At my house the office is in the kitchen. There are pros and cons to this floor plan. Since I am stuck with having my office here I might as well try to make it look nice. Currently I can't do anything about these 90's oak cabinets, but a few accessories and a burlap bulletin board I made brighten it up.
I'm still looking for a cute mug or something to replace my pencil holder next to my urn aka treat stash, and topiary
(never mind all those receipts back there that need a home... and chords that need to be concealed:-))
I often see these wooden office organizers at Marshalls. This was a bigger one but still only $14. (Office max types will run around $21 & up.)
Now, why get a pretty file organizer and put boring manila files int it? Micheals sometimes has files in the dollar bins, usually 4 or 5 for $1.
One of my most favorite things about getting organized is the folder I made that has a special tab for "Husbands Stuff."
Gone are the days of him asking me where I put his stuff, because I just point to the folder, and now he doesn't ask me anymore:-)
I love when simple things make your life easier.

...and just because I am missing my old house here's a little photo of my old office, a little more roomy than my pseudo office now:-) It still needed paint but it had room for a sofa and I just finished making the window treatment... and I lived down the street from our grandma... it was great and I miss it.
I've been on a huge organizing kick lately, I'd love to hear any tips you have to share!
Oh WOW! You've done so much to really spruce up that cute little nook of your kitchen! Might I suggest a food-themed screen saver instead of just a blank, black screen?
ReplyDeleteNice job!
