Get the Look: John Robshaw's Global-Inspired Office

We are huge fans of textile designer John Robshaw, but since we are still waiting for our invitation to visit his house (ahem), we just have to make do with some good old-fashioned voyeurism. Accented with shades of cerulean, his signature ethnic fabrics, and natural finishes, Mr. Robshaw's office manages to be stimulating and calming all at once — a combination that can be tricky to pull off. We dissected some of our favorite elements, like the two-toned paint job and modern campaign desk, and found similar versions that will help you get the look.

The Office: Do You Bring Your Child to Work?

Going to work with mom or dad used to be a big deal, but today lots of parents have flex hours, on-site childcare or the ability to work from home.

Going to work with mom or dad used to be a big deal, but today lots of parents have flex hours, on-site childcare or the ability to work from home. A parent "heading off to work" has new meaning. Still there are curious kids that like to head downtown, meet mommy's co-workers or see where she spends a portion of her time. Do you take your tyke to the office on occasion?
