Organized in Style

West Elm

One thing I have learned from this first week back to school (both as a teacher and as a student) is that I NEED to be organized if I want to stay on top of things! And I know I’m not the only one. Even if you didn’t head back to the classroom this week, I’m sure you still feel that with the change of seasons there’s a nostalgic feeling of going back and starting a new year. I love getting organized, buying new agendas, calendars and other school supplies. And every year I seem to find more and more amazing accessories to help get back into school mode. Here are some of my stylish organization ideas:

First photo: A bright, glamorous example of organization at its finest with West Elm’s Lacquer Office

1. Eucalyptus Storage Boxes – Bring in a touch of warmth with these wood bins from CB2 that are great for all the extras that accumulate in an office

2. My absolute favourite Industrial Task Table Lamp from West Elm in Antique Brass combines form and function

3. All Good Things are Wild and Free Notebook from Chapters for all those lists to be made. A gal can never have too many journals and notebooks in my opinion

4. The beautiful Cities Calendar from Anthropologie for all those important dates

5. Ceramic Storage from Anthropologie for pens/pencils, notes and post its

6. Acrylic Clipboard designed by Russel & Hazel – anchor a few on the wall for a gallery style display. You can change up the prints so easily with the beautiful gold hardware!

7. Keeping on the gold train with these adorable Bookends from CB2 for all those extra textbooks

8. A Vintage Inspired Pencil Case and 9. some Inspirational Pencils from Etsy?? Yes please!

10. A Confetti Mousepad definitely brings a touch of fun to the desk

11. This Linen Pin Board is a gorgeous spot to keep postcards, reminders, fabric swatches, pictures, etc. From Restoration Hardware

12. Keep recycling hidden with this stylish Bin from Ikea

13. Every office needs some storage. Why not a Mint Filing Cabinet from CB2 to keep organized?

 

Happy organizing and back to school everyone!
