Fab Decor: Office Space
Working in events marketing and promotions means my workplace is filled with random objects. Besides the lookbooks, catalogs, signs and brochures, various non-traditional office items can be found. Here is an exemplary list of things that make my office a famous stopping ground on the way to the company cooler.
- wigs and costumes (for street promotions – I had an entire closet bursting with this stuff at my last workplace which made everyday seem like Halloween and made everyone want to stop and play dress up)
- clothes and accessories (for fashion shows which make me crave a “you can look but don’t touch” sign)
- CDs (I often double as the event’s DJ and have to choose the music for special events. Finally, my age-old Columbia House membership has come to good use!)
- raffle baskets and prizes galore (this could mean anything from a giant Estee Lauder beauty basket sitting on my desk to giant stuffed animals sitting in my extra chairs)
- fake mustaches, top hats and other crazy props (for a photo booth, not for me. Really.)
- tiaras and princess rings (for a kid’s princess party. Again, I have the silliest time convincing others that these are not for me but for a future work event.)
Naturally, co-workers are tempted to interrupt me at every walk-by. They can’t seem to resist inviting themselves in, trying on a tiara or top hat and giggling their way through each new discovery. I’ll have to post pictures of my office area at some point so you can see what I mean. But ’til then, I thought I’d post some pretty photos of work spaces that have me yearning for a little more organization and inspired storage space.

Now if only I could figure out a way to store all my strange office stuff without inviting the constant curiosity-peeked interruptions….
Tell me, what does your work space look like and what are your tips on keeping it look tidy and neat?
