    Ashley’s mid-century home office in North Carolina, US: a working mom’s dream

    Name: Ashley Sainato

    Location: Charlotte, North Carolina, US

    Occupation: Service Coordinator

    Cost of setup: $1K

    Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

    I’m a Service Coordinator for a construction contractor.

    I make sure our crews get paid.

    I recently came back from a 12-week maternity leave. It can be hectic, but I’ve been enjoying my time back.

    I absolutely love my job and my teammates. I’m lucky that my job allows me to have the work & life balance that it does.

    The bright and inviting working mom’s home office featuring the wooden desk with a dual-monitor setup and a cosy orange chair. The room has a large window that allows for plenty of natural light

    I’m 34 years old. Mom to a 3-month-old baby boy named Orin and two old dogs — Emma and Graham.

    I have lived in Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and now, finally, Charlotte, NC. I have been in Charlotte for about eight years.

    My husband and I married in 2020 but have been together for about seven years.

    We own a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house on a dead end.

    The house is always changing because I get bored often.

    I actually just finished a weekend rearranging everything but the furniture.

    The key feature of my workspace is my orange chair. It got a lot of love on my Reddit posts.

    I don’t know much about it. Unfortunately, there are no markings.

    I got it from a mid-century modern reseller called Fos Restoration Co for $250.

    It rocks and reclines perfectly and is comfortable while I’m working or feeding the baby.

    It fits our style in the house and adds some colour that we need.

    The next is the vintage Harley baby blanket.

    It’s not technically an office item, but it’s a staple on my office floor for when the baby has playtime.

    My husband is a vintage motorcycle fabricator, and it was a gift from our good friends.

    It doesn’t hurt that it matches the chair.
