We remember seeing them at West Elm so that's a good place to start. You might also want to try eBay or a discount store like TJ Maxx. Hope it helps! xo, s

Where can I get one of those extra large "paper clips" like Carrie has on her side table? I'd love one for my desk! Hey guys!

We're all about balancing function with form, so when Carrie suggested we move her "office" into the bedroom we were totally game. It's all about what works for the homeowner- or renter in this case! Hope it helps. xo, s

Was that work space completely eliminated in this makeover? Was it relocated to another room in the apartment? I think the removal of that definitely helped the room look more open, inviting, and spacious, but it's not always practical to lose a desk.

I love what you did with Carrie's space...and I'm currently apartment searching. I love the look of Carrie's apt and I was wondering if you would let me know of the name of the building. Thanks!
