We're in the midst of remodeling here at 5s, and have spent the last few months scouring magazines, books and blogs in search of inspiration for creating a chic office space. Let's face it- most of us are workaholics and if we had to wager, we'd put our money on the fact that most people we know spend as much... if not more time in their office than they do at home.
For us, it was really important to decorate our office/gallery space with items and furniture that reflected our personality, but also maintained a sense of professionalism. Your space should foster creativity, not stifle it with boring surroundings!
Luckily, we're very fortunate to have some amazing architectural aspects to work with: Exposed whitewashed brick, concrete floors and high ceilings. BUT- renovating on a budget is always tricky...no matter how great your existing surroundings are, so it's important to get creative.
Our tricks: Double-duty furniture like a hutch that can be used for storage, floor-to-ceiling curtains that add a stylish element while also separating space and most importantly... flowers. No matter how dreary a space is, a floral arrangement will always kick it up a notch. It's a small investment that really packs a punch.

Please post pics, looking forward to seeing the end result!! I am currently looking for a sideboard with hutch to use in my bedroom as a bookshelf (without doors) and extra storage!
