SERIES SUBMISSION: KEEPING IT CLEAN

How many of us need a little help in keeping our daily lives and spaces a little more tidy? Guilty! Thank goodness for people like Carlee at Deliciously Organized! I'm so excited for her series idea "Keeping It Clean" for quick, easy, and stylish tips for keeping it together during our crazy lives...

Keeping the space fresh, clean and streamlined, this office space uses a beautiful mint to create a look that is put together, and cohesive. The storage baskets keep messy papers and files tucked away, without standing out. A large frame centralized behind the desk keeps inspiration organized, but still accessible. Makes for a divine space to work in...

A fabulous little office space, and a great tip! I love how the all-over color distracts from little pieces of clutter and books. Painting the face of the bookcase is so fun, too. Don't forget to let me know what you're thinking of all these great posts!
