Great job - my only question is how do you expect to fit the chair under that table? Won't the shelf prevent it from sliding in?

Great post! The art reminds me prints that I would find in my Grandma's home (that I love). I don't think that the space is overly functional or practical, but I think that every home needs a small niche of space that isn't completely functional and that is just purely dreamy to look at!

Great post, the recommendations to "acquire it" is so fitting! I agree with @suenu, the chair seems a little big and personally, i'm not a big fan of the table in both photos b/c i feel like the bottom of the table is being wasted and not put into use. But i really like photo #1 and how they added a subtle darker turquoise color so it looks like theres 2 trims.

Glamor isn't the word that comes to mind when I look at this photo ... it tends more to "Shabby Chic" if you must apply a label. But, maybe you and the designer have a different definition for glamor than I do :) I do like the desk and the lamp, however

I'd love to have those vintage chair prints but all sold out! =(

I've just had a look at the whole apartment over on House of Turquoise and it's GORGEOUS, about as real-world glamorous as can be. Love it all, especially that green stripe at the top of the office wall beneath the coving.

A console table is useless as a desk, as others have pointed out. What were you thinking?

However, I love the look of that office. While my own home work space has a very different vibe, it's personal and cozy like this, which to me makes the most sense. If you work at home, why make your workspace look as impersonal as a cubicle? It surprises me how many people just suddenly phone it in right there, in the one space you really need to be more attractive and comfortable than anyplace else.

Anyone have a recommendation for a dustier or more muted turquoise? I'm using Benjamin Moore paint and I'm at a loss. I keep looking at swatches but sometimes the turquoise comes off as too bold, or too blue.

Earlier I posted that I didn't like the look. So what's the deal? We're only allowed to Just Adore everything? I think I am going to leave this group.

I'll admit, it looks beautiful in the photo, but I don't think that it would work in reality. There is not enough desk space to be functional and there is no way that chair will fit under that console table.

OK, on the one hand, you probably can't get the chair all the way under the table as others have mentioned. On the other hand, when you sit at a desk, you DON'T sit that way anyhow -- as I type, my thighs are halfway under the edge of my desk. The chair seat totally clears the desk. I think that's how most of us sit at a desk or table, so really you only need to get your knees beneath, which works in the original room where the center support of the table is under the center.

However, I think the table is visually too frail-looking for the heavier frame and pin-board look above it. A Parsons table with dimensions at least as wide as the frame seems called for to me. Otherwise it's fine -- not to my taste, but pulled together nicely.

@PI -- If you look at the rest of the apartment, you'll see that the former tenant of the apartment, designer Stevan Gambrel, painted the bedroom a softer turquoisy-blue from BM -- Dolphin's Cove. You might want to try that.

Frustrating that the shade of turquoise used elsewhere is not listed in the original Lonny article -- to me, the turquoise by Pantone looks more green.
