Okay, summer’s over and it’s back to school and back to projects—the perfect time to prep your workspace. Patti O’Shaughnessy, of Patricia O’Shaughnessy Design offers the following ideas:
Desk: An old fashioned art table with an indestructible work surface is the best place to work out ideas, write long hand, tinker, draw, and play. Or choose a drop leaf table where you can drop the leaves and push it up against a wall when not in use; a table on wheels offers flexibility.
Chairs: There is no rule that your desk chair has to be black. Almost every chair at Staples or Office Depot can be ordered in a color if you are willing to wait a few weeks. Looking for something trendier? Design Within Reach is a good choice.

Floor: Add a pop of color with Chilewich rugs, made of Textilene, to protect your flooring from a rolling desk chair. It’s a great surface for under the craft table as well, as it cleans up with a sponge! Visit chilewich.com or dwr.com for ideas.
Storage: Hide the cords and clutter while adding color to your workspace. We loved the cabinet pictured above, center from Crate & Barrel 2.
