Gilded Office Decor


I moved into a new office at work recently and realized that even though I've had my own office for almost 2 years, I've truly never bothered to decorate it.  To make it my own.  To put my own personality into the room.  Which is probably the reason my last office always felt a little "temporary" to me.  There's a fine line, of course, between decorating for home and decorating for work.  I want my office decor to be familiar, make me feel comfortable, but completely within the bounds of work appropriate (and yes, partially this is a limit I put on myself, and I'm fine with that).  The funny thing is that I'm in the construction industry, so a picture of a toilet or bathroom would be included in the appropriate category.

Just so you know, when I started searching Office Decor for this post, I never (surprisingly) intended for it to be all about gold.  Apparently my love of Gold is now seeping into decorating and it's HOT right now because everywhere I searched, Gold is prominently featured.  This is a trend I am completely on board with.


funny, but no:
yolo is never appropriate at the office.  Unless you work at a skydiving school.
Yes, that's a gold dino planter. I don't know either.
I don't often use pencils, but if I did, this would be an absolute must.
Office decor I could only do at a home office:
Gold Chevron wall. So amazing.
I'd do gold and white Brocade on the wall instead of this pattern, but still nice and clean
Love the gold screen as an accent

Actual possibilities for my office:
I'd love to do black & white prints of my own photos in different gold frames
LOVING this canvas wrap (gold feathers, could it be more appropriate for me?)
It wouldn't need to be this big, but an ornate gold framed mirror might be just the thing

Golden Tidbit:

I truly can't believe that no one ever pointed out I didn't have a Gold Stapler.  Honestly, this seems like an obvious one.  Already ordered and on it's way to me for just $24 from Furbish
