The Space Off challenge in episode 6 was to design a work space for a work-at-home female blogger. Her room was too large for just a place to work and she wanted to incorporate a Zen-like area where she could not only meet with clients,but also recharge, relax, and inspire.
We imagined our female blogger to be a modern day Dear Abby –a family therapist that has a practice and blogs about issues surrounding today’s families. We provided comfortable and practical seating to sooth and relax her clients,and color that provides a sense of calmness, happiness,and energy.
The credenza is a great storage area and is a perfect place to stash all the home office equipment, such as a printer and scanner.The bookshelves not only have displays and storage,but also give a perception of balance. The positioning of the leather swivel chairs is a great use of space and more than meets the criteria of sensible seating.These chairs can be angled towards the desk, reversed to the sectional, or facing each other for more directional conversation. The sofa with chaise provides a comfy place to relax and recharge!
The end tables provide additional storage and the mirror fronts give warmth and reflection. The artwork continues to add depth and calmness.But what would a home office be without the main items–the desk and chair! We loved the distressed finish and lightweight feel of the desk and the adjustable chair also has a swivel feature.
Your home office should be a happy place, not just functional, but soothing and inspiring. Now that’s something to blog about…

What is making brass so appealing right now? Well for starters, this isn’t your grandmother’s brass. When many people think of brass, they may only remember the heavy, uniform look of 1960’s-1970’s pieces, but oh, how times have changed!

This UltraComfort of America “Stellar” recliner has the most positions available in their line. The back and leg support move independently of each other, you can lie in zero gravity, and you can raise your feet above your heart—which is perfect for increasing circulation & decreasing swelling.
I am so grateful that my profession as an interior designer has allowed me to help my Mother & others with projects just like this. For me, it doesn’t get any better than helping people feel more comfortable in their own environments. I say every day, “If it looks like I’ve been there, I haven’t done my job.” I have the privilege of helping my clients design their own sense of home. The pieces they select will be part of their everyday lives LONG after our time together is over. So, you see all of us at Furnitureland South work together to get what you love on our trucks, so that our kind, patient & devoted delivery team can bring you the same level of bliss that my Mother is feeling right now.

Christopher Guy: A Contemporary Mood with Classic Values
Elegant, sophisticated, sexy… these words best describe this collection, which includes furniture, art, lighting, mirrors, and accessories. Distinctive forms that are curvy and feminine will stand the test of time, just like Coco Chanel’s Little Black Dress. The quality and craftsmanship of Christopher Guy pieces is very high end. You may have already seen creations by CG if you have visited the Bellagio, Ritz Carlton, or some of the finest residences, hotels, and resorts in the world. Once you discover CG, you will understand its global appeal.
Born in England on September 3, 1960 and raised in France and Spain, Christopher Guy Harrison enjoyed an upbringing rich in culture and innovative designs. His business venture into design began in 1993 when he formed Harrison & Gil, which specialized in high-end modern mirror frames. In 2005, the company was renamed Christopher Guy and expanded to include a full line of furniture. The company employs over 1400 craftsmen within their own manufacturing facility in Java, Indonesia.
The signature crisscross leg, designed and globally patented by CG, was inspired by a ballerina’s crossed legs.
A mixture of shapes, materials, textures, and scale creates a stunning room. Individual mirror panels enable ease of entry and installation. CG has one of the world’s most sought after framed mirror collections. Many of the mirrors in the CG collection were inspired by beautiful jewelry. Most mirrors are available in 4 -5 sizes and various finish options.
Classic, timeless, elegant. This bergere chair has a reinterpreted shape and scale… ooh la la!
This sweeping reverse camel back sofa with varying width channel detail looks elegant when paired with the Art Deco inspired chair.
The sensuous, uninterrupted curves on this settee are accented by fluted legs and balanced by the irregular shape of the cocktail table.
The first thing I see in this mirror is happiness… such a delightful dressing table.
Modern, yet classic. Elegant, yet playful. I love the Lucky 8 lamp and the texture of the wall sculpture.
This sumptuous tufted headboard with outreaching cabriole-styled arms whispers luxury. It is available in Queen, King, and California King.
This exquisite statement executive desk balances power and femininity.
The end of 2014 was punctuated with a grand expansion and redesign of the 3500 sq. ft. Christopher Guy gallery at Furnitureland South.
I hope you will book your trip to see for yourself. There is nothing like being here.
