I recently rearranged and prettified my gardening work area. While it's nowhere near as romantic and lovely as this photo, I can say that just having a clean, organized, and pretty area to repot plants and start seeds makes me even more motivated to get outside and garden. Do you find that "prettying" your work space, whether it's inside or outside, has the same effect on you?

Hi CasaSugar,
I am thinking of setting up a work space in my bedroom. I don't have much space and I would like to get one of those high desks, like a standing desk. Do you have any examples of cute ones?

If you were thorough with your Spring cleaning this year, you might have found yourself with a closet to spare. For some of us, storage space is at a premium, but others might just be short on work space. If you fit this profile, consider turning a spare closet into an office.

Although Eric Abrahamson and David H. Freedman's book
A Perfect Mess claims that there are
hidden benefits to being unorganized and cluttered, I'm not sure I'm a believer, and I stand by the aesthetic reasons for being organized. So, I thought I'd give you a few tips on streamlining your workspace that seem to have helped me out.
