Small Space Organizing | Office Space Organization | StephanieWeiss

this calyx system from Ikea is by far one of the best buys I have ever made this would be the third time I have repurposed it for something in my home and it looks as if it was never used and today I'm going to show you our paper and small office space organization I got these Martha Stewart dismount notebooks and accessories from staples I have been wanting to purchase these for a while now and as soon as I walk through those doors they were right at 50% off these folders and hanging folders are extra supplies so that took from their boxes so I can store them in this calyx this storage bin is from Ikea and I have two of them for this first one I am storing some wide ruled paper for my daughter to use throughout her school year some construction papers and on the bottom inside is an Avery sticker project sheets I love that these came with lids to keep the dust off these are also stackable so I'm stacking a smaller one on top of it and I'm using it to store extra printer paper I took the original packaging so it's more clean looking and easier to grab whenever we need more I'm using some of these Martha Stewart notebooks for a home management system that I'll be displaying on top of the calyx and then I'm just putting the extra ones in the second storage bin [Music] this storage box is for anything extra that we might need to store I always like it when I have more room but the goal is always to keep it minimal and that is just gonna go on top of the bigger box for the labels on these I went ahead and just turned them around so I didn't need to cut out another base to stick the labels that I'll be printing from my label maker so now I'm going to place those folders and hanging folders in these grain magazine holders that I bought from the Container Store and then they're going to go on the top far left side on the calyx [Music] these gray boxes are also from The Container Store and I'm going to store some supplies in here that we won't necessarily be reaching for often but they are well stored in case we need them the first box will have envelopes the next one will have my art supplies in there I don't have a lot so they fit perfectly in this box and another extra box for again if we ever need space to store more things we have them [Music] these white magazine holders are from Ikea and I don't have any plans on what to store in them yet but I thought it would fill the space something that would flow with the rest of the storage system these are fabric boxes for hanging your files I got them from Target we used to have small filing cabinets that we refurbished but when I decided to turn the calyx into our office storage system I transfer the files in these boxes so we can keep track on the important papers and make sure we don't accumulate too much throughout the years each one has its own category home finance and personal I'm planning to do a separate video on how I set up our new home management system next to that I place this bowl I got from home goods and I plan to put some decorative potpourri in sync with the holiday season as they come next I'm going to make labels for the containers and I'm using the small font so it's not too noticeable because I want it to look clean and cohesive [Music] [Music] for the white storage bins I decided to put the labels on the cube that they're on because they already look very clean by themselves and I wanted to keep that [Music] [Music] now let's move on to the desk area one of my main concerns are these courts they can look very cluttered because like our TVs and any big electronic devices they will have courts but I'm going to find a solution to contain them without disturbing their connection I've already used this space provided by the desk that's intended for the courts and then I'm going to take the Scotch electrical tape and start putting these cords as neat as possible together it's not as hidden as I would like it to be but I did the best I could and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out for the decor of the space I picked a more masculine taste because initially I made it for Brian but we all use the space and plus I don't mind the masculine touch these are all from Target the lamp and the wall art I kept the desktop minimal so it's free of clutter inside the desk drawers I'm using these acrylic organizers to fits perfectly in one they are the absolute best for the smaller office supplies that I have on the top left I keep my white out tape and post-it tabs below I have these velcro command strips because I use them for hanging frames and then on the bottom left is where I keep these metal tabs for my planners and future planners I'm going to put together on this side I have all my clip labels because I cannot live to organize without these labels there were pins in the middle part but I move them and now it just has my bamboo stylus pen for my laptop on the second acrylic organizer to the right I have a paper clamp I think that's what they're called staple remover pushpins and deeper clips on the left side the hole puncher fits right in the middle and then my date stamped and hanging folder tabs are on the right now on the right drawer I only have one of the acrylic organizers because I needed only one at the time just to keep these extras like staple bullets stapler label maker ink and some short cords these right here are my letters for the letter board that I'm currently using as a Halloween decor so I'm going to purchase another acrylic organizer but just a smaller version because I do want to keep that right side open for my calculator and label maker and the last piece in our office space is what our printer is laying on this is the Ashland fire or craft storage and purchased this at Michaels when they were having a 60% off sale they're originally $99.99 but I got them for a little over $40 now I'm going to show you what I store in each drawer on the top is where we have our printer paper and ink cartridges so it's easy to grab whenever we run low on both and I also place the supply of index cards in there the second drawer is my quote-unquote planner place this is where I keep my beloved Erin Condren planner with stickers my Sadler pens and wet erase markers that are in that pencil pouch my business cards and I used this exacto knife for when I need to cut any washi tapes when I do my planning the next drawer has all my crafting supplies like Elmer's glue a glue gun some twine clothespins ribbons and my ever-growing collection of washi tape I do plan on getting a separate container for them because they will overflow soon enough also we have a supply of an Elmer's glue because we buy them whenever they go on sale so iris can use them and we also give them to the school each year the next drawer below that has pencils erasers crayons colored pencils and markers most of these are also for iris to use and the very last drawer has extra notebooks for iris and I since I am also going to school right now I tried to keep all the like items together in each drawer and I will be labeling them here shortly although it's a small space I picked the corner of the living room that has the windows so it feels cozy and not cramped and still be able to enjoy the view Brian and I love sitting on our computer being able to watch the rain or the kids playing outside in the backyard I've utilize this space to contain all of our papers office supplies and computer devices without making it look and feel cluttered if you've enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs
