Working from home, however, is without a doubt the most efficient place to create, write, do admin tasks and get back to those countless emails I’ve undoubtedly put off. WFH is something I’ve done for 7 years now. When I’m not traveling, I’m logging hours and hours at my desk sorting through the content we shot while away because let’s be honest. Those photos aren’t going to edit themselves 😉
As of late last year, I was finally able to design my first home office. Now, after 3,583,302 days in quarantine, memories from working on a hotel room floor are faint as my home office begins to feel like the new normal.
World Map Wallpaper
This world map wallpaper is my favorite thing to come out of quarantine. It comes in three panels and the dimensions are customizable to any wall size. All it takes is some wallpaper adhesive, ideally another person to help you, and some patience.
Desk
Never have I ever owned a proper desk all to myself before. I wanted something with ample space, drawers and light coloring. This writing desk checked all the boxes and didn’t break the bank.
Office Chair
This one’s important. At first, I was all about fashion when it came to office chairs. After I realized this was at the expense of my back/posture, I realized function mattered more. I have the Herman Miller Aeron Ergonomic Office Chair, and I’ve never looked back.
Bookends
To properly house books, one needs bookends. These little ladies were the perfect addition to my all of my yoga reads!
Bookshelf
Just like all of us, my books need a home. I was on the hunt for a beautiful wooden bookshelf that would stand the test of time. It also had to fit between my office windows. This one stood out above the rest, my favorite detail being the curved edges. Check out some of my favorite books here.
Letter Trays
It’s not exactly in my nature to be extremely organized, but I’m taking notes from my insanely good assistant and trying. These letter trays were a great first step in organizing specific documents and hard drives.
Productivity Notepad
Gotta love a good accountability notepad. I’m always jotting down notes on a check list, and the best feeling is being able to physically scratch off a to-do item. My assistant had these Erin Condren pads personalized for me – and I’m OBSESSED. It’s a small business, too, so go check it out!
World Notebook
I need a bound notebook that can live on my desk for anything from yoga sequences to blog post ideas. When I travel, I slip it in my carry-on and jot down new notes or reference old ones. My fave thing is that the entire pad is customizable!
Thank You Notes
I’m a southern girl, and my momma taught me well. It’s good practice to get into the habit of writing thank you notes to those who sent a gift or did something special for you. Plus, is there anything better than receiving a handwritten note in 2020??
Luxe Candle
Because if I can’t be in the tropics, at least I can smell the tropics…
Antique Globe
I have this exact globe sitting on a ledge of my bookshelf. It uses solar cell technology to rotate silently on its own and constantly makes me want to book a plane ticket. It also makes for a great gift!
De’Longhi Espresso Machine
While this espresso machine isn’t housed in my actual office, it’s a large part of my work day. Yes, it’s an investment but I haven’t paid for a drive-through coffee in months. It’s so good…we travel with it 🙂
Plants and Planters
Ever since I revealed my world wallpaper, I’ve been getting lots of Qs on my plants. Hate to burst your bubble, but they’re fake! Find most of them (and then some) below!

Ni ~ from Florida
Thank you! It’s from Morocco years back, and the color makes me so happy!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Where did you order the wall mural?! Thank you!
Thank you! It’s linked in the post 🙂
What an inspiring office! I love the thank you notes especially- how important! My burning question is girl how do you travel with an espresso machine? Lol. This makes me giggle but I love imagining it because as a flight attendant going everywhere with Just a carryon, that’s never a possibility. 😂 So I love that you do!
Ha! I love this question. My fiancé loads it into one of his padded drone cases and checks it under the plane. He’s here to bring coffee snob to a whole new level 🙂
love your space! and i love that you added in some erin condren!
