I’m still in organizing mode, not that I’ve made much progress. But, I have been shredding documents going back to 2000 (I know! Who needs to keep paid bills that long!) and trying to organize and sort through the remaining documents and supplies in my crowded office. I will post a picture soon, but I can’t find the camera.
In the meantime, I’ve been organizing office supplies like cd label packs, address labels, and empty file folders into inexpensive, cardboard, white Ikea magazine holders on my bookcase. Of course, now I need labels! A row of blank, white magazine folders doesn’t really help in the organization process without an attractive labeling system.
Download a PDF of these gorgeous labels by PoppyTalk which can be easily printed on large label sheets (for instant stickiness) or onto nice cardstock to be trimmed and then taped or glued onto your chosen surface. Use them to organize and label file folders, magazine folders, containers, and more.

My office or “studio” is a giant mess. On one wall, there are stacks of laminate wood floor planks (waiting for spring to be installed), piles of fabric, stacks of book, and boxes and boxes of paper. I am endlessly sorting paper, recycling paper, rearranging paper. Yet, it continues to pile up and my work space gets completely disorganized and cluttered. It doesn’t help that I work from home with kids which means that I have three small sets of hands moving the items in the office around as well as contributing their own layer of discarded toys, candy wrappers, and miscellaneous items.

Everything in it’s place.
I crave organization because it’s pretty difficult to be creative and inspired when staring at the stacks of mess. So, I have been drooling over the organized studios of Nicole Balch of Making it Lovely and Sharilyn’s studio at Lovely Design. All the lovely organized boxes make me jealous and want to rush out to Ikea to buy more shelving and boxes. But, honestly, what I really need to do is purge and purge! This is definitely not one of my strengths!
What do you do to keep your office/studio organized and beautiful? Any tips or tricks to share?
