I’ve written about how to make your portable office life a little easier, but — in the event that you have your own dedicated workspace, with a proper desk and chair and room of one’s own, I wanted to share a few little finds to make your workspace even spiffier…
BIGSO DOCUMENT STORAGE BOXES — WE ALL DO IT: ACCRUE STACKS OF PAPERS AND NOTES THAT WE THEN SORT THROUGH IN DESPERATION WEEKS LATER; WHY NOT HIDE THE MESS?
ACRYLIC MOUNTABLE BOOKCASE — GREAT FOR A NURSERY OR A HOME OFFICE SITUATION
ACRYLIC DESK ACCESSORY SET: PEN CUP, TAPE DISPENSER, STAPLER, SCISSORS
ALSO LOVE THESE PAINTBRUSH POTS FOR PEN CUPS! (VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF LETTERS ON SERIOUS SALE HERE)
ACRYLIC STACKING DRAWERS FOR EXCESS OFFICE SUPPLIES
NEW DESK LAMP — OKA HAS SUCH FUN STYLES AT GREAT PRICES — THIS $95 STYLE IS AMAZING, OR FLANK EACH END OF THE DESK WITH ONE OF THESE TALL HERON STYLES (ALSO UNDER $100 EACH)!
OR MAYBE JUST UPDATE YOUR CURRENT ONE WITH A FUN NEW FINIAL
A PRETTY LITTLE TRINKET DISH FOR HOUSING RINGS/JEWELRY WHILE WORKING — LOVE A VINTAGE STYLE FROM ROYAL COPENHAGEN OR HEREND
ALSO ALWAYS LOVE A LITTLE WHIMSICAL KNICK-KNACK FROM HEREND
CABLE TAGS (!)
AN ELEGANT, UNFUSSY LETTERPRESS CALLING CARD
STUNNING COFFEE CUP FOR YOUR MORNING LATTE
IN CASE YOU ARE AS OBSESSED WITH POST-ITS AS I AM…
AN ELEGANT LINEN VISION BOARD (THESE ARE ALSO TRES CHIC — SMALLER SIZE FOR MUCH LESS WITH THIS)
OF COURSE YOU’LL NEED FUN PUSH PINS…OR AT LEAST ACRYLIC AND GOLD ONES
FANCY VINTAGE LETTER OPENER (ALSO LOVE THIS)
SPECIAL CANDLE — MR. MAGPIE BOUGHT ME THE BALMORAL SCENT AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT! JE L’ADORE!
P.S. I always get a lot of questions about the leaning bookcases in my living room. They are SO brilliant and chic and surprisingly affordable. Once assembled, they can almost pass as a custom-built solution. They weren’t available for awhile, but are now carried again. So chic! We have two, one flanking each side of our media console.
P.P.S. More desk accessories and some chic home org gear from Target.
P.P.P.S. Great mirrors and great rugs.
