Making Progress | Clean Up This Office

office in progress

I've made some progress on my office mess over the last couple of days.

From reading the comments it sure sounds like lots of you can relate to the mess. It's a "work happens here" mess for sure.

Mostly I picked things up off the floor.

pattern paper trays

Put papers away in the trays and labeled them by color.

I cleaned off one of my bulletin boards and started hanging up products I'd like to use soon (many of these came from the piles on the floor) and putting other things away in the drawers and lockers. I'll do a bigger organization post soon to show you how I'm currently storing and organizing my supplies.

There's still more to do but I'm feeling good about the progress. And it totally makes me want to make stuff!

Here's to a great weekend!

    This room is so inspiring to me.
    Huge window = Love
    Huge room = More Love
    Standing Work Table = True Love

    I have a large standing work table in the garage , which I bought from a fabric store that was going out of business ....5 yrs ago ! Now it wont fit in the door of my house ! I cant get rid of it, I just need a bigger door on the house :)

    Looking forward to your organization post, I think I scrap so I can organize ......love both equally :)

    Hi Ali, I'm wondering, what are your "paper categories" besides the colours. Can't think of 21 different colours... ;) Thanks for sharing.

      I was wondering the same. My guess is you have other categories besides colors? I added "numbers", "stripes", "letters", "ledgers", "Christmas", "Halloween", "Travel" to my categories and I have a few "brands" (like KI, Basic Grey and October Afternoon). But I would love to know the categories that you came up with. So like everybody else I am looking forward to your post about how you have your scrap booking supplies organized
