    1. Converted our spare room into a home office. Bf says it looks like a boutique hotel, not a place to work
    2. where do you get your decorating inspo?
    3. Should I pull the area rug further into the living room? Or is it positioned correctly? First time having an area rug. I’m also going to add a large canvas on the blank wall between the tv and couch. I also want to change the pillow covers, what colors would look nice? Thank you
