Home Office Tips

My desk is against one wall. I have a computer and printer on it. I have velcro strips holding all the cords together with the name of each cord written on it with black felt marker.

I had a shadow box shelf hung at eye level when sitting at the desk. On this I put the stick tape dispenser, a small letter stand for stamps and business cards, and the small needy paper information that all desks get cluttered with. If this little shelf has the space, I put a pen holder also.

To keep the papers in place, I put dividers in a magazine holder. I put the plain, lined and grafting in there spot so I have them all in one place.

I like magnets for a few things we always lose; like scissors and paper clips. The strips of magnet sold today can be mounted in so many different fashions. It is fun. I have a picture frame made from magnet strips.

The area at the bottom of the desk that is empty, because it is so low. I store extra paper there, that is too much for the magazine holder.

I hope some of these ideas help someone :)
