Angee RobertsonIn just a few days, I will be leaving for a week long trip to Vegas. One part to celebrate my 10 year wedding anniversary and the other to attend the upcoming SHINE event with Ali Brown. I will be sure to take lots of pictures to share with you when I return.

I am glad I was able to get this month's issue out before I left. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to but it is done. Not only did I get this month's issue out, I was also able to complete the new video of my redecorated office space. You are the first to be viewing it. I haven't even posted this on Facebook or on the website. Click the image below to take a look and please let me know what you think.

Early this month, I came across a link on HGTV for decorating your home office. It has close to 100 featured office spaces that is sure to get your creative juices flowing. Check it out by clicking here.

One of the biggest joys I get out of bringing you Sheic Space is the interesting women I meet and profile. I love how creative office spaces can get and it is really exciting to see so many women expressing themselves and breaking tradition. Because we share so much of the same philosophy that every woman should have a sanctuary of her own, it was a natural fit to feature Lone Mørch in this month's issue.

Be sure to check out Lone's space below and see how she creates an environment for her clients where they are free to be who they are and want to be.

Lola's Boudoir

Lone MorchLone Mørch founded Lolo's Boudoir in 2004. The name originated from her nickname, Lolo, and quickly she added the boudoir to pay playful homage to a woman's need for intimate space, a space where she is free to be who she is and wants to be. As an artist and sensualist, Lone is well aware of the need for a space to be 'her own' and is greatly inspired by both the 17th Century Women's lushly decorated boudoirs and decadent life styles and Virgina Wolf's A Room of One's Own.

Because we share so much of the same philosophy that every woman should have a sanctuary of her own, it was a natural fit to feature Lone in Sheic Space.

With Lolo's Boudoir, Lone has created a lush, imaginative and safe space, on and offline, for creative exploration and self-expression. Hers and others. Photography is one of the tools used to explore and create with, though Lone's approach draws on her dramatic storytelling skills, her coaching abilities, her understanding of psychology and the feminine mystique, her spirituality, sensuality and love of movement.

"I think my clients feel safe and free to express themselves here - it's very feminine yet like entering another world of imagination," explains Lone.

When visiting Lone's main studio, it is like a lush boudoir with antiques, mirrors, draperies and props along with art on the walls.

Lone spends about 4-6 hours a day at her boudoir studio, and the rest of her time is spent at her home office or on location. Because she does spend so much time traveling between locations and the boudoir, her laptop and camera are pieces of equipment she can't be without. When at the studio though, her victorian love seat is an important piece for her business.

Danish of origin but gypsy by spirit, Lone has been calling the Bay Area home for the past 10 years. With a deep curiosity about people, places, the stories we tell, and how we change, Lone has explored both inner and outer worlds. Amidst climbing mountains and playing Robinson Cruso on stamp-sized islands off of Sumatra’s coast, Lone has worked in development projects in Nepal, created learning opportunities for Scandinavian students in San Francisco, produced documentary portraits and more, before she found the courage to pursue a more artistic career in writing and photography.

When not photographing, writing and developing new projects, Lone can be found howling at the moon, hiking the trails around San Francisco with her faithful Chihuahua, getting groovy on the dance floor, reading, conversing with inspiring people, sniffing the fragrant flowers, cooking up a storm with friends and exploring distant parts of this wondrous world.
