What does a Feng Shui expert with a loneliness engaging space do? Well, he conceptualizes a cube to be inserted into his 1,100sqft studio workspace, of course! Bay Area Feng Shui expert, Liu Meng, felt that his work/living space was too vast for him alone, but needed the space to conduct classes. In an attempt to bring comfort to himself, he came up with an unconventional solution to isolating his private space from students, while maintaining a smooth motion and path between his work, and living space: an 8 foot cube equipped with stairs, an abundance of storage space, and an upper deck! This might just be the answer to our home office issues, granted we have enough additional space to construct it!

Earth Hour, Earth Day, Earth Year… everyday that we are on this earth should be a reason for us to celebrate the big lady for living strong for us. One of the easiest ways to save Mother Earth from the predicaments of Wall-E and all post-apocalypctic movies (yes, that includes zombies and aliens attacks, for what makes zombies is a polluted earth and its residents, and what makes aliens want to kill us all would be our idiocy of abandoning our land for the development of greed) would be to reuse the old things you have lying around with a new light. Designsponge did a roundup of Sneak Peeks: Best of Reuse, and we spotted a few resourceful ideas to use in our own homes.

(all pictures in this post are from A Beautiful Mess)
This week, instead of highlighting themed inspiration boards, I’d like to talk to you about working from home. Due to the heavy concerns involving nurseries and play school, be it the increduously high school fees or the constant decrease in safety, I actually work from home while taking care of my two kids, and I’ve been doing so for the past two years. A lot of moms ask me how I do it, juggling both work and the kids. Note: I do not have hired help, nor do I have anyone else but my insanely helpful husband, who works regular hours. Hence, I do everything on my own between 9am-6pm, and go into the Gin & Jacqie office twice a week when my husband is off. If you ask me how I do it, I’d give all the credit to having a very loving and understanding husband, and a great team behind Gin & Jacqie.
If you’re thinking of working from home, Elsie from A Beautiful Mess (one of my favorite blogs to visit for amazing pictures and posts when facing a mental block) posted a Q&A that covers relevant concerns about working from home, from maintaining motivation, to handling clutter, to dealing with business and personal funds. And look at how amazing their workspace/home is:
  
So if there’s one tip I have to give to all you eager “work from home-ers,” I’d recommend that you begin by creating a space of inspiration, be it a corner or an entire room. Create a system within this design and let it work for you. Affordable Ikea shelvings and file holders are great for customization projects, and will keep your work space organized from clutter. Hanging up inspirational quotes also help keep you motivated, not to mention brighten up your space.
It isn’t a hard decision to make, but make it a worthy step made, because I can assure you, working from home is tougher than most people think, especially with kids! Next month, I’ll be posting up how I keep my home office organized. Until then, Happy Friday!

Recently, we’ve noticed an influx of friends who’ve been creating makeshift gardens within their apartment units. Let’s face it, due to the increasing market rate of houses, gardens are hard to come by anymore. Therefore, creating an indoor makeshift garden to bring some of the outdoors in doesn’t sound so out of place anymore. However, we’re all lacking the green thumb and the ability to find an easy to grow plant for our office. So we decided to go with a fun and imaginative faux garden design, and what better way to decorate a garden (or any room for that matter) than with a teepee, some colored animal planters, and little patches of colored mushrooms scattered around the floor?
TGIF, guys! And don’t forget to LIKE us on Facebook for some great deals and sales!
