Since November and December are traditionally the busiest time of year for designers, I’ve been spending a lot of time in the office. A reader sent me these wonderful, inspiring ideas for storage and office. I’m so grateful to have an office of my own that meets my need for attractive storage.

My favorite organizational tools have to do with cubbies, baskets and decorative boxes. the above office has these in spades.

I’m not sure this wall calendar would work for me but it is an attractive idea none the less.

A modern living room setting can handle the casual storage/book shelves featured in the image above.

Function under the eaves. A spacious, light filled space that’s functional for children or guests.

I love catalog boxes and binders for organizing clients information, design vendor catalogs and magazine clippings.

Industrial office meets classic upholstery. Love the metal shelving and linen Roman shade.

I have thought about doing this to my own sideboard many times. If this piece were in my office, it would be filled with design books, business books and little decorative boxes of passementerie samples.

And now for some pure fluff…a stylized version of a designer’s office. This isn’t what my office looks like but it certainly has a lot of visual interest. Scalamandre fabrics and trim.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving weekend!
