A few months ago while in the beginning phases of decorating my office I was lucky enough to have a little help from an amazing company, Euro Style Lighting (they gifted me with my gorgeous ghost chairs and desk lamp).  And today I’m thrilled to be partnering with them again to bring all of you a very lovely, very amazing giveaway.  One lucky winner will win a $150 gift card to spend however their little heart desires at ESL.  Personally if I were the big winner (which obviously I can’t be) I’d be contemplating THIS, THESE, THIS, and THIS just to name a few.  The fine print and legal mumbo jumbo is below, but hooray for Mondays and hooray for adding a little something new to your home.  What better way to usher in a new season?  Good luck!  truly, MKR.

The legal mumbo jumbo...this giveaway is open to US and Canadian residents and will run through Sunday the 15th with our winner announced Monday the 16th.  We’ll be running this all through Rafflecopter (below) which allows you to earn points for each item completed with a simple click of the button.  The more points you earn the more likely you are to win (and remember you probably already have entry points if you’re a regular reader of the blog).

This post and giveaway was sponsored by Euro Style Lighting, but the opinions, and obvious love of ESL is all my own!  Images via Rustic White Photography.

When decorating my office I knew I wanted and needed an inspiration board, but couldn’t bear the thought of putting an eye sore of a bulletin board up on my gorgeous Thibaut wallpaper.  Solution, make a wallpapered inspiration board with my left over Thibaut Tanzania paper of course.  So easy I promise anyone can do it.  Happy DIY-ing.  truly, MKR

What you’ll need…

1. Wallpaper or fabric (size dependent on the size of your bulletin board)
2. Bulletin board with a metal boarder
3. Adhesive spray

What to do…

1. Remove metal boarder and be very careful when removing not to bend it.  It really needs to retain it’s original shape.
2. Scrape excess glue and cork off the boarder…we used a flat head screwdriver for this task.  This is extremely important so that when you put the boarder back on it doesn’t rip the paper and so the boarder sits flush against the board.
3. Spray board and paper with adhesive spray and quickly lay paper on to your board.  Smooth out any bubbles you may have.
4. Wrap excess paper around edges of your board and carefully reattach metal border.
5. Let sit 24 hours before hanging.

About a month ago my gal pal Meg asked me if I’d participate in her Behind The Biz series.  Obviously the answer was yes as I adore Meg, her blog, her biz, and her desire to support entrepreneurs.  So I urge you all to check out the interview if you want to hear me speak very candidly about  the pitfalls, the joys, and all that jazz that goes with starting and growing my own biz.  And since I’ve been getting a ton of questions about my office space I thought I’d share some additional pics here on my blog.  And speaking of my office…this is just the first of a few posts to come about the space itself.  Next week I’ll be talking the DIY logistics of creating my inspiration board with my left over Thibaut wallpaper and In September I’ll be sharing my desktop and all the details with Delighted Magazine.  Images per usual via Rustic White and a shout out to the uber talented Meredith Heron who introduced me to my Thibaut Tanzania wallpaper.  TGIF Loves!  truly, MKR
