Home Office Inspiration: Vintage, Budget Friendly Storage & A Little Bit Country

I happen to love antiquing and vintage inspired office solutions.  I also love to find original, budget friendly storage projects.  So, I thought I would share three great resources I found on the Better Homes & Gardens website.   So inspiring!

Vintage Home Office Ideas

Pin Board, from bhg.com

This great series, Recipe for Vintage Home Office has some truly original vintage ideas.  I especially love the tea cup storage, pin board idea and the repurposed drawer pulls.  The thing I love most about using vintage items is their slight mystery – they all have a story, whether or not we know exactly what that story is.  And really, isn’t a little mystery intriguing to work in?

Budget Friendly Home Office Storage

Budget Friendly Storage

I fell in LOVE with this picture!  It’s bright, happy and brilliantly laid out!  I love the lunch pail and the three tiered basket re-purposed as office storage.  Kitchen & bathroom storage items are great tools to get organized in a home office.  They look and function like a dream, and are very affordable.  If your home office organizing budget is tight, check out this Home Office Storage on a Dime series.  Love it!

A Little Bit Country

Toolbox Desktop

Yardstick Business Card Holder

I grew up in a small town away from the big city.  Well, now that I live in a big city, I miss that relaxed style.  Over the last few years, I’ve fell in love with antiques and the casual cottage, country style.

When I saw the above picture, it made me sigh heavily.  Why?  Because I saw a yardstick exactly like this at a local antique show, and fell in love with it.  However, I couldn’t think of something to use it for, so I left it there.  You can BET next time I go, I’ll be on the hunt for one of these!

If you like casual country or cottage style like I do, you’re going to love this Country-Inspired Home Office Idea series!

What inspires you?
