December 16, 2015 in calendars & lists, home office organization, lists, organization, organized workspaces, organizing products, planners & calendars, planning tools, productivity, time management

Do you use a paper planner? While I use a digital task manager to organize my master list of to-do's, I like to use a paper planner to jot down weekly business notes, and another as a health and wellness diary. There are so many beautiful ones out there that I kinda wish I could find uses for more of them. Below are my favorites:

1- Blush Full Grain Desk Diary, 2- Gold Wash Embossed Python Leather Desk, 3- Marble Mini Three-Ring Binder for use with -> 3b- Weekly Planner Sheets, 4- Day Designer Black Stripe, 5- MyAgenda Leopard Day Planner, 6- Black Natural Leather Pocket Book, 7- Sugar Paper Blush Pink Planner, 8- Moleskin Scarlet Red Planner, 9- Toile Blue Planner, 10- DapperDesk Leather Planner, 11- Panama Textured Leather Diary, 12- Sugar Paper Gold Planner

My Office in Our New Home

May 19, 2015 in arianna belle pillows, interior decor, my home, office space, office spaces, organized workspaces, pillows

A couple of months ago I shared a photo of my new home office on Instagram. Slowly but surely I've made some updates and while it's not quite "finished" yet, I'm happy that it's starting to take shape and no longer looks like an empty box. Here's what it's looking like currently:

While most things were carried over from my old office. I did bring in some new art, pillows, accessories and since this office is a bit smaller, a new rug. Also brought in the black ribbon edged curtains from our old bedroom - I love them in here!

Not sure yet if I want to add something in the corner, next to the Expedit. In the old office, I had bookcases on either side. They are now being used for closet organization.

The main wall is still pretty bare. I used the frames that I used to have in my old office, for a gallery wall around the TV in our new living room (photo of that coming soon), so I need to shop for some new ones. I haven't decided yet though if I want to do a mix or all one color.

Be sure to follow along here or on Instagram for future updates! I'll probably share our living room next.

In My Office: A New Year Refresh

January 02, 2014 in home office organization, lists, office space, office spaces, organized workspaces, organizing products, our apartment, stylish storage

Most of you probably know and love See Jane Work- a favorite go-to place for stylish office supplies. What you might not know, is that they recently added several new products to their collection for Office Depot. As soon as I got a preview of the goodies, I knew I needed to add some of them to my workspace, and was excited when Office Depot offered to send over my picks, just in time for a little new year refresh. Here's a look:

list pad, white pencil cup, colored pens, gold washi tape

A white pencil cup that coordinates with my desk, to hold pens and highlighters, and a pretty lilac edged sticky pad for writing checklists, shopping lists, and to-do lists.

turquoise binders, white tissue box cover

Matching turquoise binders for keeping various business papers neat and orderly. They fit nicely lined up in the cubes of my Expedit unit.

Clear white dot project envelopes to easily carry fabric samples, etc. with me to meetings with my team.

white stapler, white tape dispenser, tan pencil cup, gold scissors, white scissors, greek key tray, green striped notebook

A white stapler to replace my old one that wasn't working properly anymore. I paired it with the matching white tape dispenser to make a stylish little duo. The tan cup I already had, but is also from the line. Love that it's sturdy enough to hold my heavy gold tailor scissors.

Small updates that are helping create the setting for an organized and productive start to 2014. Are you freshening up your workspace for the new year?

Stylish Workspace: Sugar Paper

July 18, 2013 in office space, office spaces, organized workspaces

Sugar Paper is a high quality paper goods company started by Chelsea Shukov and Jamie Grobecker 10 years ago. Late last year they outgrew their original small space and moved their studio to a large warehouse in West LA. These photos give us a peek inside:

Gorgeous right? As a young entrepreneur I find this so inspring. Perhaps one day I'll get to move my company into a similarly large and beautiful studio :-) Gotta dream big right??

Stylish Workspace: Tara Guerard Soiree

June 12, 2013 in beautifully organized ..., home office organization, office spaces, organized workspaces, stylish storage

It's no surprise that a stylish event planning company like Tara Guerard Soiree, who regularly puts together magazine worthy weddings, has equally magazine worthy offices. Check out the photos below of their clean, tailored and bright workspace:

Sets of matching boxes and binders on custom floor to ceiling shelving provide plenty of storage and help maintain a clean uncluttered look.

An bulletin board above Tara's desk serves as a catchall for photos that inspire ideas.

Large windows flood the conference space with natural sunlight

The tall spacious white table in the central workspace provides a perfect morning meeting spot for the team.

Definitely saving this as inspiration for when my I (hopefully!) have a larger company office space!

A Beautifully Organized Creative Workspace

February 27, 2013 in beautifully organized ..., creative workspaces, home office organization, organized workspaces

In love with this creative workspace from the home of Darcy Miller, illustrator and editorial director of Martha Stewart Weddings. It's the chicest craft room I ever did see! It's not only fully stocked with all the supplies you could ever need for any creative project, but it's also beautifully organized. Everything has a home designated based on frequency of use, so things are accessible and easy to find. With the exception of the art supplies which bring a cheerful rainbow array of color to the space, most everything (the walls, floor, ceiling, furniture, and storage containers) is black, white, and gray. This creates a uniform look and keeps the room from feeling chaotic or overwhelming.

Love how Jessie of Follow Studio has labeled the kraft storage boxes in her workspace:

Such beautiful simplicity.

Stylish 2012 Planners

December 21, 2011 in on the go, organized workspaces, organizing products, planners & calendars, time management

It's almost a brand new year (can you believe it?) and for many that means a new planner with fresh pages for jotting down plans, goals, to-do's etc. I'll be getting a 2012 refill for my pink leather Kate Spade organizer (pricey but one of those purchases I don't at all regret because I use it everyday and even after a few years it still looks great). If I didn't have a planner already, I'd be considering one of these stylish picks: 1- laurel denise planner, 2- tudor city large debra, 3- jonathan adler 17 month agenda, 4-bijou soho diary, 5- cavallini leather daily planner, 6- dozie bowtie pocket planner, 7- sarah pinto stripe weekly planner, 8- moleskine assorted month daily planner, 9-russell and hazel mini binder, 10- faux snakeskin vintage daily planner

Do you get a new planner each year, refill one you already own with new pages, or prefer to organize your life digitally?

Lovely Find

October 25, 2011 in creative workspaces, lovely things, organized workspaces

Came across this glam brass holder and colored pencils set and thought I'd share.

Love how it elegantly stands upright and keeps the pencils so beautifully lined up. Perfect for someone who loves attention to detail.
