My niece, Becky, just purchased her first place – really proud of her!!! Becky’s small condo has a room that’s referred to as a second bedroom, but truth be told, it is beyond tiny and does not have a closet. I suppose a twin bed could be crammed against the wall with a mini table to one side. While the room lacks square footage, it does get an enviable amount of brilliant sunshine. Becky has been stressing out about making this room into a stylish and happy home office with a cozy sitting area, all on a modest budget. I told her: don’t worry, let’s go shopping. Please know that my niece, as much as I love her, is not a tone-on-tone girl – she adores color! Our first and only stop was HomeGoods.

And just to be clear, this is not a sponsored post nor have we been compensated by HomeGoods.

I fell in love with the tailored lines of this small-scaled clubchair, and Becky couldn’t resist its aqua-blue color, so we grabbed it. Just look at those tapered straight legs, front castors and nail head trim – beautiful! It became the starting point for the room.
Then we found the geometric print and, of course, a coordinating pillow. (The framed print was $35 after discount so I had to have one myself.) Starting to look very colorful – Miss Becky was all smiles 🙂
Time to jazz it up a bit and look for something different. Hiding in the artwork section was this dresser with a silver leaf finish. It does have some scratches, so check everything carefully. Again, the size is perfect and it’s young, glam and unexpected.
The Danish Wishbone chair is mine, but I’m thinking Becky should have it for her desk chair. We didn’t find a desk, though. Any suggestions?
Her condo is being painted as well as carpeted, so I’m holding the goodies at my shop…..very tempting, Becky!
Cheers,
Loi
