How do you have your work office decorated?

[Bernadine]

I get a (small) office in my new position.  Yay!  I want to see how the execs I'll be working for have their offices decorated before I do anything, but what do you all have?  And where can I buy pretty, but professional, office supplies?

[Deleted]

All I have up right now are my diplomas.

I'm ready to move at any second. LOL.

Re supplies:

I'm too cheap to spend any of my own money on anything I use at work.  I just use what's in the supply room.

But this site looks neat.

I share my office with two other people. The other two have tons of plants, photos and personal affects up on the window ledges. I have 2 pictures and a tiffany lamp in the shape of a chicken. Stylish.

Everything in my office is clean lines, black and white. I love it.

Except for all the clutter. I'm a sales manager for promotional company so I constantly have hats, tees, cups and logo'd crap strewn everywhere. Which reminds me, I need to create a display cabinet for them or something.

I struggle between being cheap and wanting pretty stuff.  And we have ugly, government stuff.

I feel you.

But my cheapness always wins when it comes to work.  LOL.

I found some old pics of my ancient office.  It was not very professional.  Hahahahaha.

Now it is quite stark.

I keep finding stuff.

Here's another old office...with most of the same stuff.

I'll stop now.

I have a super nice poster that I had framed commemorating President Obama's first inauguration. It looks fabulous. Plus I have an oil canvas over my computer, and a few other prints of Alaskan artists. I also have plants, some baskets and Native art on my two book cases. Plus I have this birch wood salmon in one corner:



The stand is super heavy.  It's going to be a bear trying to get it out of my office when I move to the states.

[redwino]

I do nothing for my offices except hang a few posters that I get from my supervisor. I don't really have an eye for decor. I work in schools so my office is frequently the least decorated room in the building.

[blondemoment123]

I have 2 pics of my H and me, a few cards from clients and cw'ers, a Pats pendant, a Keep Calm and Carry On wall sign and a few other things.
I spend more time at work then home so it may as well look cute.

My office is atrocious.
My boss hates it and always says I need to fix it he'll pay for it blah blah

10 yrs into practice and my poor degrees are still sitting on the floor

Next to a Rock N Play.

[jinkies]

I could pretty much leave at any moment.

I have a picture of each kid pinned to my bulletin board, but they aren't even real photos-- I just printed them on the color copier.

I used to have a painting my daughter did, but I had to take it home last month and probably won't ever take it back.

That's about it for my personal touch.

[wkatie]

I have a few family pics and some framed prints. I am looking for a painting of the local landscape to put on a big wall that is mostly blank. I need to make that a priority, I've been here for three years.

[rachers]

I'm starting my new job tomorrow but the office is already really greatly decorated. Little later on I'll bring in some framed photos but that's probably it.

I was just in an open area at my last job so just a few photos on my desk. Whomp.

[tacoflavoredkisses]

I have my two awards, calendar of my cats photos, a few photos of my family and friends and various tchotchkes that have been acquired from work (like a little clay truck my boss brought me back from South America)

[TrickyBob]

I have mine decorated by having a giant project in the corner, lol

I want to make it festive for the Holidays. I figure around Christmas I'll get around to it.

[birdistheword]

I share a large office with three other people, but my area is completely devoid of personal items. I have been meaning to decorate it for two years now...

[8675309]

Oh I forgot to mention another detail. I have a hutch with glass doors on one side of my office and it's completely bombarded with photos of my kids.

[emjacobs]

I have a very boring office, it's a 12x12 corner office, one window. I have a love seat, a plastic 8' folding table (like the ones you see at picnics) for a desk, two monitors, and an 8' whiteboard. I can pack everything in my office in 45 minutes.

Because you mentioned this...

How do people generally feel about lots of photos of children and/or family?

I have like 5 framed photos.  I don't like to go overboard with it.

Also, I googled patriotic artwork and I'm finding lots of, um, interesting pieces.

My office is a mess

stupid app

[papie]

Just kid drawings. Ok I think I have a big print of a NYC building too. We are moving next spring so I will redecorate/organize then and hang my diplomas

[RoxMonster]

My "office" is a classroom. For my personal space in there, like my desk, I have a few photos of H and me on vacations and a photo of our dog on my desk. I usually keep a vase of fresh flowers on my desk as well. I wish I could hang up my diplomas, but there is nowhere to really do so and we can't drill into the walls anyway.

I get most of my office supplies at Office Max or Office Depot. Occasionally Target.

I think if done right, it's ok. My classy glass hutch looks not so classy with my pics taped all over it though. I will admit that.

[karmasabiotch]

Happy little motivational social work crap.

I have a few framed photos of H and I, a picture of me and my lil brother, and a little pennant banner I bought in Ireland.

The walls themselves are pretty sparse. I have a cliche keep calm poster I want to get rid of and a fifi lapin drawing.

Now that I think of it, miso you might like the fifi drawings. I'm not sure if the artist is still active with originals, but they are so fun.

[Deleted]

FYI That is not the one I have in my office. Lol.
