I am a self-declared office supply junkie. The only thing that makes me happier than office supplies is beautiful, stylish office supplies. I sit at my desk far too long to not be surrounded by beautiful things that make me happy. Do a little Spring Cleaning on your desk and surround yourself with things that make you smile and make your soul sing.
A little revamp does not have to cost a lot of money – paint your walls, spray paint your mail sorter, put fabric over your bulletin board, put your fave pictures in nice frames. I am taking easy, quick things that will make a big difference. you spend so much time at your desk, make it an enjoyable place to be.
Here are some gorgeous supplies I found on Kate’s Paperie that don’t cost an arm and a leg to give you some inspiration:
Why use boring old flags when you can mark your books or papers with these beautiful Desert Bloom Page Flags? 5 Styles of flags (75 each) for $5.75
Now filing is not a task I enjoy (in fact, I loathe it), but maybe these cheerful Flutter Green file folders will have me filing like a pro. Or at least getting around do it on occasion! 6 folders for $8.75
Keep your desk neat and tidy by using a Soho Soho Carton Drawer for all of your “stuff” that ends up lying all over your desk. These can be stacked and come in 5 different colors for $15.50 each
These clips are so cute! Automatically know which pile is Urgent, Important, Can Wait or Trivial. $10 for 12 clips.
I am in the process of making my office more functional and more beautiful using things that I already have around the house. I will post pics when I am done.
Is your office or desk space an inspiring place for you to work, or do you cringe when you look at it? What have you done on the cheap that has made it more inviting?
