Less Desk Mess

It took longer than I thought, but my desktop is slowly getting under control. This is a "Before" shot:


And this is the "After," looking at the same piece of real estate (along with a few, fresher roses):


Another "Before":


And its "After":

A slightly wider screen shot of "After":


A long shot, looking down the length of my desktop:


(There is always a pug lurking about, in my world!) You can tell from these photos that I'm not a Minimalist. I'm never going to achieve that one-pencil-cup, one-closed-laptop look that some gorgeous desks have:


That's fine with me. I picked up this sweet little organizer, below, at a local charity thrift shop. Two drawers and a top surface with sides to corral a line of books or whatever:


I loooove the old-fashioned finger pulls/identifier frames that are begging for some tidily written labels:


The organizer is ever so slightly beaten up around the edges, but no matter. You won't notice that when it's set on the desk, doing its job:


It was quite a steal, at $10, nearly one-fifth its original price:


I'm looking forward to filling it with with books and office-y things. It will be a nice addition to my desktop:


And underneath the desk, I already have my accessories in place!:
