As some of you know, I finally moved away from home and into my very own apartment back in January. Yay! I really thought that my place would look picture perfect by now, but I was very, very mistaken. Decorating is the most time consuming thing I’ve ever done, and since I’m on an entry level budget, I’m in no position to buy everything I’d like (aka the entire West Elm catalog).
One thing I did manage to pick up was a desk. While I don’t have a spare room in my small high-rise apartment that could double as an office, I do have the perfect little nook near my window that fit a medium-sized desk perfectly. I never knew how much of a difference a desk would make; my productivity has shot through the roof!
I’m hoping to add some art and decorate my desk space a bit more, but in the meantime, here are glimpses of what I’m hoping to do in my “office”. All of this inspiration comes from my Pinterest page. Make sure to follow along for more interior design, style and food finds!
![THE BEST PLACES TO CATCH SPRING BLOOMS IN @visitpasadena 🌸
After an extremely wet winter, I’m looking for all the spring blooms here in SoCal! Pasadena is only 20 minutes from Downtown Los Angeles, and is packed with some of the most stunning botanical gardens in the area — and definitely should be on your list to visit this spring!
Gardens to Visit in Pasadena This Spring (SAVE this post for later!)
🌸 @descansogardens — look out for Cherry Blossoms in their Japanese Garden, stroll through the Rose Garden and don’t miss the lilacs!
🌸 @nortonsimon — you could spend hours viewing the art here both indoors and outdoors in their Sculpture Garden
🌸 @arlingtonpasadena — a free, three-acre garden that’s home to an orange grove & Yoko Ono’s Wish Tree art installation
🌸 @thehuntingtonlibrary — you won’t want to miss their Cactus Garden, the Conservatory, the Japanese Garden, and the Chinese Garden
🌸 @langhampasadena — enjoy afternoon tea here & take a stroll through their Japanese Garden for Cherry Blossoms!
My fellow SoCal friends — anywhere else I should check out for spring blooms this year? Let me know! 📸 by @foodphotographer [ad]](https://www.aliciatenise.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
I moved into my condo in August and I’m still very far from it being even close to decorated, it definitely takes time! I have been trying to find a space for a desk in my apartment, I love these office inspirations so much!
I love that striped accent wall!
