Wish-I-Had Office Accessories

If I could buy everything I like, I'd add these to my office.

1. Hydrangea Wall Sticker, $96 from 2modern.com. Because I can't paint my office an interesting color or add wallpaper, I love the idea of giant stickers to decorate plain, neutral walls. 2modern.com has a lot of great ones, but I love the simplicity of these hydrangeas.

2. Standing Magnifying Glass, $68-$128 from anthropologie.com. OK, I'd never actually use one of these, but they're so cool! 3. Owl, $84 from jonathanadler.com. I love everything in Jonathan Adler's Menagerie collection, but this owl statue could be the coolest owl I've ever seen.

4. Sunny Woods Rug, $248 from anthropologie.com. This rug makes me happy.

5. Fritillaria Chair in Belgian Linen, $2,400 from johnderian.com. I love the quietly classic shape of this chair, which would fit perfectly in the corner beside my desk.

Must-Have Office Accessories

I'm on a mission to make my office stylish, cozy, and filled with things I love. Upholstering my tackboard was a start, but I need these:

1. Spike wastecan, $24.95 from cb2.com. Standard-issue plastic cans are so ugly and get dirty so easily. This gives even trash style. 2. Orange stapler, $21.95 from cb2.com. If it sits out on my desk, it should look good.

3. Acrylic pencil cup and memo holder, $7.95 and $19.95 from cb2.com. I love acrylic furniture and accessories. They're sleek but subtle, setting a modern tone but not overpowering other designs.

4. File folder holder, $16.95 from crateandbarrel.com. This magazine rack will make a far more interesting file folder holder than the standard black metal ones everyone has. Comes in green, white, or red.

5. Bird of Paradise Wood Print, $34.99 from modcloth.com. I love all the colors in this funky design printed on sustainabily harvested cherry wood.
