Remember when I told you guys that I was redecorating my home office? Well it was finally complete a couple of weeks ago. And well I’m completely in love with my new space. One of the key products that I used in my home office were some wall art by UpperCase Living. What Uppercase Living is are vinyl wall decals, words, letters, etc. that you place on your walls, glass, wood, anything you can image to give it an instant face lift. Since I am unable to commit to any specific colors at the moment, the Uppercase Living collection has really saved my dull boring white walls and turned them into something fabulous and inviting.
You can see in the slideshow above what my office used to look like and then after with all of the fun Uppercase Living additions. Here are the products that Jannifer donated for my office makeover….
Damask Theme Pack: I split this up and put it around my giant message board
Domestic Goddess at work: I place this on the door to my office. It feels like the door to a movie stars dressing room now, :P
Create: Place this in a simple black frame above my desk
Custom Design by Jannifer herself: I put this on my white board in the middle of my message board wall.
3 Bonus Monthly Gifts: I put two of these in my office (Love & Just be yourself) and the other one in the kitchen
If you are looking to do something a little different to your walls, make sure you give Jannifer a hello over at UpperCase Living. She is super exciting to work with, helps you every step of the way. Also I must point out that the Uppercase Living products were so easy to apply to the wall. I had no problems whatsoever like I did with other wall vinyls that I tried in the past. And if for any reason you get them and don’t like them you can always return them. If after 90-days you aren’t happy with your Uppercase Jannifer will either replace it or give you a refund. That means this product is totally risk free!

As a mom that works from home, I am constantly struggling to stay organized. I am thankful for this webcast because it taught me about a system that I believe just might work for me.
As many of you may have seen in a recent post, I just redecorated my home office. And I must say the In Place system by Peter Walsh is amazing. Its sleek design will go with any decor in your office. I love the frosty clear plastic on these products and the pen that the system comes with. Did you say pen? Yes what is great about this pen is that it specifically made so that you can write on these file folders letting you keep track of what is inside. I like to make notes or todo lists on the outside of the folders of things that I need to get done in order to clean out that particular folder. This is great for me to keep track of all of the upcoming reviews and webisodes that I need to get written/recorded for the web.
All of the products in the In Place system work together. So the folders can easily slip inside one another, put them in the traveling file tote to take them with you on the go, or just simply declutter your desk with Peter’s simply chic designed filing products. No one likes a messy office. A messy office leaves you with no place to work, your mind jumbled, and over all just a dreadful place to look forward to each day. With a fresh, clean, organized space to work you can get right to work in the morning with no problems. At the end of the day you can pack your things up, roll it away, and store it so you can enjoy time with family. This is a great tip for us Moms that work from home. At the end of the day put away your work so that you and your family knows that you are available to them.
So if you work from home like me, or are constantly on the go looking for a system that is simple, clean, yet keeps your organized then please check out Peter Walsh at Office Max for all of your organizational needs. His In Place system is amazing to work with, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to declutter their workspace.
In case you want to check out the blogcast with Peter Walsh, that I participated in, it is now available online for you to view.
