my office (or, as it's currently known, my piece of wood on my lap i use as a desk when sitting on my couch) would need mass amounts of organization. when your business and art of choice is beading, your home often looks like a kindergarten classroom exploded. mine does all the time. so i'm ALWAYS looking for ways to clean things up, and organize things. again, the challenge is small pieces, all so different, and all trying to be corralled into more small spaces. and yet - in an organized manner. i love the way these spaces have done it. i may also just love them because they have room for desks (luck-yyyy), but who cares. i can still dream. maybe next apartment.
anything that inspires you, hung on a wall and stacked in front of your face - it's a great method. things that inspire you (for the most part) will always continue to. i believe in surrounding yourself with memories and motivators... and i adore the way bre from scout and catalogue has done so here. note to self: globes, photos framed differently, and LOTS of horseshoes this year.
i'm so jealous of shelving. because of the walls in my apartment, i can't hang much. so shelving - which would be WONDERFUL in my small small place - is pretty much out of the question. if i had the space, and the ability, it would look something like this. wooden accents, stacked things, and LOTS of containers for holding. plus, i love how minimal this one is. can't take up too much space with simply shelves, can we.
*le sigh. desks.
anything against a wall, long long, and with room to display things around me that inspire, i'm happy with. whether a full piece in itself, to create the look of furniture in an empty space, or a homemade wooden long desk, with some lime green... both are my perfect idea of using space to make 'work' fit into decor.
i just have a lot of magazines people. ones i'm not willing to get rid of. this, i can make, and hide. perfect. what more do you need?
shelving. in all sorts of shapes and forms. as fit into a scheme, or on it's own... and let's just say, i'm quite fond of DIY projects. shelves for baskets, shelves for books, shelves for plants, shelves for memories. anything that will act as a leaning or standing display for all my precious goodies, is a friend of mine. plus, i have too many books. it's a problem. shelves take care of THAT problem, 100%.
