Keeping track of papers and important information can be tough


and having a home office can make it even harder. Most jobs offer tons of file cabinets, storage space, markerboards and anything else your working heart desires to keep you organized and on task. I was trying to think of something I could use at home to enhance my working experience....I think I found the perfect thing: a tackless paper holder for my wall!


Now, all my important papers, reminders, invoices and posters can be hung and removed quickly and easily, without putting any holes in walls either!


The best thing is, this comes in different lengths and is so easy to use! This works well in my small home office, but will also work wonders in a large business too! Who comes up with these things?

Office Space?


A home office is not always just for a party of one. When businesses grow (and that is the plan usually), a basement or garage or larger space may need to be utilized to accomodate potential new employees or business partners. In keeping with the business feel, it only makes sense to create cubicle spaces for each person.

This may be my new favorite thing!


I am big on containers, packages inside packages and multiple function items!

I may have found the newest addition for my house (but hey, this will fit almost anywhere and be useful!)

Keep it green


Keeping things green should not just be trend....this is a must for home and the office.

Teaching your kids to recycle and doing your part to keep the planet clean and flourishing has become more and more important over the past 10-20 years.


With greener furniture and office products available almost everywhere you look, why would you not?


Often times the cost is similar or less and of course, that warm fuzzy feeling is worth a lot!

Sometimes your home office is also your childs school


I have spent a lot of time talking about a home office but lets take a detour now to home schooling. In the same way that I need a designated office space to stay focused, my kids need to have a designated school space to stay on task. I make sure that I have chalkboards, desks and chairs that are not only attractive but functional.

Let us venture out of the office for a minute


This is a far stretch from anything office related, but it may come in handy to some so I thought I would chat about it.


I play roller derby, and at every game and event, there is always a large water cooler for the players. The problem is, the cooler always leaks and for girls on skates, this is never a good thing!


Wouldn't it be great if someone came up with a water cooler, on a stand, portable, with some sort of basin attached to it so no water hits the floor?


Just saying....

How functional is it really?


Sometimes in life, things are so cute or cost effective, that we impulsively purchase them without really thinking about their level of functionality. It's a mistake I have made one too many times in the past.

A good price or super retro and modern does not always mean the best purchase.




I have finally found a great source for functional and attractive items!

I pretty much love this chair


I am always on the look out for new furniture. It is a bit of an obsession of mine (next to the weather). I found this ridiculously cute chair and had to share it! Now I know this is not really home office related, but I suppose, depending upon what your work is, this could be fitting. If not, its just so functional and attractive, I am sure you can justify needing it in some space in your home!

Wholesale Interiors






I just came across this company recently and am super impressed with their products! With a bit of an Ikea feel to them, they are practical, attractive and priced well. It looks like maybe they cater more to a business, restaurant or office, but a lot of their items,
I wouldn't mind having in my home!

Furniture stores are not just for furniture


There are so many other items you can purchase from a furniture store like this super awesome foot roller. Whether working on your computer or just relaxing on the couch, your feet can be in the lap of luxury.

OFM Inc


Being environmentally friendly has become more and more important these days. Its funny how we as humans did not think years ago, or hundreds of years ago, about the consequences of some of our actions. Now, we find ourselves trying to play catch up, in a sense.


OFM Inc is a step ahead of a lot of companies! They have not only created a line of green products, but their actual offices have gone green as well. Its refreshing to see when a company decides to alter business/office practices to better our world and future. Its even cooler to see them producing items that are attractive, well built and good for the environment!
