativity. I loving having Mabel for just that- but- I could see myself in that white space with the two black industrial lights... :)

They all look beautiful work spaces, Simone...I'm very fortunate in having a studio to work from but I have to say I still think I spend more time in the kitchen working...you see it has the kettle and the COFFEE!!!
Have a lovely day ;-)

Those are all gorgeous spaces, Simone! A window near my workspace is a major priority! When Steff moves away, I am making her room into my office/guest room - so I am super excited about the space. This week my office is a cot in the hospital room right next to my guy - who is doing very well! Have a wonderful day, loving friend! xxoo

Oh my. What a perfectly timed post for me to read. As I write this I'm sitting in my own half-finished office. With a wall that aches for something special, so I've got my creative juices flowing and I need a rug, or should I paint the floor? Anyway, it's all on my mind and your pictures will be dutifully inspected...Leslie (aka Gwen Moss blog)
The all important work space...you have a great collection here Simone and I think very achievable with a little creative thinking...something you most definetly have. There are so many wonderful antique...vintage shops around you. I created something similar to the second photo and found it to be really useful and easy to move. The 'work horses' under the table top could be almost anything. I saw one recently using two big urns..loved that look. Wishing you every success in your hunt...wish I could join you!

I feel your pain. What could have become my workspace will now be the new baby's nursery. I have got a little dressing table in our bedroom though that might be transformed into a desk. Not ideal, but better than nothing.
Hi Simone,
Well, I love all of the workspaces that you have shown but, I love what you are doing the best.....an old desk, a comfy chair and all of your essential bits and pieces around you. An individual Simone space !
We have a study with an old desk that a friend made for us many, many years ago and it's in the front of the house so that I can daydream out of the window !.....BUT.....I usually have my laptop on my lap in the lounge in the evening.
Enjoy collecting your workspace essentials Simone. XXXX
Great selection here Simone am in dire need of a work space makeover this was some much needed inspiration.
