The Blogger’s Office

In case you missed my Guest Post for Let it Be Beautiful

I’ve always dreamed of having a perfect space to work in and out of and as of a few months ago, the hubby and I moved into our first house (rental, but still … a house!)  Until this major life move, we had existed in tiny apartments with tiny bathrooms and tiny closets and hardly enough room for a Costco shop, let alone an office.  But now the “office” is filled with crafts (trust me, a wonderful thing to be full of), but I buy crafts every time I get bit with an idea, so the piles are growing, and my sweet little desk, it’s nearly bare.  I do most of my work perched on my sofa, staring woefully at the office just across the way.  Clearly my little office/craft-room needs an upgrade and a bit of TLC!

Because I know everyone dreams of a glamorous office (I mean, who doesn’t pin gorgeous workspaces on Pinterest?), I thought I’d break down what’s in my dream office first …

1.  If I’m going to try out this whole fashion blogger thing with my very own fashion blogger office, I’d like to look the part!  I’d love a bold chair (preferably with grommets or animal print!), a bold floor rug, and a sleek desk big enough to accommodate all of my junk. #hoarder

2.  An inspiration wall.  I’m torn between a chalkboard wall and a corkboard wall, though I’d venture to guess the corkboard is easier for tacking idea after idea.

3.  Organization!  I dream in organization — in perfectly-placed shelves and ergonomic storage.  I’d store documents, ideas, and most importantly – my crafts!  Also, the Container Store is magical.

So there you have it!  Now it’s your turn.  Tell me, what is it you look for in a perfect place to work/get-inspired? Are you happy on the sofa?  Do you work best at a desk?  Are you a neat freak or a stuff-collector?

I’ve totally done a post like this! I used to tell me (now ex) boyfriend that we needed a two bedroom home, one for sleeping, one for a closet/office. I’d want my clothes visible, to help stimulate inspiration. and I prefer a corkboard, but maybe ALSO a whiteboard to write down reminders.

This looks awesome! Definitely go with the cork board, less messy, easier to layer ideas, more visually pleasing.
Have fun creating your beautiful blogger space. :)

Very organize and it really looks so professional. I certainly would like to have my own inspirational wall!
