What kind of blogger would I be if I didn’t regularly sing my praises of Jenna Lyons and her chic office? There’s a reason everyone loves this space. She is the coolest.

I realized I was subconsciously channeling her office style while doing some updates to our studio space this month when I had the thought to dye this little faux flokati throw pink.
