Office Day

It's my first day back at the office, and I am currently surrounded by paper and up to my ears in emails! Here's a little something until I find a moment to post something a little more substantial!

One day I am going to wear this to the office....

Shawn Patrick Anderson

And my office walls are going to be lined with books like this....

Tim Evan-Cook

And I am going to design cool, functional shapes like this....

Michael Larras

But until then, my office cube will do!

Office Space

So I did a lot of de-cluttering at my desk this weekend, and i am feeling pretty confident about my work space... well that is, I was feeling good, until I saw this article from Martha Stewart. She recently opened up her many offices near the Hudson River in New York to show us where the creativity happens. [Note: Yes, the same Hudson River the Airbus crashed into on January 15th, she even has photos here!] The offices are so fun, and personal and are just asking to be used! I think these real images are even more inspiring than flipping through the pages of her magazine! Drop on by Behind the Scenes and read the comments behind these creative workplaces, they totally add to the images!

Inspiration Boards

Prop Storage... aka...Heaven

Too good to be true? Well I talked to one of my friends who worked there on an internship and she said that is exactly how the offices look! Amazing! Although, I guess I shouldn't be that shocked, if any office would be clean and organized, it would be Martha's!

Keep it clutter free....

I'm inspired to clean this weekend. I am finishing up my 6 month work project soon and I need to start tying up some loose ends. It also looks like it will be a chilly weekend in most of Canada, so for all of those who are bummed about not being able to spend it outside, maybe some de-cluttering will help fill the void!

By Monday I hope my desk looks like this:

Shelving Made

Maire Claire Maison

What a coincidence! I made these exact shelves yesterday at work! And to my surprise Desire to Inspire posted about them yesterday as well! Crazy hey?


While the shelves I made won't be put to quite as beautiful use as these ones (they are being used for equipment storage in a sea can) I did take note of how sleek they are... both in appearance and in easy of assembly. 10 minutes and they were up!
