The little workspace at my current residence leaves much to be desired. But then again, what can you expect in an 815 square ft. apartment, right? : ) Besides, I do the majority of my blogging, reading and internet scouring from the comfort of my couch anyway, so I'm not sure it would get much use even if I did have a home office.
Lately though, I've been thinking of redecorating my workspace at my real job, (yep, I really do have one of those), making it more fun and less, well, office-y.
Because it is my office-office, this eliminates the option of painting the walls or doing anything drastic, like installing light fixtures or laying a hardwood floor (pretty sure the higher-ups wouldn't appreciate that : )
Instead, I'll have to spruce it up with temporary elements, like fun accessories and colorful knick knacks. Yeah, that's right, I just said knick knacks...
Thanks to the world wide web, I found several items that would be perfect for what I have in mind...
1) Webster's Fashion Color Thesaurus 2) Zebra Legal Pad 3) Jonathan Adler Note Cubes in Hollywood 4) Punctuated Page Markers 5) Jonathan Adler 2010-2011 Agenda 6) Marvel Animal Print Padfolios 7) Jonathan Adler File Folders
14) Fern Garden Wood Serving Tray 15) White Punctuate Storage Boxes

With loads of color and prints that pop, I'm sure to get bookoos of work done, right?
P.S.- Happy Birthday to my favorite (and only) little brother, Matthew! Hope your 18th is fabulous, kid : )

Pretending to strangle him in front of the tree last year : ) Quality of the pic is horrible, but at least you can get a sense of the sibling love, ha! |
Be blessed, lovelies-
I just did a little redo to my office office. Every few months I decide I need a new color to look at all day! haha! I just used Vera Bradley's Bali Gold desk accessories!
ReplyDeleteI TOTALLY believe that a pretty work space will make you work better and be more productive. Happy space + you = happy work. Maybe that sounds like some Elle Woods type math but it works for me :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the lion and tamer vases! You could put scissors, letter openers, etc. in them. Cute stuff, lady!
ReplyDeletesomething about cute office supplies always makes work more fun...at least the first five minutes of it, anyway :) i have an addiction to fun stationery, pens, and other pretty desk things, but hey, anything that makes me more productive, right?!
ReplyDeleteMy home office and my office office are in dire need of redecorating. I love all of these fabulous finds.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about the office space in my apartment. We are in 800 square feet - and that includes the porch! I've been itching to do a makeover to make things more fun and girly. If I am succesful, perhaps I'll pass it along to guest post?
ReplyDeleteI don't have an office I have a cube. And basically atrocious! Drab, industrial. I'm sure there is something I could do to make it more homey but I haven't.
ReplyDeletethat office from Lonny is one of my DREAMS. for sure..i want my home office ot one day mirror that..i dont care if i copy it lol.
