Back and Home Office Inspiration

Hi friends! My apologies for the long break. Summer time is nuts. Back at it now and the next few months are the busiest yet *deep breath* .

And because we tend to do more when we're busy, I'm thinking about a little home office redo. Here are some inspiration photos.

The ideas are coming together. I'd like to to be more neutral in color - white, blue, brass - with texture and uncluttered decor. I also would love a love seat or chair as another seating option besides my desk. 

Here's hoping this gets done in the next few months :)

Empress Wedding

Like the vintage mis-matched champagne glasses? Get in touch! We have over 200 available for rent.

Little Lounge. Big Impact.

It doesn't take a truck load of furniture to make an impact at your event. Mini lounges, even micro-mini lounges with just a few pieces, can add a focal point and a special element your guests will love.

Here are a few examples of lounges that use fewer than 3 pieces of furniture.

 Two ottomans, a few pillows and a throw can seat numerous guests and is super cost effective.

The lesson here? It doesn't take a lot of furniture or a lot of money to create a special space for your guests to enjoy. Email us at hello@bashspecialty.com and we can put together a custom mini lounge just for you :)

#TheTinyCanalCottage

I came across #TheTinyCanalCottage on Instagram a few weeks back and it has to be my new favorite way to time suck. Whitney, her boyfriend and little beagle live in a 325 square foot cottage in the canal area of Venice, CA.

I apologize in advance for posting too many pictures. So many good ones! Check out #TheTinyCanalCottage on IG for more amazingness.

It was a creative, inspiring week. A big thanks to everyone involved and a special thanks to sweet Josh, the bell hop, at the Parkside hotel for helping me carry a couch through a garage when we went through the wrong door.
