where I work…

by Kaylah Stroup

I just wanted to share a few pictures of my work space/closet today. I guess it’s considered a slash closet when you keep most of your shoes, clothes and accessories in it. But it’s my personal sanctuary. I love looking at all my things displayed around the room. It’s colorful and bright in here and it always makes me smile (uh, except when it’s a mess!)

Last time I blogged photos of this room I mentioned how I loved taking and sharing photos of it because it changes so often. It’s often little changes too, donating something, bringing something new in, so sometimes I don’t really realize how much it’s changed until I look back. My most recent new additions are the succulents on my desk. This winter is really bumming me out. I’m ready for leaves to be back on the trees and birds to be singing outside my window. The succulents are just small but the impact they’re making on my day is tremendous!

Hope you’re having a lovely day!
xoxo

I added some cacti to my desk at work for the same reason! Any kind of plant really changes the mood in the room. Pretty photos 🙂

This is wonderful! I live in such a teeny house and always end up working in any corner I can find room. I must start organising better!

Such a pretty space!!!

Love all the color!

Liz March 13, 2013 - 1:38 pm

I love your little army of cacti/plants. They look so happy! Especially the one in the little tooth planter!

Anonymous March 13, 2013 - 1:40 pm

i love everything, especially your little succulents! they're my favorite 🙂
you're really lucky your cats dont mess with your things. my kitties are so curious, they're knock over everything in there.

I love all of the colors! I notice you organize your clothes by color too! My husband always teases me about doing this, but it makes things easier to find. I always joke that I decide what to wear that day by what speaks to me. 😛 I know what you mean about the winter, I am itching for some green leaves and grass. 😉 Soon I hope.

Sammi March 13, 2013 - 2:40 pm

What an awesome space! Your closet space looks like a dream! I love how you've organized it in rainbow order; I read somewhere that that's the most beneficial way to do it (something to do with mood and good organization). This inspires me to do more with my work space!

I so want to make a space like this in my apartment. That's my next project – your wardrobe has so many amazing colors in it that it adds so much to the room. I can see why you're so happy in this space.

Jane@flightplatformliving March 13, 2013 - 4:34 pm

You're so organised! I colour code my wardrobe too but Rich keeps hanging my clothes in the wrong place and messing up the system!

The vibe I get from these photos is something in the lines of "it's awesome to be a morning person" 😀
I get creative past 10pm!
I'm trying to move my sleep hours to night again (with sleepy times tea an the such).

On another note: Your shoe rack is mesmerizing! ♥

PBunnieP March 13, 2013 - 7:39 pm

What a beautiful space, looks like it's full of things you love which is what a personal work space should be. I'm envious! I look forward to having me own someday 😀

VioletDaffodils March 13, 2013 - 7:45 pm

Carlyn Brody March 13, 2013 - 9:48 pm

What a lovely office space you have. I love all the colours, it's certainly a cheery room.

Harriet March 13, 2013 - 9:53 pm

I've been thinking about getting some succulents for awhile, and now you've convinced me! The tooth pot is adorable as well. Gorgeous photos – they've inspired me to jazz up my workspace now too! Thank you 🙂

Alyssa Molin-Graves March 14, 2013 - 12:39 am

Ug, I am so ready for the spring too! What a lovely little room, I love seeing all of the different fabrics next to each other, they look so fun and bright 🙂 It's always nice to see a peek into a little space like this, thanks for sharing! 🙂

Your place is indeed so bright and colorful. It makes a world of a difference! Ever since I put a red slipcover over my brown couch everything changed in the room.

Angela @ Eddies Shoppe Vintage + Collectibles March 14, 2013 - 2:49 am

Wonderful room! I love peeking into workspaces, and daydreaming about how I would organize my piles of "organized chaos"! I love how you've made the space inviting and relaxing while still displaying so many interesting things! Well done!

Z March 14, 2013 - 2:52 am

What a beautiful space! My main goal of decorating my apartment is to have it be both pretty and inspiring, which yours totally is! I agree that i need all the color in the world to keep me happy :]]

Jade Sheldon March 14, 2013 - 3:18 am

Love, love, love. My husband and I will be moving this summer and I'm excited to find a place where I can have a room specifically for work, surrounded by all of my favorite things…

Kathy March 14, 2013 - 3:25 am

I love this! My room is a dump and I haven't felt the desire to do anything about. I never realized how much I need more colors in my life.

girldust March 14, 2013 - 3:32 am

Heheee I spy a kitty butt! 🙂
I totally can't wait to have my own workspace. It will likely be a closet/studio/office situation, as well, but I'm totally good with that, especially with this inspiration.

Isabella Kiss March 14, 2013 - 2:45 pm

so lovely and inspiring! my work space is in a nook in my living room so having my clothes in there might be a bit (lot) odd, but I love the idea! especially your clothes! so bright and colorful!

rovinglights March 14, 2013 - 3:59 pm

Your work space is amazing. It's so personal and wonderful. It makes me wish I kept my desk neater; I'd love a space that was so me.

Anonymous March 14, 2013 - 4:51 pm

I LOVE your "personal sanctuary"!!

I love your shoe rack. Can you tell me where you got it?

The Dainty Squid March 15, 2013 - 1:21 pm

Amazon! It's not super high quality but it gets the job done.

triangülar March 15, 2013 - 11:45 pm

wow! full of colors and textures! I love that of your photos <3
and how organized are you!!!

what do you do for a living right now?

Melyssa March 16, 2013 - 7:31 am

Beautiful! I love your wood desk with all its shelves of nifty items, the shoe rack with cat butt, the polaroids, and even that open journal…makes me want to start writing down ideas. 🙂 I also bought some succulents this winter as I was feeling a little dreary from the cold. The haven't started growing yet, but I can't wait for spring when they will flourish, just like me! Have a bright day and thanks for sharing your awesome sanctuary. 🙂

Ahhh! So colorful and fun! I'm in serious need of shelving like that for the storing of my little collections.. Do you know where that desk is from? 🙂

The Dainty Squid March 18, 2013 - 11:50 am

It's actually from WalMart! I bought it two or so years ago but they might still have it.

alethea March 19, 2013 - 8:04 pm

Oh wow, thank you!
