The new gray wall makes it appear smaller. The wall sconces are lovely, but the lamps that were formerly on the desk were my all-time favorites. It appears that she has also changed out the beautiful Chinese Chippendale chair that went so well with the desk. I don't mind the solid wall, and I never really "got" the fashion photos, but, on the whole, I think the office has gone from extraordinary to ordinary.

The blue is much more calming and elegant. I preferred Beth's take on a coral office over Mary's grey. Why mess with perfection?
