Office Redo

Stefanie over at Stefanie Grace asked for my advice on how to update her desk area. Let's start with some inspiration photos.






Some tips:
1. Less is more (minimize clutter and just keep basic needs on your desk)
2. Re-purpose household items to dress up and store everyday items (use an antique vase to hold pencils, a pretty saucer to hold paperclips etc.)
3. Choose 1-2 accent colors
4. Make sure the desk area is used to it's full potential..organize drawers, use a cork or magnet board to catch important notes or inspiration, and eliminate items that are not used
5. Storage is key. Use photo boxes to store important papers, bills, etc. If you do not have drawers, hang floating shelves to store extra items.

These are items I would incorporate into my office. Hope this helps Stefanie! Please show us your before and after photos!

I wish my desk looked like some of those pictures! For some reason, I can never get my desk to stay clean for very long...it always seems to be a place that accumulates everything!
