Home Office Organization and Storage Tips

I can be more productive in the day, if my home office is organized. Here are a few tips to ensure that your work space stays de-cluttered for you.

The more shelves and cabinet drawers you have, the better chance your office will be organized. My rule I practice daily is "Everything has a certain place."

At the end of each work day, be sure to put all items back to their specific spot. This will de-clutter the counter tops and you will remember where your items are

when it's time to use them again.

Utilize wall space. As seen here, I built a custom framed pegboard to hang my "works in progress" as well as some of my framed watercolor art paintings.

I love the Pottery Barn daily system which keeps me on track. The magnetic/ dry erase board calendar is my favorite piece.

Here it is in my studio.

How to Organize Your Jewelry with Decorative Bowls

How do you organize your jewelry? I love my decorative bowls, and I use them to keep my jewelry separated and in groups.

When I saw the above image on Emily Clark via Martha Stewart, I went right upstairs and took a photo of my Anthropologie bowls.

I love this desk...

I was flipping through the Viva Terra catalog, which to be honest, is not usually a particularly thrilling experience, when I saw this little stroke of design genius. I would have killed for this desk in college when my desk was a cluttered mass of textbooks and looseleaf. As an aside, I was pleasantly surprised by many of Viva Terra's latest offerings and I recommend moseying over to their site to check out this desk and all of their stuff if you haven't been in a while.
