Welcome back to the One Room Challenge. This is week 2 { see week 1 if you missed it }. I'm making over a small loft office space in a chic downtown space. I'm all about the black and white look so today I am sharing a bit of the plans for the decorating thats about to go down. Ordering items always takes time so getting a plan together before you actually decorate is always best. In terms of the layout here is what I am thinking...

I love the idea of a computer workstation and art wall. The art I've chosen is a mix of her feminine and boho glamour. I found the chic artwork on minted. I am choosing all black frames for the black and white art so as to not compete but complement the computer screen so it all looks like one big, beautiful gallery wall.

I also am pretty much obsessed with the Jonathan Adler sconce that I found on lamps plus. We are going to throw in some chic white Eames chairs with wood on the base to break up the harshness in the space. I am all about adding natural elements here. I also love this black and white chevron basket to put her drafts and photography poles in. I want to keep her workspace clutter free and super clean so on the opposite side of the desk, we will put the large white bookcase filled with all that she needs.

I find that adding some vintage finds she already has in her home will really be what makes a more loft + modern space, warm. Next, I'll add some greenery to the room, which will give amazing life and energy to the space. I also love how green looks against black and white. I found this plush moroccan rug at Wayfair for a GREAT price. It pulls together all the black items and adds a textural element to the room since we are opting for no curtains. The open windows in her loft space are so pretty.

That's it for now, will fill you in on more next week. Don't forget to check out my other fab decoristas and their ORC's:

Trademarked by Calling it Home

1. I had the best start to the week in Chicago last week. I hadn't been in forever and it was such a wonderful time. Along with a few design meetings, I had to stop in to some stores I had been dying to visit. One, Buckingham ID. This store was so pretty and colorful I loved everything about it.

2. The painted lady. Such a beautiful store, very French, very soft and romantic. I just loved the ambiance and vibe. I also found some chic clothes here too.

3. Jayson Home & Garden. This store was incredible. I loved how dark and dreamy everything looked. It's a very masculine vibe but not too much, there was just the right amount of feminine flair that I was absolutely in love! I'm especially into feathers right now, so these art prints really called my name.

4. I also fell madly in love with this python desk. Hard to see in this photo, but oh my goodness it was such a stunner. I really really really want one!

5. Meanwhile, back in Texas...I was so excited and proud to have my Austin home featured in the current issue of Adore Home Magazine. Was beyond an honor. And for those of you who asked about my ensemble...

6. My most recent update is my new art piece I created and put up in the space where the mirror was. Art x Ashlina commission pieces available. {email for info}

7. I also felt something was missing in my space. Then I realized, hello! Black and white stripes are pretty much a signature print for me. So I headed over to Pottery Barn to grab these gorgeous pillow cases.

8. Also, so many of you have asked about my skulls in my home and where I got them. This crystal skull is from Zgallerie. I'm obsessed.

9. Not only am I obsessed with tie dye flowy dresses, I am now obsessed with tie dye rugs. Genius.

10. I am also very much now into anything with fringe. This weekend was Austin City Limits and the fashion around town was amazing. Tons of fringe happening and I fell hard for these fab boots.
