Concealed Office Storage
Like the idea of concealing office storage (and injecting some color into the space!) with a beautiful curtain:

Matching Pencils
Love the way a grouping of matching pencils in a single color looks. They make a stylish and functional desk accessory. White ones seem to look particularly chic:
Bonus points if they’re personalized 
I found a few on Etsy: here and here

Stylishly Organized: Picks from Sugar Paper
Had the pleasure of stopping by the lovely shop Sugar Paper in Brentwood late last week after visiting the House of Windsor with my pal Irene, and spotted these pretty little lists made of 100% recycled paper. Perfect for staying stylishly organized:

Stylish Binders
I use 3-ring binders for storing and organizing everything from project files and business receipts, to magazine tearsheets and recipies. I currently have basic white inexpensive ones in a variety of sizes, which I keep lined up in an office cabinet. For binders I use frequently, I’m thinking it’d be nice to upgrade to something that’s stylish enough to leave out on an open shelf for easy access. Russell + hazel binders in a fun color {as seen below} would do nicely.

Organized Drawers – Clear Dividers
When it comes to organizing drawers, dividers are key for keeping like items together and neatly contained {so they don’t spill over}. My favorite are clear organizer sets, like this one, this one, and this one, that can be arranged whichever way fit best in the drawer. Since they’re transparent, they’re also great for showing off a pretty drawer liner.

Closet Offices
With the help of a few shelves, office storage, and task lighting, you can put a closet to work and turn what might otherwise be a dumping ground for random clutter, into a highly functional space.
Bonus: By simply closing the door (or curtain) you can enjoy a work-free environment!

Beautifully Organized Space of the Week
This week’s beautifully organized space is from the home of interior designer Amy Meier. Since she and her husband eat most of their meals on their patio dining table, Amy used the “dining area” of her small apartment to create a fully functioning office for her design business.
A large Ikea bookcase provides easy access to fabric samples and papers carefully organized into a mix of woven and wire baskets, bins, and fabric covered binders. A magnet board next to her metal desk serves as a place for Amy to post pictures and paint and fabric samples that inspire her projects.
A trio of white shelves and a three pocket file holder take advantage of wall space and provide a place to hold a multitude of items including fabric covered albums, leather boxes, and sketchbooks.

Beautifully Organized Space of the Week
This week’s beautifully organized space of the week is from the home of graphic designer and fellow blogger, Sheila Vu, a.k.a. Miss Vu. She keeps her desk clean and uncluttered, organizes her pens, pencils and markers, etc. in pretty cups from Anthropologie, and my favorite thing of all, has created a giant wall calendar using numbered large black squares. I love that it not only can be used for organizational purposes, but it makes a beautiful graphic statement.
october 2010
While browsing through Sheila’s flickr albums I noticed she had archived other photographs of her home office. She has used the wall space above her desk to display, organize, and change as needed, the images that inspire her creative work. Keeping the inspirations in this dedicated area, keep them from looking messy or too chaotic. Take a look at how it has beautifully evolved since January of 2008:
