Get Organised with your Paper Clutter!

 Message Center
Keep clutter at bay with a multi-purpose work station. This communication haven is built from a patchwork of magnet, dry-erase, chalkboard, cork, and pegboard squares behind the built-in desktop. The combination of materials ensures that messages and papers can be stored in versatile ways. Use magnetic boards to hold papers you need only temporarily, dry-erase boards and chalkboards to jot down quick messages, cork boards to stick more permanent papers on (favorite take-out menus, emergency phone numbers), and pegboard squares to mount containers for desk supplies
  Office Out Box
With meetings, school, practice, and pets, it's easy to lose track of time on busy mornings. A drop zone is a foolproof way to manage mail that needs to go out the door. Designate two trays -- one for bills to pay and one for outgoing letters -- near the entryway of your home to make sure nothing is missed.
 Eye-Catching Display
If you like to stash photos, invitations, and memos in sight, why not show them off a bit? An attractive, easy-to-use metal wall hanging helps you keep track of papers. Its decorative geometric design adds interest and keeps everything on hand for when you need it

  
I love all the organisational, stationary & [Sydney based] storage stores... I rarely can go past Howard's Storage World, Smiggle, Kikki K, Typo, or Ikea without getting the latest catalogue for ideas or that 'odd little something that will change my workd'! Well here's some great ideas I found whilst purusing the web that I thought you too would love and maybe like to project yourself... We all need a litte de-clutter, or organisation tips here and there. My pet hate is that daily pile of papers on the kitchen counter bench near the phone - where mail, nail files, hair clips, cards, pens etc... so I think there are few ideas I might put into action too!
Enjoy,

 File in Style
A right-sized magazine holder keeps reading materials in check and clutter free. This bold design was perfect for its punchy surroundings, and it's big enough to hold plenty of catalogs without being overwhelming. Remember to purge old or untouched items on a regular basis to avoid a paper pileup



 Just Drop It
Take charge of underused kitchen items that could be repurposed for organization. This vintage toast rack becomes an elegant in-box on an entry table. Use the slots to keep postage stamps handy for outgoing mail and to sort what comes in.


Style-Setting Role
By keeping papers on hand and off the desk, this wall-mounted file helps corral paper clutter. Use each compartment to organize items by category, such as bills, schoolwork, and notepads. Affix metal hooks to outer panels for keys or grab-and-go items

  Out to Dry
Create a personal filing system that meets your daily needs and makes sense to you, but make it easy to use. Intended for dishes, the slats of this drying rack stand file folders and notebooks at perfect attention. Use the slotted compartment designed for sponges to stash small office supplies.

Clever Storage...

Do you have [internal] stairs and unused space under them? Sometimes our furry 'kids' are left out when thinking about storage for 'their stuff' - I thought this was a clever idea for redundant under-stair space when there's not enough room for a door  & return. So why not install some deep or shallow drawers to house the leads, toys, 'wag-wear' jumpers or coats and food. If you're a hair/fur-free home then this could also be a super place to house board games, console equipment & remotes for the Wii and Xbox/ PS etc.
Has this given you a clever idea for storage for your [under] staircase space? Drop me a line & let me know - love to hear from you... S x

Stylish Colourful Storage Furniture...

'Trip Trumeau' chest console designs in 2 & 3 darwer styles from Seletti's


How about some colour into your furniture - it's one thing to paint a solid hue but what about mixing it up in a very stylish fashion....colour and pattern certainly breathe new life into these traditional shaped pieces. I adore these colourful, modern & tres stylish drawer 2 & 3 drawer chest/ console units. I think they are perfect for a contemporary space or perfectly playful for a children's room... With its rainbow of stripes, the 'Trip Trumeau' chest becomes the center of attention in any room. Made of MDF, the three-drawer unit measures 100 x 48H, 84cm (approx. US$1,360) and two-drawer measures 100 x 39h, 76cm - from Neo-Utility.com and Seletti.
Do you have any pieces like this at home or at the thrift/ op shop that you may have spied - that you can apply your own paint & pattern (the simpler the better the effect), to make into a modern colourful piece?

Wouldn't It Be Lovely ...

Colour Blocked Living Space - epoxy white painted floors for long wear & a great use of an old friend - using a favourite old doily photographed on a colourful background - blown up and positioned off-centrefor a modern placement on canvas. Doily's and lace also used as applique on a bright ruby cushion - playing with positive & negative space, so 'wow'!
White Romantic, Fresh & Contemporary Storage - Office & Living Space with a super 'pop' of love-heart red that adds a sense of liveliness and depth.
These blue based pale pink walls are both romantic & modern when combined with white trimmed windows, skirts and bedlinen. The floral bouquet pattern on the quilt cover adds a touch of femininity & cosiness - the stripe floor mat anchors the feminine room without adding too much more to it.


Today it's raining and cool here [in Sydney] & so I thought wouldn't it be lovely to cosy up with the one you love in a Romantically inspired room!
