The Office Chair...

Oh my goodness, I've been spending way too much time in my Ikea folding chair lately!! Yep, you heard me - my desk chair cost all of 10 dollars, and it feels like it, too! One of my New Year's goals is to replace the little clunker with something that's at least a little better looking, and a whole lot better for my back!!

I'll let you know what I end up with, but for now just feast your eyes on this lovely (if not comfy:) lucite masterpiece...

A Peek at Our House - The Office

So, I've had a few people ask me to share photos of my own house, along with organizing and styling tips... it's been hard to work up the courage to post any, because I don't feel like it's pulled together enough to post on the internet for the world to see!!

Alas, since I am a bit of a perfectionist, I doubt I will ever think my house is "done" - hence, I will start sharing with you all now, right along with my plans and decor dreams for the future!

Since Monday always feels like back-to-work time, I thought I'd start with our home office. It is extremely small, so we've had to be creative in our use of space & storage.


Above: I love our Pottery Barn Bedford desk - it's the perfect size and the white feels so clean... the inspiration board is continually updated... we rotate between an exercise ball and this folding chair - not ideal for hours of editing pictures, but we have our eyes on the Herman Miller Aeron Chair! :) Below: I repurposed this adorable little pot as a pen holder - love the bright chartreuse! Below: I'm obsessed with pretty stationery, and I've always got a million notepads on hand to jot down ideas or lists... the hanging baskets from Ikea (got those on a tip from one of my sister-in-laws:) are a cute alternative to clunky plastic ones, and I love that they get the folders up and off the desk. Below: We found these magazine organizers at Ikea, too... of course, I have my Domino collection nearby at all times. ;)
We originally had a white version of this shelf in our office, which looked much cleaner, but I decided I had to have the white one upstairs, so we moved this one down... maybe we'll replace it one day!
I couldn't get a wide angle shot of the entire office, so here's a peek at the view out the window...

Okay, now you know where I work. :) Off to get something done now!!

Happy Monday!
xo,
Sally

Getting Organized...

I'm sure I've mentioned how much I like things in order... until everything is in it's place, I'm unable to focus, and nothing seems to get done! I loooove cleaning out closets, arranging my files in their drawers with neat little labels... ooh, that reminds me: I need to invest in a label maker!! ;)

Anyway, my love for organization leads me to today's topic: The Pottery Barn Daily System. I've been coveting elements of this system for years, and can't wait until my office is fully equipped with the mail bins, steel shelves, etc.! In the meantime, my Ikea mail baskets and cheap cork bulletin will have to do. Here's the Daily System in all it's glory:


Okay, I'm off to finish "cleaning out" my inbox!! ;)

Cheers!
