Rob’s parents are coming into town on Saturday and Sunday for a short visit. It’s also leather pride week here in San Francisco, which always makes things a little more interesting in our neighborhood. I think we’re planning on riding the cable car (California Street line to avoid the crowds) and doing some other touristy…

Rob and I want to go to Thailand in late January. It feels like we haven’t been on vacation in ages! I’m starting to look at tickets and they are not as bad as I thought, about $600-900. Does anyone have recommendations for things to do and see in Thailand? I would especially like tips…

I was kind of having a rough day today until I saw that Jean received her care package and that it helped her get over her own bad day. It’s a win-win! I sent Jean (my little sister, in case you didn’t know) a package with a few goodies a week ago. Hopefully, it will…

Say hello to Fuji and Payton, my new best friends! This adorable pug duo kept me company on the sidelines of last night’s kickball game. The dogs belonged to our referee and were waaay into the game. They watched each inning very closely and Payton even got to help her owner run the bases. I…

You can’t blog about desks and offices without mentioning See Jane Work! See Jane Work has completely cornered the market on adorable office supplies. From storage boxes to binder clips, this site has everything a working gal needs. The prices aren’t great, but there is plenty of inspiration to go around.

This lamp from Gump’s makes me want to sit down to write a book with a furrowed brow. $125 buys you a classic style, a New York feel and, potentially, the next great American novel!

Nicole just bought her first house in Salt Lake City. She’s moving in this weekend. When she asked for help decorating her new office/guest bedroom, we were glad to oblige! Plus, it fits perfectly with our stylish desk theme today! Here’s the photo of her office with the old owner’s stuff in it. We’re working…

These Bisley 5 drawer cabinets are probably too big for my desk…but, oh my, do I love them! Very industrial chic! I would like one in white or silver to help keep all my art supplies organized. Only $99 for organizational bliss. Or, you can buy something similar, but not as cute, in wood from…

Here is a photo of the task at hand: the desk in our dining room that needs help. This photos was taken right after I cleaned it up last night and became utterly uninspired. Click here to see another photo with a bit more of the surroundings. The only things that need to stay on…

Rob just replaced our old computer monitor with an LCD screen and I am struggling with how to “stage” the desk. It’s in our dining room, so it needs to be functional but also pretty sparse. I probably need to buy a lamp and some desk accessories. So all of today’s posts are going to…
