The Prettiest Desk Accessories Around

by Jennifer

I haven’t carved out much of an office for myself in the new house yet.  The long-term plan is to take some space on the finished third floor and use that as an office and studio.  But right now most of that room is a mash of exercise equipment, boxes, and Legos and I typically work at the kitchen table or on the sofa.

Nothing wrong with either of those scenarios, but I am looking forward to getting my office set up and being able to go up there, close the door, and really focus for a little while.

I took a few baby steps toward creating a soothing and pretty space in which to work last week, when I put my desk together with some beautiful new accessories from Russell + Hazel.

I was sent the gold acrylic stapler from Hattan Home – lovely online home and gift shop, you must check them out!

I also purchased the Russell + Hazel acrylic tape dispenser as well as a set of gold-edged note cards and an acrylic box to hold them.

They all are the perfect mix of beauty and functionality and I love the bit of glamour they add to my desktop without adding unnecessary noise.  I hate to clutter my desk with things I don’t actually use, and these are pretty and useful.

I still have a long way to go but this is a good start.  I already find myself wanting to work up here instead of in the kitchen.  It’s so much quieter here and there is something about a pretty little space just for me that inspires me to work.  Win win!

You can also find me chiming in over at Honey We’re Home today – Megan asked a group of bloggers to share their favorite Father’s Day gift ideas.  It’s such a great collection of gifts!

    So so pretty! Everything! And I love my Target tray and move it throughout the house all the time. I wish I would have bought 5 of them ;)
    And I also like saying “see you tomorrow”

    Hey Lady! Thanks for sharing your desk perfection! Had no idea the little gold edged notecards were so beautiful in person.

      Gave those notecards a shot as teacher gifts this year…and ordered a set for myself :) Really pretty. Thanks for the goodies, so lovely. Have my eye on the Allegra Hicks book in your shop too. So many wonderful things!

    Amazing how a few cool pieces elevates the look of this nook! As I said on IG, I can’t stop staring at this prettiness. OvO (and those are staring eyes/a nose, not boobs/cleavage)

      Thanks, Ashley – still a lot to be done to make it a true full workspace but it’s a good first step!

Meet Jen

I'm a design and DIY lover, decorator, modern home-maker, foodie, fashion enthusiast, and jill-of-all-trades when it comes to home improvement. I'm slowly but surely adding classic-contemporary style to my early 90's colonial home one inch at a time and I'm taking you along for the ride.

It's often messy - there are usually project remnants and toys strewn about - but the making of a home isn't always tidy work and I love showing you how you can make and style and organize your way to a home and a life you love!
