At my place of business we've gone through quite a few office moves. This past fall I was upgraded to have my own office. The space was great with big open windows but really no room for decoration because the wall and floor space were limited. This time around I have a corner pentagon-shaped office with a window through someone else's office to the outside window. Generally speaking I really really love to have a window to look out at the outdoors while I'm sifting through the solving the problems of the modern day education system (wink wink) but now that I've moved in I'm really enjoying my corner of the office. One of the big challenges was to find a mirror that would reflect the window behind me and create a new window for me to gaze through during these intense bouts of problem-solving - not to be confused with day dreaming. So I went looking all around town for some items to spruce up my wee oddly-shaped working space. Here's a recap of items found, bought, and placed. Thanks to
Oak St. Vintage, Puttin' on the Ritz,
Luxe, the UO bookstore, Goodwill, and yes, TJ Max. See if you can guess which items came from each store. The key is at the bottom. Cheers!
Lamp - Oak St. Vintage; Milk glass cookie jar, and ash trays used as paper clip holders - Puttin' on the Ritz; turquoise Fire King mug, old water color and frame, and milk glass candy bowl - Goodwill; Mirror - TJ Max; File folders and thank you stationary - Luxe, green desk top drawers - UO bookstore.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI really like the lamp....The office looks really great. It’s so important that the space you work in is so neat and organized, don’t you think?
Hi Diana,
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel so much better in the space. I actually love what I do at work but now I love being in my working space! I just worked on a terrarium project over the weekend that I've added to my desk for a little greenery. I'll pictures posted over the weekend. I love your blog by the way!

Ohh I love terrariums because of the creative concept which you have to put into making it....They add so much to the room. I am looking forward to see what you did.
ReplyDeleteBtw:I am so happy you like my blog...Thanks sooooo much!
