my second home

i, of all people, have an office. an office! i really have not spent the time to decorate it. is that even allowed? how old do you have to be before you have a say in office decor? regardless, i have taken the liberty of adding a few accessories to my desk.

 can you see the pink Kia AutoSport koozie? i may have ordered those just to match my desk. they're actually for a few women-centered events we sponsor, but i like to pretend the world revolves around me.

you cant really notice, but im a kinda obsessed w/ lilly pulitzer desk accessories: folders, note cubes, note pads, highlighters, pencils, and picture frames (yes, mother, i addressed the empty picture frame in this blog post.)

and, i finally finished a craft project! the in box tray was originally silver; i picked it up for $1.00, and with a coat of pink spray paint, its now perfectly pink and perfect for my desk!

like i said, there are still a few more additions. i have a HUGE, office depot style mirror, that i have to (get someone else) to hang. i thought about hanging a wreath down the middle of the mirror, like so:

but i want the wreath to look like this:

i want to make this wreath in different colors. im thinking pink fabric with a green, glitter bow.

and finally, because i know my mom saw an empty frame on my desk, i want to comfort her with saying, i plan on printing and filling it with either of these:


empty frames are creepy, and confession: my house is full of them! i just, as of late, have been awful with taking pictures, and more importantly, lazy with printing them out. sorry, ma.

ya'll, make your working space as beautiful as possible, because as im learning, sometimes, you have no control over your work environment. sometimes, you have to deal with nonsense at work, so you might as well deal while looking at an attractive space.
