My go-to's for creating an organized and inspiring home office! May 11 2020

|
I discovered Poppin last year, and boy am I glad I did! I love this file cabinet! It’s powder-coated steel, locks, it's available in different drawer configurations, with or without casters, plus there are many colors/color combinations to choose from! (yes, I am excited about a file cabinet!) White and other select colors are on sale at the Container Store for $212.49, and more colors are available at Poppin.com $269.99 |
Before I found Poppin, I used this beautiful acrylic file box, but now it displays all of my moulding samples! If you're looking for a file box, this is very stylish, and the handles make it easy to tote around. Russell+Hazel $80.00 |
Here are my go-to file folders! They are not only white, which can be hard to find, but they’re super high-quality. I’ve had mine for a few years now, and I haven’t had any tearing or signs of wear. Made by Russell+Hazel and available from Amazon.com $17.00 |

A label maker is a must-have for any home or office! I use the P-Touch by Brother, available at OfficeDepot.com for $24.00 and purchase label refills from Costco. |
This is a functional piece of art! Beautifully crafted, it can serve as a decorative piece of art, bookend, or collator. It’s a beautiful and functional addition to any desk! Acrylic Desk Organizer, Russell+Hazel $28.00 |
Years ago, I purchased a stainless steel magnetic board and hadn’t regretted that purchase for a second! I love the look of a clean, contemporary aesthetic mixed with traditional wall mouldings. This one looks really similar to the one I have, available from Houzz.com for $95.00

Don't forget fresh flowers or a beautiful plant; it makes a big difference! Lately, I've been getting bright, fresh flowers from Trader Joe's, but my usual go-to is a Trader Joe's Orchid, Cyclamen in the colder months or a large Hydrangea plant during the summer months. |
I’ve always loved beautifully scented candles. I often have one on my desk; there is just something so calming and soothing about the soft glow of a burning candle. If you’ve followed my blog posts over the last couple of years, you know that I’m a big fan of Illume candles, Nest and Trader Joe’s has been upping their candle game the last year or so with high-quality candles that rival the much more expensive ones. |
I hope I've been able to provide some inspiration! Oh, and don’t forget the soft background music! (We’ve been using Pandora to listen to soft jazz or a little Diana Krall during the workday.)
Please take good care of yourself and stay safe and well!
