Back to Work - Desk Style

Back to work for 2015...

This calls for some stylish workspace inspo!

Home Office / Library inspiration

This week I'm designing a home office with a bit of a 'library feel' for a new client 

{who i know reads the blog, hi L!}

Was digging through my Pinterest boards for some inspiration - heres a few of my favourites.

Makeover your desk with TYPO

I dont know about you but I love Typo! It's rather hard to go in there & come out empty handed! 

Something else i love is a great workspace!

So when Typo asked if i would like to take part in their Desk Rescue Campaign it was a no-brainer! Um, YES!!!

Yes, you heard it folks, Typo are giving away 3 'Desk Rescue Packs' worth over $600 each!

Its really simple to enter, just head over to their Facebook page and upload a photo of your tragic looking desk! 

Let me inspire you with my own 'Desk Rescue'

My workspace was looking a bit lacklustre....However a trip to Typo has fixed all that! 

Behold my new desk space! Its all in the details, so let me take you on a tour!

First up, what you cant see off to the left is my new friend & the gorgeous magnetic baroque white board.

Ive been loving working at night with the Hydrangea lanterns on! 

I am a bit old school & like to send hand written cards. 

I filled the mail holder with a variety of Birthday & Thank you cards - always good to have a few on hand! 

How cute is the OMG gold foil card? 

Im also a bit of a bandit for colour co-ordinated stationary (did someone say OCD?) 

I used a milk bottle to fill with pencils & pens & grabbed a 'Morning Cup' full of tiffany blue pins, paper & bulldog clips! 

Some tunes on a cute radio and a cup of tea from a pretty teacup always makes working more pleasurable! 

Ive been using the little gold toadstool to store my USB sticks that always tend to go missing!

Then just for something different, I created a corner as a wrapping station.

Its aways handy to have paper, some cute cards & ribbon or twine on hand - especially with Christmas approaching.

In my opinion the wrapping is as important as the gift inside {i spend far to much time on wrapping}! 

And of course, given my obsession with all things French, i can see a bit of a theme developing here! 

Hello awesome Eiffel tower scissors!!!

I've filled a vase with ribbon, twine & gift tags, & used some stamps to decorate envelopes!

The gorgeous gold faceted vase is also actually a pen holder!

And last but not least I think its always nice to have fresh flowers on your desk

I used typo's skull pen holder as a vase! Loving their super cool 'Book of Skulls' too!

Big thanks to Natasha Mulhall Photography for the beautiful images!

Work Spaces

We are currently living with my inlaws while we are in between selling our apartment & looking for a new home. 

Luckily for me there was a space where i could set up a bit of a interim home office for myself.

So off we went to Ikea & i grabbed myself a set of Alex drawers & a great 2m Long Linnmon benchtop.

So simple, yet i am loving such a great big space to work at!  

Given my fledgeling new workspace, I thought it was time for another 'office inspo' post! 

The image below {Samantha Wills office}uses the same pieces as i have - its all in the styling people :)

Like a {LADY} Boss!

A bit of 'girl power' work inspo for this Monday morning!

Off you go to work ladies! Like a Boss!

If its possible to have a 'design/work related' crush on someone i think i have one!

Fellow Sydney sider Justine Hugh Jones interiors are just genius. These images say it all really!
