It’s Like Living in Google Maps
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.

The rug looks faboulous! But I need to ask, the pacman-ghost, is that made of legos? :D
I am so in love with that room.
Looks amazing in there !!
The google maps description cracked me up!
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!
I’m loving those flowers…
hi nicole,
the rug rocks! and thanks for featuring the fire flowers! i showed shawn and he totally did an “aw shucks!”
xo,
shana
p.s. to everyone asking about the ghost – they’re made by my oh so talented husband http://pixelparty.etsy.com
That rug is awesome!! My hubs would definitely love one! And the Fire Flowers are just hilarious hehe! Love it!
cool office!
I adore that rug. The whole office is fabulous!
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.
It’s a good thing you are married to that man, because otherwise I would steal him from you!
Great rug!
Also, what are the green things by your TV? Are they dried flowers?
I am loving the light saber. I’m sorry. I was drawn to it. His room looks great! I love the fire flowers.
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!!!
i just love that FLOR! Fabulous color and pattern.
Love the office, great job! I still love, love, love that graphic red upholstered chair. beautiful!
What a GREAT rug, I love it! His office looks very inspiring.
the rug and those fire flowers are fantastic and so cheeky. i love it!
Im so getting my brother one of those flowers.
My fiance James has the same Futurama sign in his office. Brandon’s got a great space, even if he doesn’t work from home!
I love everything… especially the red & white chair I’ve been lusting after for the past couple years! Sooo cute ;)
what a cool, COOL office!! I love it!
Brandon’s office is really the best place for that rug, looks amazing!
Mario! Love Brandon’s office, brings out the kid in you. :) I always love to a little (or a lot) of whimsy in a space. Very fun & creative.
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 was going to ask about the green balls also? Do tell.
I love the fire flowers, Maaa-rio!
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.
Very cool room. Kind of 60′s retro.
Yes, indeed those are Super Mario flowers.
Wickedly cool.
Love the rug. My husband would KILL for that office!
I love the pixelated art! Vintage video game references are fun! The rug rocks and goes well with the mood of it.
Love the entire room! Wow!
mary

I gots to be knowing what those cool green ball flowery items are popping outta that vase! And the wooden atari flowers rule.
That chair is fabulous! Where can I get one like it?
Hey Jessica – I think it’s the Jakob chair from IKEA.
The ghost and flowers are fab!
I’m pretty sure I need fire flowers!
Oh, I really love seeing the man “cave” and all his toys….
Cool space to go and hide or listen to music.

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.
[...] chair was intended for Brandon’s office but now that I have it here, it seems a little too short. It’s comfortable though, and it [...]
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.
[...] got the new Flor catalog in the mail yesterday and it may well be my savior. And ever since I saw Nicole talk about the Be my neighbor rug from Flor I have been obsessed with [...]
