Operation Office

Today, if I was granted three wishes, I think they would be:

1.  Get a full nights sleep.

2.  Not be bound by the confines of time.

3.  Be organized.

The sleep thing will come in time (mild/occasional insomnia + toddler = bad nights), the time thing will never happen (deal with it), but I feel like my third wish could possibly one day come true.

Perhaps this has always been an issue of mine, as my sister recently highlighted, I often had bits and pieces all over the house in places they didn’t belong.  I don’t have a lot of stuff, but the stuff I do have doesn’t always have the best home, or any home at all.  It ends up on my desk, on the floor, or in the way.

So, I am commencing Operation Office.  Even if it is just a game in my head for now, the game is on.

Here is a wee collection of ideas I’ve had so far.

I just like that lady’s style.  If I could bottle that style and paste it onto a wall, or squeeze it into a tin of paint, I would.

Difty desk “blotter”.  I still do a lot on paper, as digitally oriented as I am.  I need to see things written down.

I just love that quote. I want my office to say so much about me.

Paint colors are a starting point.  Not in love with the yellow, would rather it be a little warmer.

I just love the bold wallpaper.  Can you say accent wall?

And the wall organizer is interesting.  I have a feeling it might actually just look cluttered if not arranged well.

I am eager to see where this takes me.  I am a visual person.  I need to enter my “zone” to work best.  I want to create a lovely little haven where my creativity can soar, where I can take a deep breath and refocus on what is at hand; a place where I can work on your beautiful projects.  I want to love my office.  I want to love being in there and want to invite others in.  I want it to say “me” all over the place, without being kitschy or over-done.

I am on my way to a better place.  Wish me luck!
