Home office makeover

Perhaps I’m an exception to the “spring cleaning” norm. Spring gets all the recognition as being the time when people start thinking about “out with the old, in with the new.” But, for me, as the happy-go-lucky mentality of summer dissipates, fall is the season that always sparks the re-thinking bug in me. And luckily, Pottery Barn’s Home Office Event has timed itself perfectly with my productivity calendar!

Wrapping up on September 14, and the current limited-time offers have really caught my eye. I’ve always been a huge fan of Pottery Barn’s classic simplicity and ageless designs, but I’m more impressed than ever with the brand’s ability to uphold the same timelessness while adding innovative and eclectic detailing.


My first thought about this project desk set: I need it. Well, maybe I don’t, but it’s still dream-worthy. It’s both functional and stylish, raising the typical desk standard from boring to beautiful. Now only if I could scrounge up $589 from my piggy bank!

Next, Pottery Barn’s selection of floor and desk lighting has me stumped as far as what I would choose to illuminate my (hopefully!) newly purchased work space. There are so many great options to choose from.


But you can’t go wrong with the Cole Task Floor Lamp. It’s sensible, chic and on sale!


I also love the Duncan Task Table Lamp with an exposed (preferably filament) light bulb. Perfectly described by Pottery Barn as reminiscent of a salvaged fixture from a turn-of-the-century pharmacy, this piece is full of charming character.

Whether you’re ready to take on refurnishing your home office or looking to just revamp your current space with new lighting or organizers, Pottery Barn’s limited-time event has all the necessities for creating a exquisite work space.
