I've been thinking about the "homey" office that Vanessa De Vargas of decor8 designed for a client, which I wrote about as a Cool Idea. Although it's not my favorite room in the world, it is really well-composed, has character and color, and manages to function as an office despite decorative accents untraditional of one.
So, I fished around for some products to help you Get the Look (and for less), if you're so inclined.

Vanessa De Vargas of decor8 was recently confronted with the challenge of re-designing a client's record label office so that it felt like she was working from home. She brought in a tufted sofa from JCPenney (no longer available) to cozy up the room, but its plain vanilla fabric had no kick to impress her high-profile rock and pop clients.
She got inventive without dropping big bucks on reupholstering the entire thing and instead had her upholsterer "sew a red and white curtain panel from Urban Outfitters right down the center."

In the next installation of Found It!, I bring you the Vintage Industrial Peg Leg Cart ($799) from American Furnishings. You may have seen this cart used as a coffee table in the boho-modern living room of a couple living in Malmö in my Coveted Crib. In my post, I wrote, "I also adore their coffee table, which looks like a re-purposed dolly (with wheels) of some sort."

In today's Spotlight, the designer is actually an interior stylist. In other words, as Selina Lake said in her recent interview with decor8, her "role is usually to produce images, which are used to sell products, and to inspire magazine and book readers," rather than "to design residential and commercial properties," as an interior designer would. Her editorial experience ranges from decorating and house features to styled shopping shoots and makeovers.
