Girl/Cave Office Loft After Christmas. I love all the glitter, sparkle, and color of Christmas, but I am also really happy to get it all put away once Christmas is over. Some keep their decor up until after the new year, not me. I am one of those that starts to take things down the day after Christmas. I am always ready to put the house back to normal and give everything a good cleaning. It seems we have remnants of glitter sparkle for weeks after. That stuff is so hard to get vacuumed up. Once everything is packed away, I am ready to refresh each room with something cozy for the new year. One of my favorite places to start is the Girl/Cave Office Loft. I spend a lot of time here, so having it feel new and fresh is always so uplifting.
Playing off the camel color of the settee, I’ve added even more shades of camel with the pillows and throw blanket. 
There are shades of camel in the leather chair, end table, and even the weave of the basket trunk coffee table. I think the secret to a neutral or monochromatic color scheme is making sure there are a lot of different textures in the space. (Want to know a secret? We use this space as our secondary guest room when we have more than a couple. That basket trunk holds the blow-up bed and all the bedding. How handy is that!!) 
The gateleg table that I use as a desk and the mirror are camel colored wood tones too. 
You can see a reflection of the Entertainment Center on the opposite wall in the mirror. It holds office supplies and the TV. The bookcases are a fun place to decorate. I like to change them up and something different to look at. It’s fun to swap out accessories from my stash for a change. 
After the bright colors of Christmas, this is a welcome sight for my eyes. The Girl/Cave Office Loft after Christmas is now a nice calm, cheerful, and cozy space to start off the new year.

After Christmas I like to go with pastels, usually blues, whites…I change out my pillow covers and afghans with each season which I have found to be an easy way to change the decor…I also like to move some pieces of furniture with the seasons, I find it helps me shift my perspective on life. Love your camel and earthy tones…Happy New Year !
I love all of your beautiful home but your girl cave is a favorite. Wishing you a blessed 2021.
Your girl cave / office is a beautiful space. I love the warmth of the wood tones, especially in these times when “everyone” paints things white or gray. The wood is all beautiful.
I love your decorating style! Such beautiful colors and so tastefully done. (: We generally leave Christmas up until after the first of the year, but since my mother is coming on Monday, I will leave the tree up until then. Like you, I am ready to refresh things – lots of good ideas on your blog. Happy New Year!
What a wonderful spot to curl up for a good movie. Love your entertainment center and that gorgeous, round wood mirror! I would’ve never guessed there was a bed in that basket. You’re very clever!
Marty, I amazed you can fit a bed and all the bedding in the wicker coffee table. That’s strategic. I just gave away our two queen sized bed in our guest room and I’m going to do what you’ve done with the air mattress. I hate keeping an entire room ready for guests that never come when it can be used for another purpose. I’m with you I get the Christmas things down normally on Christmas Day. I feel like they collect so much dust and I’m always ready to get my home back in order.
Marty, I love this cozy space you’ve created! It’s the perfect spot to relax!
Marty, I’m loving all of the warm cozy textures in your girl cave. I must say though that round mirror has stollen my heart, gorgeous!!!!!
I just came over from Jennifers beautiful Spring tour with the wicker chairs in her sitting room, which I admire.
So, i just want to tell you that this is such a cozy warm room to hang out, as you say your girl cave/loft. I can imagine reading in there and enjoying the quiet time.
