MYkind: office sneak peek.

As most of you know, Ive been in the midst of a serious renovation, and although the worst is over, I’ve been feeling less than motivated to share the ugliness with you. So how about some prettiness? This, friends, is where I work daily.

Source list after the jump!…

a crocodile paperclip.

Think your office is a jungle? Me, too. And every good jungle needs a crocodile, yes?

matchstick pencils.

Last week it was matchbook sticky notes and now I’m craving matchstick pencils. What’s next?

office inspiration?

Oooh, Design is Mine just pointed me to the lovely portfolio of Emma Thomas, and this room immediately jumped up, grabbed me by the throat and shrieked “Erin! Re-create me!”

It has nothing to do with what I’m looking for, but I find it just… riveting. And I’m inspired. You know what I just might do? Take our renovation blueprint to Kinko’s, blow it up, and wallpaper my office with it. A bit of personalization goes a long way, and I’ll get a similar effect.

Who cares if it doesn’t match the rest of my home? ;)

leggo my conference room notes.

How have I missed this? I spotted the Lego Boardroom Table on Behance yesterday, and gracious, the creativity that ensues. Sometimes, this world amazes me.

Also, I think this table would make corporate meetings a bit more… productive.

p.s. Want more legos?:
Lego Love-oh

nokia offices.

Wow. Nokia’s psychedelic offices are making me seriously re-think working from my bed everyday.

Is it possible to be jealous of a mural? I suppose, yes.

wood lamp.

If I had like, three more hours in the day, I’d run a frivolous little shopping site, full of pretty things that don’t need to be quite as expensive as they are.

This lovely wooden lamp would totally make the cut. It’s £144, so maybe instead I’ll have the husband make one for me.

You know, if HE gets three more hours in his day, too.
