This week I got a bit inspired and decided to make myself some cute headbands. Right now I'm trying to decide on a few styles, then I might sew a big batch of them and open a little Etsy shop for my headbands.
In the meantime, I made quite a mess due to all the sewing I did, what with beads, thread, needles, velvet, elastic, etc everywhere. So I took some time to completely clean my desk and reorganize it to accommodate my new love. I'll post photos once I'm all done with my new organizing project, but in the meantime I wanted to share some of my inspiration images with you.
Some important aspects I'm focusing on:
room on my desk for a mug of coffee or tea at all times
inspirational photos and prints on the wall
organized storage for pens and scissors on my desk top
a clean, open, light work space
and very importantly, a feminine color scheme
(living with Jordan means I can't have pink sheets or excessive amounts of floral prints all over our apartment and part of me misses that girly decor. my work space is the one area that I can make as flowery and pink as I want.)
Oh, Mischa, I love the feminine desk inspiration ideas you've posted!!!
ReplyDeleteI dont have a desk space right now, but after seeing these pretty pics, I am inspired!!
Think your Etsy shop is a great idea - cant wait to see what you've made!!
so lovely! i do have a studio space - but um its not so organized right now. the day it does get that way, i'll be sure to send you a picture! ;)
ReplyDeletethese are def some inspiring images!
It's a sweet work space. I have two of those white lettered mugs from Anthropologie, one from which I'm drinking coffee at this moment. AND I have the "C" and the "V". How 'bout that? :) Great minds think alike!
ReplyDeleteHave a super day ~ xox Alexandra
ohh i love these! i need to make my desk a prettier area. right now its ugly, but functional.
ReplyDeleteand i love that your inspiration images featured anthropologie mugs. my dream desk would include a collection of them :)
I love organized desks! Probably because mine isn't :) I especially love that one with the Mac desktop.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process (and a slow process at that!) of creating my personal workspace as well. I got the desk ($10 off Craigslist, woo!), a candle, a photo, bill paying area and coaster for a cup of coffee (like you, I tend to have one there at all times). My only issue is that my walls are concrete, making it very hard to hang anything. I have a wall sticker that says "live laugh love" but I want to hang some photos and...can't. So frustrating.
ReplyDeleteAlright, this comment was a lot longer than I intended it to be. Good luck with your space!
Oh I wish! The office in our house is boyfriend's space, and it's rather... manly. I use it sometimes, but the only thing in there that screams me is my ancient bookcase and my books.
ReplyDeleteThat's my one regret from house shopping... not getting a house with a cozy spot for my desk (which I don't even own).
Well, that and not insisting on a walk-in closet...

my desk is ugly dorm furniture, but I blog on my bed as often. I *should* take a picture.
I love the third picture down. The desk is so cute and it's in such a tight fit that it would be the perfect place for me to study because of how private it looks. :) Found my inspiration! Hehe.
ReplyDeleteI've got two desks: the art desk, and the computer desk. The computer desk is an old "writing" desk with curved legs and bookshelves underneath. It's so beautiful. And on the art desk I have things organized in little porcelain pitchers and floral tins... yep, totally girly!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful desks, I would love any of them, so inspirational. I wish my office looked more like that!
ReplyDeletelove everything! thanks for the desk inspiration. <3
ReplyDeletebeautiful! i am so inspired! my desk is never in a neat condition for more than two days. it will eventually end up with tons of useless stuffs on it. haha! i'm going to tidy things up a little today ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with white desks with pink accents, so these pics rock my world. I actually have those same coffee mugs. They're from Anthropologie! I have the A.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous girly office areas! What I wouldn't do for my own dedicated office space. Le sigh. Thank you so much for your sweet words about my whining btw. : )
ReplyDeleteI never have room on my desk :/ My room in my apartment is so small!!! It's always cluttered, it makes me less organized.
ReplyDeleteWhen I get into my new place I will have a simple white desk but I will make the top all organized and girly. I love the coffee mugs with the letters!! I saw them recently in Anthropologie. I will get them eventually!! =)

Ugh. These inspiration images are silly perfect. Especially the last one. Why can't my clutter be so delightfully artistic?!
ReplyDeleteI love these desks! I have a desk right now, but it's more of a storage space sadly. If I ever manage to fix it up I'll definitely send you a pic :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE.
ReplyDeletewhere are they from? particularly the third image..
