It’s almost like a what’s in my purse blog post, but we’re getting to the nitty gritty and showing you what’s really in my desk. For the most part I try to keep it as clean and organized as I can. But usually I have notebooks, vitamins, pens, receipts, everything dumped out on top of the desk and it usually gets shoved into one of the many drawers in the desk when I want it cleared off asap.
I will always continue to have at least one junk drawer, because who can really keep that organized, all the time? Definitely not me.
So let’s take a peek shall we?
There’s five drawers to my Ikea alex drawer unit that I bought while we were living in Canada. I’m pleased with the amount of stuff it holds, and how convent it is.
Top drawer is for quick access. Hand creams, notebooks I use on the daily, scissors, post it notes, everything else you see.
Alright, this is the junk drawer I was referring to. Miscellaneous cables (mainly for charging my phone on the go), coin purses, business cards from networking, our mailing address stamp that I got on Etsy. Newfoundland Screech Coffee!
Ah, one of my favourites. The nail drawer. The clear boxes I purchased from Daiso. One box is reserved solely for Dior nail polishes and they’re right up front. Second one is for the one’s I use on the regular (neutral nails, pinks and top coats). The one in the back has colours I rarely wear. Then I have my business cards buttons, nail polish remover, nail tools, more notebooks and a couple of bubble wrap envelopes.
I store my cameras in here, along with cords and chargers. A few miscellaneous boxes, and wooden cutlery too.
Last but not least, my stationary drawer! I’m a pen lover and stationary collector, and I love having options. I have a couple of pencil cases filled with markers, fine point gel pens, pencils, erasers. The rest is filled up with cards we received on our wedding day or wedding reception day along with my Fitbit box, and some fun coloured staples.
Do you have a desk with drawers? What do you keep in it?
How organized/cluttered is your work space?

Hi Nancy! I like your desk a lot. White clean furniture is the best. I don’t have a desk, and my workspace is a laptop on the kitchen counter. #citylivingproblems … so you keep nail polish in your desk? Strange, but I guess helpful if that’s where you do your nails. :)

@Ashley @ A Lady Goes West: Nah! Not strange at all :) I don’t like them on “display” so to speak, so they’re tucked away for when I need to do my nails and I always do them at my desk anyway.

I’m a stationary/pen hoarder too :) I have multiple little cases, as well as 3 cups on my desk AND a drawer next to it with reserves and all my colors sharpies.
I looooove posts like this. And I love your desk. My current one is just a table without drawers. Don’t really miss drawers THAT much but… I do miss them a little bit.

I love keeping fresh flowers on my desk, it makes me feel so much more motivated for everything!
Your desk is so neat and tidy. I work from my couch on my laptop and my sidetable is full of stuff all the time. The desk in our office is a mess too.

Your desk is much neater than mine. I usually have to tackle it at least once a week.

You desk is much cleaner than mine ever is. And you have a lot more things. I am always trying to think of ideas of what to put inside the desk.
Your drawers look so organized. I wish I was that organized. Mine always look like your junk drawer. :)
Oh my gosh, you are inspiring me to get more organized, your desk is beautiful, haha!

I love the sneak peek in the drawers. Feels like snooping haha. I need to get my desk together! PS I love your vase!!
Your desk is so organized compared to mine! But then again, I am a student and that’s expected!
You are so organized I can’t even stand it:) We have a built in desk area in our place but it doesn’t have drawers so stuff just ends up piled everywhere. My New Year’s resolution is to get some organizers and filing cabinets!
Love the organization of everything! Lovely desk– so white and clean.
Every time I see pictures of your desk I swoon. I love it so much. All of my stuff is out in the open, I need a desk with drawers so I can hide it to some extent lol
