For those of us who work full time outside the home, we spend more waking hours there than in the homes we love with the family we love.
OK, now that I’ve depressed you, let me at least encourage you to do something to spruce up your cubicle space.
Nothing as extravagant as you’ll find here…
Maybe something a little more subtle…
One of the ways to soften the harsh edges of a cubicle and give your workspace some life is with a plant. Here’s a plant that I’ve had at my desk…
Just your basic succulent. (I can’t handle plants that need any more care than very infrequent watering, hence the succulent.)
Then one day we were cleaning out our supply of old versions of dictionaries and style manuals. I work as an editor, so we need to work with the most up-to-date versions. The books were going to be tossed in the recycle bin, so I decided to give them new life and add some height to my plant…
Use what you have decorating at its finest! Now it’s just a little thing, but it’s really spruced up my plant and my desk! You can add a little design just about anywhere with a stack of books. And no need to pay lots of cash for this one…check out the dumpster, the recycle bin, your bookshelf, or the library book sale.
Here are a couple of other tchotchkes that I use to personalize my cubicle space…
Because I love me some letters and numbers, I *had* to own this lamp when I saw it on clearance at Kohl’s a couple years back.
And this sweet thing from my monkey collection…
Just a couple of things to make my cubicle to seem less sterile and more fun!
