Office Progress

Today I was able to do a few things in my office re-do. One of the first things I did was to get rid of anything flowery, cottagy or pink. Then I got these binders, all the same, with a clear pouch on them. I made simple binder labels out of colored paper, in 2 alternating colors. I'm liking the tidier look of this.

The next thing I did was to make this clip note center out of an old yard stick, and some silver binder clips.

Yep that is a typewriter. I fill out lots of forms and it's much easier for me to type them out than to write them, and I can't feed them through a printer. Even a modern office should have at least 1 typewriter.


Accessorized my shelf with some vintage office products and other vintage items.
That is an insert from an old secretary holding envelopes, labels, post-its etc.
There are even 2 little drawers on it.

And hung up an old store display for shipping supplies

added Some sleek metal organizers. I added some of my metal finds to dress these up, and of course pretty folders.

Then I added this metal strapping tape to the fronts of some of the shelves. I've got to add more, but this is a start. and I put up more silver clips for "must not forget" items.

That metal strapping works with magnet clips, which will come in handy for more notes.
I hung some old cistern buckets up for pens etc next to my computer, and of course I'll be using locker baskets, and more wire office baskets.


I really like the idea of changing out my cork bulletin board for a grouping of clip boards. got them today, will hang them up tomorrow.

I cannot paint the file cabinets, so they will stay as they are.

I may paint the Gear wall. My color scheme is of course black/white/metal. Beyond that, is a sage green, and a goldish yellow that you see in some of the accessories there.

More to come.
