Organize your home office
Office supplies can be a dull lot; inject sophistication by covering items like magazine holders, file boxes, message boards, or binders, with a single fabric or paper such as toile.
Make your own custom pegboard to suit the dimensions of your office by stapling fabric and grosgrain ribbon onto a cork backing.
Paint a wall with blackboard paint to jot down big ideas, time lines or even a sketch of a beach or mountain scene: anything to jump-start creativity.
Over-the-door hanging folders save space and keep key documents close at hand. Snatch up clear stacking trays, tissue boxes or desktop accessories to give your home office a design-studio shot of cool.
