Maybe its the autumn weather but I’ve really been attracted to workspaces with more color– deeper, darker, richer colors. So many of the office spaces I find are white, white, white. Let’s embrace dark woods, color and wallpaper!
I am thinking I might like adding wallpaper to my workspace to add some pattern and color… you?
A well-worn brick wall isn’t something you can really recreate but I would definitely showcase it if I had one too.
Store pushpins, staples, paper clips and other office detritus in an unused spice caddy. Clever and could be fun and colorful.

What do you think of a pen with weeble-wobble technology so that is doesn’t roll off your desk? This is the Tonboenpistu Yulasha from Japan and sell for about ¥315 ($3 US). Just another reason to go to Japan.

Seeing this fabulous book-cubby desk reminded me that, like music and reading, its important to inspire kids early to keep and use a desk. Hopefully, they will learn to enjoy working in their own space and a desk like this would be quite an incentive to hang out reading, writing and drawing.

This allegorical image of pencils seemed appropriate with the impending election here in the US. I hope everyone sharpens their pencils and casts their vote on Tuesday.

I was snooping around JetPens I stumbled across this unique item: the Sensu Artist Brush and Stylus for touch-sensitive devices. Using the brush end, it’s supposed to better simulate brush strokes in drawing and painting apps and then the other end is a rubberized stylus for drawing and tapping. I know a lot of artists are integrating the iPad and other touch devices into their creative process and I think this might be a cool way to expand the types of marks that can be created. $39.99.
Holler if you’ve used one and let me know how well it works!
