One of the things I was most excited for in the new place was a desk to call my own. Along the back of our living room, I have set up shop in my very own little “blogging/applying for jobs nook” and I love it. It’s the perfect amount of girly for the room without being over the top (IMO). It sure beats blogging from the couch!
I knew I wanted to keep the space functional and free of clutter which is where the metal file folder and picture boxes came in. With only one drawer on the desk, I needed some extra space to stash stuff and those three things come in handy BIG time. I keep extra magazine, bills to be paid, my blogging notebook and my Brittany Fuson planner in the file folder and the two picture boxes (which sit on the floor) hold my stationary and then small odds and ends. The drawer is of course filled with more “where can I stash this stuff” goods.
Although the coffee table books, the gorgeous sketch Brittany did of me and the wedding picture don’t really serve a purpose, these are all things that make me smile on the daily and I think it’s important to fill your life with those types of things everyday.

Where do you do your work? Whether it’s just emailing, blogging, online shopping? Do you have your own desk or do you plop down somewhere else?
What an adorable chair and little blogging nook! I have a very similar desk–I told myself it was for blogging, too…but I still do most of my work from my couch (what can I say, I'm lazy!).
Very cute desk set up! I love it!
Your desk is so pretty! I loved how you styled it. We just moved in and have started to decorate and make each space more our own but I still haven't defined and office area and I really need to. This is great inspiration!
I really like your desk! I just got a desk that looks just like this from Target. A little different but very similar. I love white. It's so clean and classy looking!
I really like the way you set yours up and your chair is to die for. Gorg!
Having your own desk space is important. I can't work on a couch or a bed now that I have my desk. It makes me sleepy and then I get off track. Plus, I love having my girly space that I can do whatever I want with.

I have a similar set-up for my makeup vanity AND home office!
Very cute! Having your own space is always much needed!

Girl, you are guilting me into getting off the couch to actually decorate my sewing room. Your workspace should be inspiring!

Your nook looks tranquil and organized – I love the pop of green from the plant ~> that looks beautiful against all the white.

Are those Passionworks Flowers?? I love them!
I love your little nook though- I don't really have one; partially because my laptop at home is broken so I haven't been blogging at home! I do have my sewing corner set up- but I still tend to move my sewing machine to the dining room table because I have more space there.
Very cute setup
Can't wait to have an office space of my own so I can get off the couch for blogging work.

Awwww! I love your little blog nook! So inspirational! xx. McKenna Lou
what an amazing little space! I can't wait for the day I can have a little space of my own in a place that we buy.
Amy, I love the home office setup! Looks really clean
Hey!
Is this open to international followers?
Thank you!
Love the space you created. Can't wait to create my own after our move.
It's a lovely and beautiful place to work!

That desk is too cute! I was actually just looking at it over the weekend, I've been looking for a white desk for my "office." Do you like the desk so far?

I love the space you set up for yourself! I usually blog from my bed or the couch, whichever is comfortable.
I was lucky enough to get an apartment that has it's own office with double doors! The doors come in handy, because it's probably my most lived in room besides my bedroom… so it's always messy! I need to clean it up this week though! Fall time means cleaning

Your desk is so cute. I love the two pictures and the L. I blog from my couch because my desk is too far away and covered in clutter! I need to clean my office…

Thanks for a great giveaway Amy! It seems like my pencils are always going MIA, so if I won these ones would be mine (all mine, mwa-ha-ha-ha)! I don't have a desk, so I do most of my computer work while sitting on the couch, or at the kitchen table. Not very fashionable, but whatever….

Loving your own little blogging area! I currently blog from my bed, but having a cute little station would definitely want me to blog more!

When we buy our house, I definitely hope to have a blogging space. Right now I blog from the couch…not loving it. Your nook inspires me!
