The new office... slightly overdue.

Well girls, it wasn't long ago I was crammed in a hell hole temporary office building with no windows for four months. Talk about depression, I was not a happy girl. I am not really sure why i even showered in the morning to come sit in a makeshift storage room office with my three work besties. It was miz to say the least. BUT we moved offices recently {insert angel chorus} and I have yet to show you our new diggs!

So without further adieu, and I beg you, please don't get too excited- here is my new office space.

I haven't had a chance to do a whole "re-do" if you will, and my boss's exact words to me were "Let's wait to 'fluff' our areas until after the board leaves, mkay?" haha ;)

So here is where I spend my days...


Now I absolutely believe this... 


Let's take a gander inside drawer #1 shall we? Just your everyday must have items. You KNOW I have everything we might need, in case of an emergency of course. 


I keep my desk super clean, I HATE clutter, and I HATE papers sitting around. Yuck. 



My quick glance make-up check mirror 


Here is my lovely computer. I keep my desktop clutter free as well, I don't like files just hanging out. Drives me mad. 


So yes, I have a fan. I hate being hot. And on the flip side- I also have a snuggie. Not kidding. This morning i was freezing. I have learned to adapt to my surroundings quite well. 


Back to my desk, here is the other side. Just some pics to make me smile, and my favorite quote from SATC, you know the one about mistakes shaping our fate yada yada. Thanks Kris my little boo bear for sending me that. 


And then we have my other drawers, which I commandeered from an empty cubie. These will remain in my clutches until someone realizes I have absconded with them. 


Ands last but not least, the sales team little patio, which shall henceforth be known as my little sun deck. Perfect for lunch time sunning, gossiping, eating... cocktailing? no? 


Hope you enjoyed my little office tour, sorry it wasn't more exciting. I need to plan a re-do, I am getting sick of this pink and black. 

PS almost everything on my desk came from Hobby Lobby in some form or fashion. 
LOVE HOB LOB.

Lindsey said...

Can you share the exact quote from SATC that you have on your desk? I'd love to print that for my office, and make frames for 2 of my besties that are SATC lovers as well. :)
Thanks!!

Cassie said...

I NEED to know where the lamp/lampshade came from! I LOVE it!!!

scdoyle1 said...

Courtney said...

Love your new cubie! And when I was in an office cubie, I totally had the emergency drawer! :) ya just never know! :)

Michaela said...

Oh wow! Your desk is so lovely and girly! I'm completely with you with the no-clutter thing.

I bet this office makes work so much fun...sometimes :)

Ally said...

It's sooo cute. You make me want to finally graduate college & get an office job so I can have a cute little area just like yours LOL.

Marjorie said...

Your desk looks so great! I love all your little decorations.

Courtney said...

Where did that green frame come from? That your boss got you! I loveee it

Je$$ said...

i am super jealous.

Kelly said...

did you make your lipstick mirror, or did you get it somewhere? It's so cute!

K_stets said...

I want to work there! Your office is adorable. I also have realized that I need to make mine more fashionable.

Café Moka said...

Great office! Love the little deck outside!!!

My Two Cents ...before I spend it said...

We are meant to be! I was just thinking about my office decorations (or lack thereof) and remembered you had posted a picture of your cubie a while back. So I turned my computer back on, typed in your blog address, and Bam! You had just done a post with your new desk decorations! How wild!

Any-hoo - I am so jealous of your pretty computer ...and your windows! My office just has two rectangular windows at the very top of one wall, but they don't let in very much light at all. I work for the MUSC Children's Hospital, so I have paintings that the children have created, but I am in need of some more color. Got some great ideas from your adorable cubie!

Jessica said...

HEY!! I found your blog via D.O.N several weeks (or maybe a months) ago when she featured it on her bloggity!

I have loved reading it. I feel as though we'd be friends in real life! :)

You crack me up... we share some common interests. for example, tresemme hair spray- I keep a mini in my purse at all times, fun friends, enjoyment of cocktails, and, well, I think Carrie Underwood is pretty awesome too!

safire said...

I love how you decorated your office! It's such a great way to make it YOU! You are super girly like I am and I LOVE IT!

CMae said...

I think you need to come to AZ and help me "Organize" the most challenging desk of all...A TEACHERS DESK! for reals!! I find it utterly impossible not to have piles of artwork on my desk which drives me bananas!

Lauren said...

so cute! I love how organized you are! I like to think that I am that way...

L.Voss said...

I love your desk its so cute and girly! I miss having a desk by a window I am currently inside an internal room. No WINDOWS

Jennifer Plus Love said...

What's hobby lobby is that like a Michael's craft store? Sorry we don't have any in southern California. Booo

Holly said...

I love your cube, your lil you never know drawer is so cute! I try to keep organized too, which so much work if you don't organize it, it'll get lost!

PS I recently started following you and I LOVE your blog. It's become one of the I look forward to seeing posts from.

Sophie P said...

I am ever so jealous of your office space Miss Loulou. Inspiring! Must sort my office area out... XX

Elizabeth James said...

I love it all!! Where is the tray from that was holding your keys??

Summer said...

Love it! Super jealous of your beautiful Mac computer. I've never worked anywhere with Macs, always just PC's that act up all the time. What do you do if you don't mind me asking?

{andthisiswhatshesaid} said...

Love it! What do you do anyway??

MissP said...

I'm jealous that everything super cute seems to come from Hobby Lobby and we don't have any in Boston!

Raven said...

girl, the pink snuggy. And I thought you couldn't get any more awesome.

I noticed something. The green frame with the ribbon thru it, that your boss gave you. You replaced the original pictures, and I remember what was in there. Do tell???

Tricia Nae said...

LOVE it. Veddy cute! I wouldn't expect anything less though!

Lindsey said...

Super cute, love the essentials drawer.

Although, I must point out you are missing one very essential office item: a camelbak! Biatch, you best get one for the back of your chair to stay hydrated throughout the day.

TGIF.

Hearts & stuff,
BB

Jaquelyn @ Southern Dolls and Texas Drawl said...

Absolutely gorgeous little setup there! I love the organization as I am a little bit of a neat freak too. :)

Super cute! <3

Day Old News said...

Yes! We are both crazy...I mean sensibly...organized people! My office is not cute AT ALL mostly because I try to not be here as much as possible. It does have a Snuggie and a Hello Kitty scooter. Please note, I learned the hard way that an extra long Snuggie should not be worn while scooting to an office, no matter how cold it is in here. I'm a tiny Buddha.

Ari- Audrey Onassis said...

Your make-up=flawless. Fo' real.

Izzi Osborn said...

You've got quite the blog going here! Your desk is adorable, I wish I could keep things so organized at work! I have to admit, I've got a "just in case" pocket in my school bag that contains the same mini flat iron. Two great minds think alike! I adore your blog!

Holly said...

Great office space!! Your desk is adorable and I wish I had all the extra space to use on my own :)

MrsAstor said...

So I have to share my Hob Lob love story for you. New to Ga at the time...looking for a teaching job. I was strolling the isles shopping, bumped into a women who asked my opinion on a picture. She said it was for a principles office. Cha-ching! I had a teaching job 2 days later. I have LOTS of hobby lobby love :)
