How To Make Your Office Run Smoothly

If you have a busy, hectic, slightly chaotic office environment, I have a cure for you:

Hire Karen.  No, wait, that's not what I mean!  Hire a person like Karen.  You can't have Karen, she's the new Business Manager at DeCocco Design! She appears to LIKE running a business--I've heard about people like that.  My office has become an oasis of calm.   I'm not sure I remembered what color the top of my desk was and now it's clear and orderly.  Records and resources are where they should be.  There are processes and forms, invoices and reports.  

I can focus on interior design.   Thank you God, for Karen!

Ciao,

The Dreaded Deep Clean

Sarah Susanka, design books, interior design raleigh

This pic is of a pile of books on my studio floor.  I will NOT be showing you the rest of the mess.  Suffice to say I'm doing a deep clean.  Oy.  Don't you hate doing the deep clean?  Pulling books off the shelves, culling, dusting, throwing, discovering (oh, that's where that went!).

disney movies

Why are these Disney movies still in my office?  Grandboy is 10 years old now and wouldn't be caught dead watching them (sigh, those were the days--I never even got to see Frozen).

exercise equipment

And this little vignette of dust catchers just mocks me every day.  Out it goes!

Uline gridwall

The Hub installed some panels of gridwall over the weekend.  They're pretty fab--I'd recommend them for a lot of rooms.  Using the hooks, shelves or baskets, you can really make great use of wall space.  I want more!

The phone is ringing.  Have a great day.
