Command Central
“I
Allison Sloan Polish’s home office in Greenwood
have adopted this library-like room as my ‘office’ because it is comfortable, has great light and helps me disguise that I am working. [It] is at the front of the house and has two big cased openings that give me a view into other parts of the house so it feels a bit like command central. … I love color and pattern, and with this new house, it was an opportunity to have it reflect my personal style and what I do for a living. I feel fortunate to be president of Spoonflower, which is an e-commerce business that allows anyone to design, print or sell custom fabric, wallpaper and gift wrap. … This blue design – Raining Linen by Holli Zollinger – has been in my favorites folder for a few years now, and I finally got it up on my walls. We did renovations on the house before moving in, and I spent a couple of late nights here hanging wallpaper. The chair is upholstered in faux suede fabric from Spoonflower and is also a Holli Zollinger design [Arrowhead Tribal]. The chair is really comfortable, and I find myself draping my legs over the boxy arms. Often after the kids are in bed, I get in my pajamas and cozy up with my laptop in my favorite chair.” CHM
