Wow, beautiful work. I love the painted plates hung together on the wall. Love her aesthetic.

I think it would be all about texture, texture, texture. I think you can warm it up a few ways:

Add a rich hued wood bookcase/desk: http://pinterest.com/pin/399694535649385348/

Add a pillow to the chair with a unique, warm pattern and wall photos/paintings: http://pinterest.com/pin/185914290839386376/

Add warm lighting and flowers to the space (and not sure if it is the type of office where wallpaper would work but that is also a good idea): http://pinterest.com/pin/34410384624747636/

Thanks so much for sharing. As a New Yorker, it is hard to carry gardening supplies across town for me to get for my terrace garden. Will definitely be checking these out!

Planning on moving in the fall to a 2 or 3 bedroom and super excited to have a craft room! It will definitely help the content on my blog and be a great creative outlet for me in addition to a guest room!

I don't but I would really like to. I think I saw a post on Apt Therapy in fact about using magazine pictures as artwork. That would be a great and cheap way to rotate!

My system is simply to put a load in every evening when I get home from work and always put it away that evening. I do about one or two loads an evening. I find the key is to keep on top of it or else it becomes an all-day event!

I agree. I have had bad luck with stick-on hooks, even the heavy duty ones. Although not exactly a pendant lamp, you can get the effect of a ceiling light with some of the lamps that are tall and wrap over, such as these:

Chelsea Sectional Floor Lamp by Pottery Barn http://www.potterybarn.com/products/chelsea-sectional-lamp-base/?pkey=cfloor-lamps

Meryl floor lamp by Crate & Barrel http://www.crateandbarrel.com/meryl-floor-lamp/s518096

Overarching Floor Lamp by West Elm http://www.westelm.com/products/overarching-floor-lamp-white-w779/?pkey=cfloor-lamps

If you really do not want to drill or anything into the ceiling, I think these are your best bet!
