Happy Weekend!

I had a great time last night at the ISCD trends evening - and promise to make sense of my scrawled notes to share with you next week, I'm sure you'll find something amongst them noteworthy! For now it's one of those things I get when I have been surrounded by fabulously creative & successful people that I begin to get a headache of ideas!

So for now it's a BIG Happy Friday & Happy Weekend whilst I get a chance to mull over all these ideas that seem to be enveloping me at the moment - hopefully procrastination won't win!

 Hope you have a wonderful weekend - thanks again for stopping by at Palatial Living, I hope that a small corner of your life this week was a Palatial one! Take care & Enjoy. S xxx

Quote...of the Day

One of my favourite quotes, from one of my favourite Renaissance men - graphic designer/art director/ filmmakers - and overall one of the most influential people in design- in the 20th Century - Saul Bass.

Quirky Ideas... with a Vintage Twist for a Home Office

From my image & ideas files, I came across these quirky and clever ideas for home office storage...a tri-fecta - modern vintage, sustainable and quite cute!

Use mismatched forks to hold business cards, receipts, and other notes. Hang them on self-adhesive hook-and-loop fastener dots.
A vintage muffin tin keeps small items separated and contained in a desk drawer. For deeper storage, try a popover pan.

A food dome and platter make bill-paying an occasion. Store your checkbook and calculator under the dome. Drawer pulls make clever hooks for reading glasses and keys. Use curtain clip rings to hold papers.

Keep everything from pens and cards to paper clips and tacks in pretty teacups or demitasses. Elsewhere, use small bowls, tumblers, or bright mugs to hold thumb tacks, paper clips, pens. A picture ledge mounted on the wall keeps them in reach but off the desk.
