Top Selling Office Desk Styles

The world of office desks has never been more exciting. Innovative new products from top brands are revolutionizing the way we work. The top selling desk styles of 2013 provide excellent workplace benefits sure to increase your day-to-day efficiency while keeping your office on the cutting edge.

Corner Office Desks

Mayline Mira Series Corner Desk

One of the most common types of desks are those for the corner office. The top corner office desks save space by fitting conveniently into the corners of a room, so the room nearly always appears bigger. Additionally, by staying close to walls near electric outlets they are very easy to power without having unsightly wires and cables trailing across the floor. Desks designed face walls or windows such as the Mayline Mira Series Corner Desk often leave a lot of open space to allow plenty of room for any office chairs you might want.

Modern Office Desks

Mayline Napoli Series Office Desk

For a workplace that prides itself on a sense of sleek modern design and functionality, nothing says it more than a modern office desk. Todays modern office desks typically feature glass or metal accents to keep things up to date. They provide ample storage space often in the form of stylish cabinets, drawers or shelves, as well as plenty of desk space to work on. Most modern desks like the Mayline Napoli Series Desk seen above feature sharp angles and gorgeous chrome accents that speak volumes about the modern age and so will leave a lasting impression in any workplace!

Modular Workstations

Mayline Brighton Series Modular Desk

In the realm of efficiency, nothing beats a modular workstation. This nifty new desk style brings together all the parts of a single office into one and often combines multiple desks so that one unit can be used by many individuals. These desks actually save space so a workroom isn't crowded with a bunch of separate desks or office utilities such as bookcases or cabinets. Instead, by integrating desk space with these office necessities, everything is at arm's reach. Easy and very efficient to power, they always provide plentiful storage and instantly clean up a crowded space with style. So if you're looking for an easy way to do any of these tasks, or even all of them, modular workstations are always a brilliant start!

Cubicles

OFM Rize Workstation Set

Cubicles have always been great space savers, but unfortunately, they have a bad reputation of being somewhat unsightly. Not anymore! Todays modern cubicles still retain all the characteristics we know and love them for: versatility, easy to power, space efficient, individualized workspace, and able to add or remove units.  Just like the old days, they have the option to be assembled against walls, all together, in lines, islands, or in patterns, but now they've had a complete and total makeover and are perfect as training room furniture or in a traditional workroom! Cubicles have been totally redesigned to reflect the characteristics of most modern decor. Many of them feature wood or metal desks, stylish separators, and even color options! They provide ample desk space as well as small individual cabinets or shelves for storage so nothing is left to be desired!

Executive Office Desks


Mayline Series Executive Office Desk

Perhaps the most versatile of all desk styles is the executive desk. These desks can fit anywhere because they come in all sorts of designs and shapes. Modern executive desks have more categories than most game shows and are available with numerous options. You can choose from bow front desks for an elegant touch, straight front desks, traditional styles, U-shaped desks, or ones with a uniquely modern design. They can be  manufactured with a host of materials and are available wood, metal, or glass, sometimes even all three, and with even more options for finishes. Whether you want one that is small, tall, big, wide, or curvy, there are always stylish executive desks out there with exactly what you need!

Do-it-Yourself Wedding Cake!

by Lyndsay of Coco Cake Land


Beautiful summer is fully upon us with so many gorgeous artful, crafty DIY weddings! The DIY wedding trend is in full swing, from oodles of handmade garlands to wedding favours of homemade jam or pickles. I am still loving the trend of a well-designed dessert table full of amazing looking cakes in different sizes and colours - with a central wedding cake on the highest pedestal, of course!

This mint green colored beauty features a dotty-buttercream-piped look, handcut craft paper monogram initial cake toppers and a simple gathering of pretty blooms. I love the idea of incorporating fresh flowers into a cake - I chose pink petaled begonias from my garden and I love how they look all ruffly and tousled!

So, crafty reader, why not make your best friend's wedding cake, or tackle baking your own? This tutorial is cute and simple and will add a DIY handmade touch to your nuptials. Place it beside rows of matching cupcakes, a selection of cream pies and mini ice cream cones..!


Ready? Set? Bake!

You will need:

1. A baked and cooled round three layer cake of your choice. I chose a dark chocolate 7 inch round cake. Stumped for recipes? Visit my friend Rosie over at Sweetapolita for a selection of awesome ones!

2. Buttercream frosting, enough to fill and pipe a three layer cake - I used 4 cups of buttercream for this cake. Add a tiny bit of green food coloring - I used Kelly Green gel color, but you will only need a tiny dab to create the pale green buttercream.

3. Cake filling - I used raspberry jam as a filling for this cake! You will need approximately 1 cup of jam.

4. A piping bag fitted with an open circle tip - I used a small tip, Wilton size 12, to create a more "dotty" look.

5. Colored craft paper, a pair of scissors, wooden BBQ skewers and clear tape to make the cake toppers

6. A small selection of fresh non toxic flowers from your garden, or unsprayed and untreated blooms ordered from your local florist. Visit here to read about edible flowers! Again, I used pink begonias!

