lynn, the boxes of hardwood were labeled "red cumaru" but I don't know if that's correct. We had several problems with the NC company we ordered from and (while we think the floors are pretty) they're not the Brazilian Teak we ordered. dilly, I can't wait to add some storage containers under the desk but we have a 17month old right now and she would have too much fun pulling everything out of the drawers. I think by the end of summer I may be able to get away with some storage under there. I love the picture of the wicker drawers...where did you find that?

Put styles in top search box, such as casual, transitional, eclectic. Look at the ideas and note what you like and don't like. With the eclectic style, you need to unify the space as follows: (I have eclectic style all throughout my condo) use color, or texture all throughout the room to give it a unified look. Have an overall plan before you do anything. Get yourself a thin three hole binder with loose leaf paper, tabs, and plastic top loading sheet protectors. Categories will include: budget, ideas, styles, color themes, stores. White is fine, however, to prevent your space from looking like a hospital, you'll need to include a lot of natural elements such as wood, wicker, and plants. Don't be afraid to go big or go home!!! When I put white home office ideas in top search box, I get a lot of ideas. One thing you can do to increase storage is look for a tall unit for in between the doors. Neat freaks can use open storage, otherwise, get a closed unit with doors. Measure twice, buy once!!! Remember, unity, unity, unity! Make sure your end result is a unified space that flows well. Please give us a floor plan with measurements so we can help you further.

I don't know anything about your job, the tasks you need to perform or your relationship with your boss, but I am going to make my recommendation based on these two comments 1. You recently started this job, would like to paint it a dark color, but my boss thinks it will make the office feel even smaller. 2. Mainly I want it to feel tranquil, welcoming, and helpful for concentration. Do not paint your walls a dark color. Your new boss has given you an opinion. Your not going to make a great impression by doing something they have advised against as one of your first acts. Do not paint your walls gray or black. These are great colors for power negotiations, but not great for concentration or productivity. If you are doing repetitive tasks brighter, more stimulating colors help with accuracy. If you are doing more complex cognitive tasks a softer blue and green both enhance concentration. To make the room feel masculine I would use a mid toned grayish green or a mid toned slightly grayed blue without overdoing the gray or going excessively dark. I would pick the art for over the computer first and then pick a wall color that complements the colors in the art. I would get art that has some richer colors and higher contrast to help balance the calming effects of the wall color. If the art is primarily blues and greens and the wall color is blue or green you will want a couple of items with some orange or yellow to add warmth. Hopefully the art has some warm tones, then you can use something on your desk that has some warmth.
