cable guy

Downside of the digital age? Cable clutter. And there’s nothing like having a toddler to hone in on every dangling cord in the house. At least these will keep the ends out of his mouth.

I’m a big list-maker, and there is nothing more satisfying than checking off completed to-do’s. I’m even guilty of writing down things I’ve already accomplished just so I can cross them off (don’t lie, you do it too). Unfortunately, I also have an annoying tendency to lose my lists, but no more! This cool bamboo dry-erase board is going up on my kitchen wall so I can bask in finished tasks.

everything in its right place

Somehow there is never enough storage in my house. I’m usually on the hunt for creative bookshelf ideas, but these days I find myself day-dreaming about turning my horrid 2nd bedroom/storage pile into a proper office/studio. These wire cube wall shelves would be perfect for keeping crafty supplies out of reach of little hands.

zen and the art of sticky notes

Recycle those little yellow reminders into paper cranes and little boats with Origami Sticky Notes. Then go all Blade Runner and surreptitiously drop them on your colleagues’ desks when they’re not looking. Who’s the replicant now?

hook, line & sinker

Coffee mugs have always been my desktop storage vessel of choice. The extra heft of fired ceramic makes for a solid base for pencils and pens, and every office kitchen has a cupboard packed with abandoned cups. The Hookmaker teacup tile puts a much classier, decorative spin on the old stand-by.