7. Parchment paper or wax paper strips to tuck under your cake for the frosting stage, an offset spatula for frosting the cake.

Make it!

Using scissors and sturdy-weighted craft paper, cut out your initials and a heart. Sketched out about free-forming your initials? Mint Love Social Club has an awesome tutorial here using printed computer fonts and exacto knives! Adhere your letters to their little BBQ skewers using tape and set aside.

Time to frost and fill your cake!
 


1. Place your first cake layer on a cake stand or cake plate. Tuck in strips of parchment paper underneath the cake. You will eventually pull away the pieces revealing a clean cake stand! Using your piping bag, pipe a dam of buttercream to hold your filling. Using a spoon, place the raspberry jam into the center of your dam.

2. Place your next cake layer on top and repeat step 1.

3. Place your third cake layer on top! Press down ever so lightly to adhere layers!

4. Now, start frosting the entire exterior of your cake in the "crumb coat." Boggled as to what a crumb coat is? Martha Stewart to the rescue!





5. Frost away, my friend.

6. Now you've locked in your crumbs! Place your cake in the freezer for 15 minutes to let this layer of buttercream set.

7. Time for another coat! It's like painting a wall, right?

8. Mmmm, buttercream. It doesn't need to be perfect because we're piping on top of this layer. You can pull out the parchment paper strips now!


Grab that piping bag again! Now, begin piping little dots, starting from the bottom and working your way up to the top. Pipe rows of dots.


Once you've piped the exterior, pipe the top of the cake with dots, too!


Place your small gathering of blooms on top. Beautiful roses will work, too - check out my pal Linda's rose covered cake here over at Call Me Cupcake! Plunk your cute little monogram letters into the cake...


And blammo! You have the cutest wedding cake!!

Now walk, don't run, to the wedding reception with this little beauty in hand! Actually, I would recommend transporting all the elements separately and placing the flowers and cake toppers on it when you arrive at the venue to set up! Keep the flowers in water and in the fridge to avoid wilting.


Hooray to love, and DIY weddings! Hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

until next time!

New House: Updated Wingback Chairs

Hey there. I haven't blogged in a while, but I have so many great projects that I'd love to share with you in the months ahead. We've been busy moving in our new house, unpacking boxes, and organizing the house this last month. The decorating is slowly coming together- a little over time. 

Here's a peek inside half of our living room with the newly reupholstered wingback chairs.


These chairs were wonderful freebies from a family member, so I decided to have them both recovered in canvas drop cloths to instantly update them for our new house. The coffee table and french dressers are refurbished, vintage pieces that I found and painted.   


Here's what the chairs looked like before...


They don't even look like the same chair! I'm so pleased with the outcome. For $250 I practically have two new pieces of furniture, knowing these sell for $500 each retail- I feel like I got a bargain! 


Now if I could only find some beautiful art for the walls- to bring in some color, the living room would be almost complete.  


Thanks for stopping by.

Home Libraries That Ignite the Imagination

Deisgned by Martin Kemp. Photo by Andrew Twort via Architectural Digest.
There exists home libraries of all styles, but one common denominator is that each one is certain to tell a unique story, as every bookshelf holds a one-of-a-kind collection by its owner(s).  Whether you have Shakespeare or Murakami residing on your shelves, or keep special display of mementos, a home library's contents can reflect a great deal about one’s identity and personal history.

Bookshelves allow the opportunity to display a variety of marvelous keepsakes, but many may not realize it's also a wonderful way to display artwork and other framed treasures as well.  The charming library above applies color to excellent purpose, which is further highlighted by plenty of natural light.  The lemonade-fresh sofa, bright pillows and accent rug make for a cozy retreat - a perfect setting for settling down with a favorite book.
Style a hand-carved wooden desk and vintage accent chair with historical artifacts and art to inspire learning and curiosity within your home library.  We can’t help but admire the floor-to-ceiling shelving, which is enough to make any bookworm’s heart skip a beat.

An executive desk and formal sitting area complete with an elegant loveseat, sets an ideal ambiance for casual meetings, should you also choose to utilize your library as a home office. Stunning glass-paneled bookcases are perfect for safely keeping coveted first editions.

Placing a uniquely-patterned accent rug such as the one pictured above can create an inviting coziness within your library. Add a comely pedestal round dining table and a few graceful arm chairs to make a truly welcoming setting.  However, it's the art deco pendant lamp above it that steals the show here.  Who wouldn't want to read or write by the luminescent glow of that magnificent lamp?
We love this look so much (pedestal table within library), here are a few more examples to gaze upon:

These curved built-in bookcases particularly compliment round tables, which lend a sense of infinite space as the eyes will never reach an ending.  The powder-blue curtains and tufted sofa enhance the room with a subtle pop of color.
There’s no denying we like pedestal tables. Here are a few:

Home libraries will always endear to us, as they continue to endlessly fascinate, offering a unique assortment of books, magazines, journals and collections that pique curiosities and encourage learning.
No matter what you chose to display and keep in this special space, the main appeal of home libraries is that they are the only room in any home that guarantees adventures beyond its four walls - the stories contained within teach ideas of the past, concepts of the future, and infinite travel of the imagination.
