if i had a real office space...

Even before the world turned upside down, I mainly worked out of my car.  I did have a small office that I would pop into a few times a week, but since covid, I have been working at home a lot more just like the rest of the world. Currently, I am working in our dining room where I have been since March, but if I did ever have a true workspace, below is what I would set up in my home. 


I love this new desk from Studio McGee at Target. What a beauty with simple lines and those  drawers are so pretty. 

I am all about a comfy work chair and this one fits the budget and checks the comfort box for me. It really softens the workspace too. We have this chair in our bedroom and it currently is my husband's desk chair. He approves:)

I also would add some soothing artwork. This piece already comes in this lovely frame.



A good lamp is very important to me. This is another Studio McGee for Target item. It has a nice modern, yet warm feel to it.

Any workspace I have ever had, I always bring in a real plant. It motivates me.  Hmmm I bet my current office plant is dead by now since I haven't watered it in months:) Anyway, I would absolutely have a real plant in my home office space.

I love this pencil holder from World Market. I have even used cute mugs as pencil/pen holders. This one comes with a matching file holder which I might would add as well. Organization is key with any workspace, but especially when trying to separate work from home.

Lastly, we all need a cute coffee mug! Or at least somewhere to put all that coffee that we need to make it thru each day! 

Have a wonderful, productive work week! Be sure to do something for yourself each day. Self-care is so important during this crazy time!
