My little "Pink Palace"

Did you get a chance to read the lovely Bethany's interview with Sara B from Lilly?  If not check it out here.  I was so inspired!  I graduated with a degree in Fashion Merchandising and Marketing, and while I no longer work in the fashion industry, I couldn't help but daydream about being surrounded on a daily basis by all things fabulous and Lilly!

I travel quite a bit for business, but when not seeing clients, I work out of my home office.  While I have not had the honor of visiting the Lilly Pulitzer headquarters' "Pink Palace," I wanted to share my very own little pink palace with you.  Come on in!

The crystal chandelier I have had since my very first apartment.




















 






















Plenty of Lilly and pink office accessories!


















I keep stacks of stationery around always.  Thank you note envelopes are pre-stamped so I can grab them in a snap and get them in the mail without worrying I am out of stamps. 

















This sweet lantern Tiffany clock was a gift from my parents on our first wedding anniversary.  It makes me so happy to have it on my desk!

















This photograph is by Claude Taylor whom I discovered while living in D.C.  He specializes in travel photography and his Paris shots are my absolute favorite.  I've been building my collection over the years.  I wish we were at that little pink Parisian cafe having coffee together, friends!

















Hope you enjoyed my little office tour!  Just three weeks until Spring...I'm going to go ahead and turn my calendar over to March :) 

March means I am also closing in on the big 3-0 birthday.  I'll have an update for you on Monday with my progress on my Thirty before 30 list!

Sending great big warm hugs and wishes for a happy weekend.

XOXO,
Trish

  1. Everything is so feminie and pretty. I love it! My mother gave us the same clock on our first anniversary, too! Our fifth anniversary is in April and since one of the gifts is silverware I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she finally gives me her Kirk-Steiff Old Maryland platter. :-)
    Have a wonderful weekend! xoxo

  5. I just had to come back and tell you this Claude Taylor hook-up is going to be a bad thing. I'm telling My John to contact you directly if he has any complaints when he gets the AMEX bill. I lived in Paris for three months once. We would be too busy fighting off the men to have cafe' darlin. French men, love American Woman.
    Stop it with the 30, I don't even wanna hear it.

  19. I absolutely love your Lilly office. So many accents that I truly adore. You did a fabulous job decorating.

    In regards to the side pictures. I got a real kick out of the Mardi Gras photo of you and your hubby. And what a gorgeous Lilly dress you're wearing in the Anniversary photo. You have fantastic taste.

    Have a beautiful week!

  22. Umm do you actually work in there? Or is this the pseudo office. There has to be a button where the wall flips and the REAL office comes out! LOL! Wow super organized and neat. I envy you.

  23. Now that is the kind of home office that I dream about having when we get a bigger house. I’ve been working from home a lot lately and hate to work in the basement at the desk, so I spend most of my time at the dining room table.

    I love the little chandelier, Lilly office accessories and Tiffany clock. That is so special. I have the same Lilly circle notes and calendar on my desk at the office ;)

  29. I LOVE your office! I hope it is okay if I use you for my inspiration to redecorate my office? Question for you, do you know the dimensions in this room? I was looking for your email to email you, would you mind sending it to me so I could ask you a couple of quick questions? Thanks! Jilly jillski@hotmail.com
