I signed up to participate in the Organize Your Space! 1 Week Series and Workshop going on over at The Double Dipped Life. I chose to work on my computer desk area. This is the before picture. It wasn't in bad shape, but, it did need some decluttering and reorganizing. Before, the top of the desk seemed to be a catch-all for magazines and papers. Whenever I needed to reload paper into my printer, I would have to dig it out from underneath the magazines.
This is the after photo. I removed the magazines and made myself go through many of them and throw out the ones I didn't want anymore. Then, I bought a few desk accessories - a paper tray (to hold printer paper and notebook paper for the kids' homework), a small mail sorter, and a box to hold paper clips, pocket dictionary and thesaurus, etc. We also have a shelf next to the computer desk that holds our DVDs. I went through those as well and ended up taking about 15-20 DVDs to sell at Half Price Books. How nice is that? Declutter AND make a little cash.
Last, I added a few "autumn" touches to brighten things up - a colorful pot with some fall berries and a small candle. That's it. Quick and simple, but, much more usable.
