Hey guys! I have a special treat for you! I think I've mentioned before I have an aunt who is a FABULOUS decorator. I have always admired her decorating, even when I was young I remember her house being so pretty, she has definitly inspired me. She recently decorated the offices at the family business and they are GORGEOUS! She shops everywhere including antique malls and thrift stores. She can find some of the best pieces for the best prices, it's amazing! The offices have a little bit of everything, including things that she's not using in her own house. She also buys furniture that might need refinishing or just some new fabric. I swear you will think you are looking at photos in a house, but I assure you it's offices. lol...
This is in the entryway. I love this picture over the chest, I think because I have one similar over my mantle. And those chairs....I love that pretty fabric.
She mixed in a little contemporary here and it works beautifully! And look at the dog lamp...
This is in my uncle's office.
Oh how I love this...and look at the sconces with the dogs.
This is in her office. I am really loving that lamp....and the frog, isn't it cool!

Isn't this piece just gorgeous? I love those big blue jars and the way she decorated it is perfection!

I'm in love with that secretary!
This is the coolest chair!!
My mom and I love these butterfly pictures. We both have a thing for butterflies.
This is a conference room, love those big topiarys.
This is another conference room, they both have a horse and dog theme.

This is the kitchen. Isn't the blue so pretty?
This is a pretty little bathroom.
I believe this is the same color as in the kitchen.
She is awesome at decorating bookshelves.

ideas for a little sconce.....
I hope you enjoyed the pictures, can you tell I think she's pretty great!! Maybe she'll let me show you her house sometime, I can't even describe how beautiful it is, all I can say is it should be in a magazine! I hope you got some ideas! Thanks for stopping by, have a great week!

Hi Kristen,
You were so right! She is an amazing decorator. Every room is special and wonderfully done. I like the themes in all the rooms. Her choice of furniture is so elegant.
What a pleasant atmosphere to go and work in everyday. Her employees must love it.
If you can convince her, we would love to drool over her house. (smile)
Holy Mackerel! What an awesome post. I'm totally lost in it - I'll have to go back later and take it in a second time. Kristen, great taste and a flair for decorating definitely run in your family!
Take care, Kim

Hello my friend,
Thanks for coming by and your sweet compliment. Now everything looks clean but empty to me. Oh boy my poor hubby. LOL!
That fire was so scary to see to say the least. Flames were leaping out of the side and it was the house right behind us. Yikes!
Have a great week.
~Melissa ;)
Loved all the gorgeous pics!
Kristen, thanks for swinging by to see my guys. Yes, my Bailey is certainly growing up quickly. He's here with us through the w/k again. It's always nice to have laughter in the house. Can't wait to see pictures of your Aunts house..let her know we're all anxious to see it.. we promist to wipe our feet before heading off to explore..lol hugs ~lynne~
Wow, Kristen, I am new to blogging and I just stumbled on your lovely blog.... glad I did...I could live in that office.
Does your Aunt have a blog? Beautiful...gotta love her use of color. Thank you for the visit.
Kristen, I think she's great too! Everything looks stunning. I can't even begin to list all of the things I loved in these offices. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Oh, I would LOVE to see her home! laurie
Thanks my friend! I'll tell Alex. He will be very grateful you liked his hard work. He really wanted to do this floor project though.
Hey I'll take it right!
The armoire in the garage is for paint and storage supplies. I guess it really does look like a fridge though huh?
I hope you have a new post soon!
I'm missing your pretty posts! :)
Hi Kristen,
I love that shade of green it feels so fresh, but elegant. Your uncle's office with the dogs is my favorite, but they are all so lovely it is hard to choose. Tell your aunt she has become an internet hit!
Cathy
Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures. Those don't even look like offices you are right. She has a great eye and I LOVE her lamps! I'm really into lamps these days and hers are beautiful for sure...as are the paintings.
I know we'd love to see her home too.
have a great day
Judi
So she just finds things that she like, and make up the designs on the spot? In fact, the rooms look amazing. Congratulations.

Oh wow, more eye candy. I am catching up on some blog reading late tonight.
Ok, they wouldn't miss a couple things out of some of these rooms would they? Tee hee
I am in love with the dog painting, that antique table and console under it set and a few more goodies.
Thanks for the fun tour.
