If you can't find one in an office supply place, try a fancy cup that is meant for toothbrushes for the bathroom. Target has some amazing ones!!Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/06692286828174690835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-16137457318355751412009-05-14T07:38:00.000-04:002009-05-14T07:38:00.000-04:00I would invest in a few beautiful silk flowers and...I would invest in a few beautiful silk flowers and a pretty vase. Then I'd add some photos in gold frames and maybe a figurine. I would also be fun to add something inside the cupboards to make you smile when you open the doors. But I'd avoid stapling anything to the walls - it might look tacky and/or unprofessional and really annoy the boss! I like the art calendar idea but I'd nix the perfumed candle - someone in the office might be allergic or sensitive to scents.Ingrid Midahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609389355426171504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-4851291198413202392009-05-14T01:13:00.000-04:002009-05-14T01:13:00.000-04:00my first thought was a calendar as well.

Rough them up with a little sand paper for a shabby chic look. <br /><br />Even better would be some fancy trim molding, like stuff that goes around the top of a ceiling, and do the same- spray paint, sand paper. <br /><br />I second the fresh flowers. Flowers help everything. Small touches like pretty containers for lotion or anything else you'd normally keep on your desk are great, and shopping for them is really fun. Digging through flea markets and rummage sales is great fun. <br /><br />A nice white tablecloth over the desk would help a lot, too, or maybe just some lace doilies under things (like the vase!).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12096066690382874316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-90579208383420666272009-05-11T11:37:00.000-04:002009-05-11T11:37:00.000-04:00I would put a feather pen on it! just to accessor...I would put a feather pen on it! just to accessories your desk.

You would not need much so you could really splurge on something rich and luxurious! Perhaps even something in shades of Marie's signature ice blue? It would really evoke a warmer atmosphere and then anything you added on top (perhaps a print or two of your favorite artist, a decadent little clock for your desktop, a beautiful piece of crystal, a handsome leather desk planner) would only accentuate the beauty of your background wallpapering! Good luck and I'd love to see photos when you're done.Casi Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13409349674984401367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-54786550001339789482009-05-11T10:50:00.000-04:002009-05-11T10:50:00.000-04:00Those are great suggestions!
