Yesterday I had the most wonderful burst of energy, as only Target can provide. Like any other red blooded American, I do seriously worship at the alter of Tar Jay!!! There is really no better place to organize your thoughts, and home.
My bathroom closets are now full of clear shallow bins, and I do have a small return pile to tend to, but for the most part, I really scored.
One of my favorite books has always inspired me. Pauline de Rothschild's desk always turned me on, with its organized trays full of nescessities, and when I found a Nate Berkus wicker tray on sale, I grabbed it.
So, putting together my loft is of course a work in progress, and I realized it was too heavy on the glass, and metal, and formal stuff.
A little wicker goes a long way towards softening up a more formal, stodgy desk.
Function, function, function!!!
I am currently all out of my formal stationary, and until I re-stock, these pastel note cards and envelopes will do very nicely!
I love all my silver, but it needs to be tempered with softer items. This sturdy cardboard organizer is going to be decoupaged soon! One of my favorite crafts, and then I will fill it with stationary.
Fake flowers. Yes. I love them. I used to be a snob about such things, but really whats wrong with a little color?
I always love colored candles, and I restocked these as well.
The real reason I went in the first place was to grab this gold floor lamp to balance the formal and heavy rose medallion and porcelain lamps I have scattered about. It gives the room that 70's vibe I love so much!
Chase approves of the magazine basket I put on the floor. Magazines are one of life's greatest pleasures, and every home should be bursting with stacks of them! Its no fun to pick up a laptop and google!!! Today I am going to go out, and buy a stack of glorious, glossy magazines, and fill my new basket to the brim!
Happy organizing!
Lusting after the wicker magazine rack. Your desk is so pretty, I can only have a lamp on mine and my computer, my head is so full of broken bottles - space all used up!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! 6th pic from bottom is absolutely perfect and the lighting as always right on the money which nobody ever gets right...except you!
ReplyDeleteYour desk is lovely! I have that same agenda. After years of using the one on my phone for work, it was nice to go back to a paper daytimer about 5 years ago. I so miss Target. Can't believe they mucked it up in Canada. They have such lovely things!
ReplyDeleteYour style is so elegant and cozy at the same time- so difficult to create but you do so beautifully. Love all your ideas, particularly the touch of wicker. Thanks for sharing. Your photography is gorgeous!
