Currently Coveting: Organization

I've always loved pretty little ways to organize your things.  However, organization always seems to be the last thing I actually end up spending money on.  I dream about a pretty little desk and office supplies often though.

I saw this gold colored pencil holder in Maison Reve and fell in love.  I'm not one to bust out the colored pencils on a daily basis, but isn't it just so pretty?  I would love to see it on my desk daily, I know it would make me smile.  

I also love little trays, so this "Love" tray is fitting.  Liz questioned recently what I would put on a tray, and for me it's anything and everything!  Jewelry, keys, loose change, candles, arrange a little vignette of decorative items, a plant, stack some books on top, corral your perfume collection, nail polish collection, put one on your nightstand to hold your book, a glass of water and book light...I could go on and on!  Hope that helps Liz.

These pretty teal plastic boxes (don't woryy-they are BPA free!)  would be so pretty holding a variety of items.

I've had my eyes on the black & white striped hooks from anthro for awhile.  Hooks are always good because they add instant storage to an otherwise useless wall.  I have some in my bathroom for my towels and robes, some in the entry for purses and coats, one for keys, the girls rooms have behind-the-door hooks that hold a variety of random things that would otherwise be on the floor.  Like Natalie's elephant head on a stick-ya know just like the horse ones kids use to play cowboy that have the strap you can hold onto? Only ours is an elephant, making it much cooler.

You can't see well from this picture, but the top left are take-out list pads.  One is for coffee and the other for restaurants.  I think theses are so cute, coming from a gal who eats a lot of take-out.  I fully abide by the "Keep a clean kitchen-dine out!" mentality.  I even have a magnet to prove my allegiance.

I love the pattern on this binder from Amy Butler.

This little bird doubles as a paper clip holder. Sold!

Jonathan Adler has a fun line of office goodies out now and I love these colorful pens.

Why can I never find the tape when I need it? Oh, probably because it isn't in a cool holder like the one above.

My magazine collection is ridiculous.  And it is only going to get more ridiculous because I just subscribed to four more (don't ask).  So I definitely need some industrial strength and sized mag holders like these.

Another reason I can never find my tape is because I have a horrible memory.  I need to write things down more.  But I forget.  Maybe a pretty leather journal will help get my hippocampus in gear.

Lastly, a pretty basket to hold my mail and papers in.  Does anyone else have problems with their paper procreating overnight and spawning lots of paper babies?   I mean really, where does it all come from?!?

Have any favorite organization/office supplies you would care to share?
