Well, my desk isn't the quintessential Pinterest desk; in fact, it's far from it. I have quirky little containers and little odds and ends that I found around the house, and both my desk and drawers alongside are hand me downs, instead of sleek and slim Ikea models.
But I like my desk, a lot. And the system I use works well for me. So, I hope that this desk tour gives you some practical inspiration and encouragement to just use what you have and make it work. You never know what beauty you can create with mismatched finds.
Anyways, let's get into it!
Here is my full desk area. My desk is two toned, white on top and turquoise on bottom, with a drawer at the front.
On top, I have an antique tray that holds the supplies that I use regularly, and underneath I store a few things.
To the right of my desk, I have a nightstand that I painted and put new drawer pulls on, in which I store other supplies that I do not use as often.
Above my desk is my pin board, and below is a trashcan and some to-be-completed projects.
Whew! Let's break this all down now, shall we?
First, let's delve into the organization on top of my desk. The tray that holds my pencils, pens, and what-not is an antique given to me by a friend.
Underneath, I have some storage containers I found around the house, except the middle one, which I purchased at Target on clearance.
And to the right of that is some more small storage I found around my house.
Here's a closer look at my tray organization. On top, I also keep some notebooks and folders I reach for often.
Here's what I store under my antique tray.
On the left is a Mary Engelbreit box, in which I store paper clips.
My Target box holds my makeup and my mirror. I like to do my make up at my desk, because I can sit down, and also because the natural light helps me gauge how blended my makeup is.
And lastly, on the right, is my camera and a little tin I found at home in which I store my camera charger and extra battery.
On top of my tray, I store my pencils and pens in cute mugs that I was gifted, but I don't really need for drinking. And the one on the right houses my wooden colored pencils, which I don't use that often because they are messy, but they are too cute to put away.
In front of the mugs are your average office supplies: stapler, tape, and pencil sharpener.
To the right of my tray are some more hidden treasures containers I found around my house.
The left hand container holds my post-it notes and the one on the right holds my erasers.
And here is my pin board. I recently de-cluttered it so that it would have a nice and clean minimalistic look.
In the center is my blogging calendar, and above that is a cute verse sign.
To the right of my calendar is a cute little laugh sign, and over it all is some bunting.
Now, onto the drawers. On top of my drawers, I keep some Purel, a notepad, and tissues. It makes my desk area feel like a real office.
In the top drawer, I store extra pens and pencils, as well as my colored pencils and crayons. I keep my gum in here as well.
In the second drawer I keep my extra, random supplies, such as glue, pins, and calculators, as well as staples, tape, and scissors. And don't worry, I do have grown up scissors; I just can't find them today.
In the third drawer, I keep extra paper supplies, like notepads, index cards, and greeting cards.
And my last drawer is a junk drawer, for all the objects that I have no idea where else to place. Every good desk area should have one.
And there you have it! That's the finished tour of my desk and how I organize my supplies.
I hope it gave you some inspiration for your desk, and some hope for it too. You can create a great desk area with whatever you have. All you have to do is start!
k, bye.
