"With the open concept, there was no separation from the work and home setup. Because of this, I tried to make them flow seamlessly instead of competing with each other. It can be hard to have a 'shut off' from work with a layout like this, so I leaned into the existing built-in storage the space had and put on display the aspects of my career that provide inspiration instead of stress,"
"I'm a collector through and through. Not only for my job, but personally as well. I'm always on the hunt for interesting objects to accessorize with, vintage furniture/lighting, and I love the challenge of making them all work together without it feeling like I'm living in an antique store,"
"I want people to walk into my space and not know where everything came from,"
"I love when the items in my home spark a conversation or even confuse some people. It became a running joke that when friends came over they would try to find what has changed or what new piece I had brought in."
Cash Vanbuskirk rents an 850-square-foot open-plan loft in Oklahoma City and uses the space as both home and workplace. The layout intentionally blends work and living areas to avoid competing zones while acknowledging the difficulty of “shutting off” from work. Built-in storage is used to display career-related pieces as sources of inspiration rather than stress. A habitual collector, Cash integrates vintage furniture, lighting, and interesting objects into the design while avoiding an antique-store feel. The arrangement aims to spark conversation and surprise guests, who often notice incremental changes. Key furnishings include a Fourhands desk chair and IKEA desk and drawers.
