my desk

Most people use a desk, whether their job is a teacher, an accountant, a student, or just a stay at home mom. Something I learned as a blogger is you have to put yourself in an environment that inspires you, for me I put myself somewhere that I know that I can write about anything.  For me, I need a bright environment, with natural light and colors.  Todays post is about my personal desk, and some essentials I think that almost everyone needs for their desk.

1.  Boxwood Topiary 

I think that adding a little bit of earth is good for a desk.  It adds a little bit of that fresh and earthy feel, even if your plant is fake! This specific boxwood looks fake, but it is real, it has just been preserved.   Boxwoods and topiaries are my personal favorite plants other than hydrangeas and peonies. Add your own touch.  I added a black and white gingham ribbon.

2.  Poppin Aqua This + That Tray

I have so many little knicks and knacks that I need direct access to while I am at my desk.  This tray by Poppin, is one of my favorite desk accessories by Poppin.  Poppin is my favorite brand, it pretty much defines my desk, and it organizes my life.

3. Sugar Paper for Target 2015

Now, I got this last year when it released, and I still have it because Sugar Paper has not released their 2016 calendars and planners yet.  This link leads to last years whole collection, not the one products that I have displayed. The calendar that I got was the 2015 Bold Pink Desk Calendar.  When Sugar Paper released their 2015 collection I loved loved loved it, and I still do!

4. Bulletin Board

I always have post it notes and reminders and inspiration that I need to see to be reminded of. I needed something so I simply drove out to Micheals and bought a medium sized bulletin board and a very small about of white paint.  When I got home I painted the boarder white, just because I needed it to be a little brighter for my desk and I just had to add my own touch.

5. Add Details

When I enter a space of mine, I really want it to be mine.  I have to add details, just to personalize it, and to make it mine.  As far as my desk I have kinda have a little bit of a safari look going on, with other different objects. 

See you tomorrow!
