We’ve put down the Be My Neighbor Rug that Brandon and I bought almost two months ago.
It’s in his office, looking awesome.
Bookshelves line one wall of the room, and as I showed you last week, that’s where all of our DVDs are currently stored.
Brandon displays a lot of his stuff on top, and also on the shelves above.
The desk was left behind by our home’s previous owners, and the chair is from IKEA. Brandon doesn’t work from home like I do, so we figured that the chair would be fine for light, occasional use. It looks nice but unfortunately it has developed a loud creak that we can’t fix.
What’s that on his desk in lieu of fresh flowers, you ask? Fire Flowers!
OK, so his office is more like a combination of Google Maps PLUS geeky pop culture references.

Love this soo much! I have a question though – What are the green, flower-ish things in the white vase (second photo)? That’s just what I’ve been looking to add to my guest bedroom.

printed rugs are so popular these days. Im gonna create my own fire flowers and mushroom. I might as well construct a metal pipe for quickly tunneling down from my room in the attic down to the first floor.

Very cool room. Kind of 60’s retro.

I LOVE seeing this rug in a real room! I’ve seen it before, but could never picture how it would work with other decor. It looks perfect. Funky cool, yet totally at home in your well-designed place.
Kathy
I was going to ask about the green balls also? Do tell.
I love the fire flowers, Maaa-rio!
Kathleen
When I first saw that rug on the market I thought it would be tricky to pull off but you guys did it swimmingly!
Also, are the green balls a plant? What kind?

I’d never get any work done in that office, too many lovely things to look at :-) Did I spot a pacman/space invader thingy made out of lego on the wall? I am so stealing that idea!!!
April Johnson
I am loving the light saber. I’m sorry. I was drawn to it. His room looks great! I love the fire flowers.
Dasha
Great rug!
Also, what are the green things by your TV? Are they dried flowers?
Jesselyn
It’s a good thing you are married to that man, because otherwise I would steal him from you!
ana
i have the same chair and it makes a loud noise too! it’s in my living room so every time someone is over and seats on it, they think they broke it! and i have to explain to them that it already made that noise…ugh, yeah it looks nice but it’s uncomfortable and it’s heavy and that noise, makes me wish i never bought it.
Amanda Nicole

I’m loving those flowers…

Your home is amazing and your blog is so inspirational! I used to work for Interface so I have a soft spot in my heart for those carpet tiles. I have some of the solid color felt-like ones on my closet floor.
I was wondering the same thing about the PacMan ghost!
Jessibee
The google maps description cracked me up!

The rug looks faboulous! But I need to ask, the pacman-ghost, is that made of legos? :D
