Found three flower prints that were not being used at home, a small silver clock, basket for holding documents, and a pillow. Brought them to work with the new photo frame. Also picked up rock candy sticks for the candy jar and a bamboo plant (allergy free? fairly sturdy?). It’s definitely the cleanest desk in the office and it is starting to feel serene.

Very excited to have relocated to a new department within my company. Downside is that my groupies and spicy desk are now sans me, and I sans them. Now I reside in a quiet sea of gray that will induce sleep if you’re not careful. I call it the creativity drain.
I got rid of all of the random things I accumulated in the past 5 yrs, and wanted to make it feel more like home. I bought a new lamp that provides a more natural light than the fluorescent bulbs. I bought a candy jar (empty) and an air freshner. I have taken the minimalist approach clearing off most items from the desk to maximize work space. I now want to decorate the gray fabric walls with some color or print pattern. I picked up a photo frame from Target that is a new take on the photo cube. I’m thinking of getting a colorful storage box for desktop papers, a plant/fish/terrarium, and what I really wanted to do was to build a window into my windowless office. I was thinking of refinishing an old window, building on a window box to allow it to stand on my desktop, and blowing up a favorite view photo to put behind the glass. In the window box, I want to insert small bud vases for fake or real plants, and fill the rest with something organic feeling. Rocks maybe. Finish it with an interesting clock, a throw rug and lumbar pillow.
