Don’t get pinched at work because you forgot to wear green this upcoming St. Patty’s Day! Though St. Patrick’s Day may not be largely celebrated at your office, you still run the risk of bumping into someone who feels the need to pinch you for forgetting to wear the color Green.

WorkPod: The Backyard Office

The Office Stylist — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:47:40 +0000

Some people work from home from a closet, some from their own nook, and some create an Audrey Hepburn themed home office.

And then there are those who create an office for their backyard:

The Office Stylist Says:

Okay I’ll admit, I have TOTAL Office Envy. I’ve seen backyard offices and office setups before, but none like this. The Workpod is a design junkie’s dream or pretty much anyone who wants a modern, stylish office in their own backyard. Designed with both function, style, and the environment in mind, making this office one of my favorite offices I’ve seen so far.

Office Floor Lamp: The Space Saving Version

The Office Stylist — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:59:54 +0000

Having your own lighting in your office is a lot better than using the fluorescent lights in our opinion. It’s easier on your eyes, and it gives a nice excuse to add a modern and stylish office floor lamp.

Office Floor Lamp- $228

If you haven’t noticed, this isn’t your run of the mill floor lamp, it’s a wall decal floor lamp making this lamp a great space saver. Small spaces will benefit the most from this lamp but that doesn’t mean others can’t make this lamp work. Use it in the home, office, home office or just about anywhere else.

BLANKSPACES LA

The Office Stylist — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:38:16 +0000

Co-working in LA is normally done at your typical Starbucks or for the pickier worker, a boutique hotel. However BLANKSPACES LA changes things up a bit with the way their offices are setup.

Architect: Jerome Chang, Assistant Designer: Koren Nelson

Quieter than working at Starbucks since no one is making mocha lattes right next to your table, and more comfortable than being hunched over on a hotel couch.

The Office Stylist Says:

I love the modern design, open space, and splashes of the color blue. I don’t think it’s an accident that they have blue in every part of this space, as I’ve talked about before, the color blue has psychological benefits. Research has shown that people who worked in rooms that were painted blue were more productive. So besides all you working more efficiently, you’ll feel happier when you’re working in a place that incorporates blue everywhere. The modern furniture is nice, though I do think they could have gone for some unique pieces, without making it a distraction.

Eraser Ring

The Office Stylist — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:22:50 +0000

We are a huge fan of cute erasers so when we saw this “diamond” eraser ring we knew you’d want to see it.

Diamond rings may be a girl’s best friend, but diamond shaped or inspired office supplies can be for everyone. Another favorite like the Crystal Diamond Paperweight, the eraser ring is something else to use at work and make you smile.
