Organised

Pictures like the one above make me feel envious and inspired.

I have always had a love for pretty, functional, office supplies and the older I get the more I want to organise everything (I guess you could say my OCD is getting worse *winks*) .

Ive never been a disorganised hoarder (note: having alot of books doesn't count as hoarding). In fact, I find it very healthy to get rid of things you don't use/wear or things that take up too much space. Clutter makes me feel very uncool.

I've always wanted a pretty and organised home office - So, for my next organising project, i have decided that this December I am finally going to try make our study/extra room into a organised and super functional home office.

Are you a organiser OR a disorganised hoarder?

Hi! I've been quietly following for a while now but this is my first comment :)
Me organise? NOT AT ALL. Chronically disorganised in fact. I have a box of 'stuff' that hasn't been unpack since we moved LAST YEAR. I don't even know what the 'stuff'.
I too covet that nice, neat, organised office...sigh, maybe one day when I am big...

My books are organised into alphabetical order but that's the only thing that's organised. Everything else is a mess.

I'm so jealous!! That looks AWESOME!!

I have a total addiction to stationary and artsy things. I cannot get enough of it. And to have such an awesome place to store it and see everything... OMG!!! Heehee!! I think I should take up your idea as well...=D

I'm organized at the things in my focus. Everything else is a mess. :-)

You could call me lazy with OCD tendencies! ;) ... or just say I'm stuck somewhere in the middle.

AMEN sister!

I too am organized. I too love office and craft supplies. I too have waaaay too many books, but do not consider that hoarding. Books are pretty easy to organize, especially if you've ever worked in a library or bookstore.

I too will be making it all look awesome in December, largely because my husband and I are commissioning a craft cabinet to be made! With a special shelf for my sewing machine!

The only thing about the picture above is that I kind of like to have organization behind doors. Somehow that is lovely.

I don't clean at all (or at least thats what my hubs says) but I love to organize. Everything must be in its place or else I will freak. Im working on a hall closet right now!

I am a disorganised discarder. I am a mess but I hate keep stuff, like to get rid of it or give it away. When I can find anything.

Miss E said...

Love it! I am definitely an organiser. I would love a very pretty desk space to do my work. Maybe when I move into my new room, I can make it lovely!

sleepyjane said...

It's strange - certain parts of my life are mor organized than others. If it involves someone else I plan it down to a T.

Hi I'm Desi and I am an unorganised hoarder.

and i HATE IT!! i have tried a lot of stuff to be an organised one, but to no avail.

I dream of a lovely home opffice space. See, I swing between being super organised and a total hoarder (of craft stuff, at least), but TSC is just plain disorganised. I actually can't see the desk in our home office at all at the moment with his varsity stuff lying everywhere. I struggled to find the keyboard the other day. But we have decided that this holiday it will get sorted out, so he's supposedly busy filing today.

Prixie said...

I am a very OCD organiser! hmm, there are some good ideas in that pic

Shayne said...

Hi, found you via Tamara.

Love that desk setup - mine wouldn't stay tidy tho. Even tho I am organised.

One day when i'm big too!

steph anne said...

I really want to say I'm organized but I don't think I'm that disorganized. I've been TRYING so hard to stay organized everytime I do get organized.

Nej said...

Definitely an organizer!! I'm actually envious of the picture you posted, that's how bad I can be. :-)

But, at the same time, I was raised by a hoarder....so I have some of those tendencies.

For example...I have boxes in my basement from when we moved in 3 years ago. Crap that we don't need or use. But...they are nicely stacked on shelves. :-)

lettice said...

Lana said...

Love that pic, it looks so organised, I have a work space but would love a proper studio!!

mylifescape said...

Love that pic! I am an organised hoarder! I've gotten better, and live in a small space now, so constantly find myself clearing out and throwing away!

Lauren said...

I'm right with you, I'm definitely very organized and slightly OCD! In fact...I work at organizeit.com, haha!
