 out the winner!
It is the Brennon chair from Pier One, and I think it will be perfect. I went to the store to actually sit in it, as well as read the many reviews and it’s very comfortable. It has arms which is nice, can be raised/lowered, and it swivels. And, it doesn’t look like your typical desk chair! It think it has enough style to look pretty, but still be practical. Done!!
As for accessories, I’ve selected my France photos and have them ordered so that is also done. As for the frames, I did have a lucky thing happen with those! I had selected the Wood Gallery frames from Pottery Barn in the gray. I liked the simplicity of them, and the gray was pretty close to the driftwood color of the Printer’s Desk.
Even better, they were having their Friends and Family sale last week and I was super excited to get them on sale. I ordered my four 8 x 10 size for a sale total of around $118. However, later that day I went to Target to get a few household items and as I walked by the frame section, this frame appeared before my eyes…. for $16.99!
I was giddy! And can I say, it is actually an even better color (slightly less gray, more driftwood-y) than the PB frame, and it’s about an inch bigger in each direction which I like better as well. So, $50 bucks saved. Yay for that! A small win, but I’ll take it!
I’m also still deliberating what will go on the other large wall. My husband is pushing for the map, but I really like the architectural piece (they’re both in the mood board above). Trying to remember that this is our office and not just mine, haha!
The map is gorgeous (I’ve actually seen it in person) and I do love that it’s Los Angeles but I’m not loving the idea of a black frame and I’m not sure what else I would do.
Below is the architectural panel from Restoration Hardware. I love both… just not sure which I prefer. What do you all think? Do you have a preference?
The list of things left to do is getting shorter, so I’m pretty happy about that. Once I’ve picked the wall decor, I just need to get some small accessories, paint my bookcase, and (possibly) select a rug. Now if only the painting gets finished we’ll be in business!

Hi, I would go with the map. It doesn’t have that trendy ‘I just ran out and bought everything new look’ and makes your room look more classic.
Headed to Pier One to try out the chair. Great find!
If you like tonal looks, and your husband gets his map, try painting the frame your trim or wall color. It might work.
I’m so glad you like the chair Deb! And I may just add a globe – I’m loving that idea!
Love the new chair! Sorry about all the painting issues but you still have plenty of time. I love your plans!
Ok, first, I’m so glad I finally got a chance to catch up with your ORC room. Love this post so much! So 2 things – First, (besides loving the entire direction of the space), you just solved my desk chair problem! Love the one you chose. The only thing I’m not sure about for me is if the arms will limit the mobility (i.e. pushing the chair in under the desk). But hubby really wants a more comfortable chair and I really want it to be pretty, so the one you sourced looks perfect! (I will go back and read the earlier posts to see why you didn’t choose the swivel without arms).
As for the wall hanging, I am so in love with the architectural panel! You have to get it because it is SO you! I know hubby gets to use the office too, but it’s SO nice!
Awww thanks so much Lory! And I LOVE that I solved your desk chair problem, haha! It is so hard to find one that is comfortable, somewhat stylish, and not $600! So, you’re welcome!!
Sheila, I love your desk chair choice. Hopefully, it will make up for the painters not showing up. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Thank you – I think it will be perfect! And they’ve shown up today- yay!!! Hope they are quick and out of here!
Thanks so much for stopping by and for following along!
It is surely coming along! Can’t wait to the finished room!
Thanks Holliday! I can’t wait either!
Hope the painters show up soon! It is getting harder and harder these days to get contractors, let alone to be on time!
Hmmm… I love that you love the architectural piece, too! I’m trying to decide within the next couple of days as I would have to frame the map and I need some time to do that. We shall see! And yes, the painters are right now the bane of my existence! I seriously just want them to come and finish and never come back!Abengoa, the major player in the Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) business, has provided a limited review report of its accounts for the first nine months of the year prepared by Deloitte.
Abengoa, the major player in the CSP business has provided the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) a limited review report of its accounts for the first nine months of the year prepared by Deloitte, as well as a call for Monday in which the CEO of the company, Manuel Sanchez Ortega will inform analysts and investors of the current situation.
The company has urgently undertaken this movement after strong falls in the stock market over the past two days. This Friday, Abengoa’s shares dropped more than 36% leading to a total fall of 49.17% this week. The record fall builds on confussing terms about debt.
According to Bloomberg, “Bondholders say they understood $630 million of high-yield notes in euros and dollars issued in September were so-called recourse debt, which allows creditors to seek claims directly from the company in case of default. The developer of solar thermal power plants said the notes were accounted for as non-recourse, which allows claims only on collateral assets, when it reported earnings this week”.
Fitch analysts have warned that, according to their calculations, the leverage of Abengoa is twice that said by Abengoa, and that the ‘green bonds’ should not be counted as “resources in the process” but as corporate debt, to be guaranteed by the corporation itself.
Deloitte noted in the accounting review recorded this morning in the CNMV that “at no time can be understood as an audit” and that its liability is limited to “express a conclusion” on financial statements that ultimately produces Abengoa.
The audit concluded that there is no evidence for believing that the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with international standards. However, it emphasizes that no all information required by a complete consolidated financial statements were provided.
In the audited accounts, the corporate net debt at the end of September amounted to 2375 million euros, more than double the gross operating profit (EBITDA), which stood at 1071 million euros.
Regardless of debt, Abengoa reports a “non-recourse financing” which stands at 7181 million euros of which 1592 million are “non-recourse in process,” a mode for which the company gives detailed explanations and that closing 2013 amounted to only 577 million euros.
This chapter includes $500 million US dollars from the issuance of green bonds through its subsidiary Abengoa Greenfield, which has been one of the elements of uncertainty that explain the strong fall in the stock market in recent days.
The company says the issuance of green bonds has been to finance an aqueduct in Mexico of 238 million euros, a solar plant in Chile with 159 million, a cogeneration plant in Mexico of 184 million as well as other solar projects, desalination or bioenergy facilities.
Within this ‘non-recourse’ funding, “certain financing with corporate guarantee” is included, recognizes Abengoa, although it will target the “bridge financing” for “two or three years” to perform work during the early stages of launching projects.
The amortization would be made “with the proceeds from the financial closure of the corresponding non-recourse project” and if a “default risk” is identified, this would go to the “corporate financing” chapter.
Abengoa Chief Executive Manuel Sanchez Ortega told IFR on Thursday that the company’s accountants had signed off on the accounting. “This is not a lack of transparency. We explained everything openly,” he said.
