Last week, I was thrilled that the lastest issue of Rue Magazine revealed one of my favorite parts of the Loft Life 2.0, the first ever Apartment 34 offices!  Above are some outtakes from my shoot with Emily Anderson that didn’t quite make the cut. I couldn’t be happier with how the space turned out.

I had the simultaneous joy and challenge of starting with a completely blank slate – a 10 x 12 room with concrete floors and blank walls {after I painted them with Benjamin Moore 01 White, my must have color}. While I knew the general furniture pieces and placement I was going for, the style evolved very organically. All it took was one walk-through of my favorite furniture resource in San Francisco, H.D. Buttercup. The bright white color palette and metallic accents jumped out at me immediately. My favorite piece in the space has to be my desk. Made of remnant pieces of petrified wood, I love having a spot to settle in and get down to business! 

Of course, I also had to pick up accessories to give the eye something interesting to land on. The room is dotted with lacquer and acrylic trays, my favorite way to organize bits and bobs. I’m tad obsessed with my artichoke container on my desk, which now holds my collection of washi tape! It came from Cavalier Goods in San Francisco, and if you’ve never stopped by yet, I highly recommend it!

I hope you enjoyed this first little peek into the loft. There’s much more to come very soon!! For now, head over to Rue Magazine to see the entire space!
