Messin' In My Office Cont'd

Here's a little update on the Office Messin' around I've been working on.
In my effort to create this sort of well traveled look I've been selecting items to create this little gallery on my (dresser top) office bureau.

Of course you've seen my white monkey in the cloche from last week's post as seen here (link) 
A few things left and a few things were brought in
to create my new look.

Things always look more interesting in the evening when the lighting is different and highlights are created.

Last year I picked up this Tang horse and I thought he should stay with this theme since it represents the Chinese Tang Dynasty.  The picture with the blue door is a photo from Greece.  I've long had an infatuation with elephants.  The lamp was acquired several years ago. 

There is a young one snuggled behind her big ear.

A little trinket box I borrowed from my desk

My clock I also relocated that was on my desk. 
That was a T.J. Maxx find a few years ago.  
It looks like an old antique.

On the far right a Bombay jar I acquired from Ebay last year.  I think it was for pot-pourri but I decided a candle inside would show off the cut outs on the lid.
This rust colored bust seemed like a good fit and my old world globe definitely stays in this eclectic mix for my well traveled look.


So there you have it.  My new updated look for the office bureau.

  9. Hi Liz,
    Very eccentric look of a world traveler! The white monkey is perfect...The little blue & white pot with the wholes in the lid would make a great container for a small arrangement of fresh flowers as the lid would act like a flower frog. A flower stem in each hole in the lid and water in the pot. Would be very nice with some exotic fresh flowers in them.
    All the Best,
    Christine

  16. Hello there, Lovely Liz!
    What I like: everything.
    What I Love: The light (you're so right going for that cozy and intimate glow), the pieces chosen...
    What I absolute adore: The frames leaning on the wall. That solution is so much better for restless hands like ours - always wanting, and dreaming of, change - isn't it?!
    Going to move my home office... the term is used with generous hand, as it is just a desk ahahahah... going to put it under the stairs. And I'm really "stealing" your idea of leaning frames (already thinking what I'm framing... first... and second ;))
    Thank you for sharing. And Inspiring!
    Love,
    Teresa
