01 Ribbons—I have an ongoing collection of pretty ribbons that is beginning to take over my gift wrapping center. I cannot help myself. Silk, cotton, linen, all kinds of ribbon appeal to me. I love the texture and use them as often as I can...for gifts, for outfits, around vases, etc. While going to University and taking packaging courses, I was told to "maybe...use less ribbons" by my professor. (I am still teased about this on a regular basis)
02 Packaging—I hate to throw it away. (Packaging includes nearly anything designed that 3 dimensional from boxes and bags to perfume bottles) As a graphic designer, I know the amount of work it takes to design and produce certain packages, so I have a really hard time throwing them out. Foils, dye cuts, embossing, are just a few of the details I love...I keep as many as I can (of my favorites) and replace utilitarian packaging with my beautiful packages instead. ie. I hate Q-Tips' packaging and therefore, have put them in a pretty and more sturdy candle container. It takes a minute to do, and looks so much better!
03 White Binders—My preference for holding designs, magazine clippings, projects, etc. They are neutral and clean looking and you can easily customize if desired. Secretly, I'm a geek, and love the look of them lined up on a shelf, all perfect.
04 New Notebooks—Crisp pages just waiting to be filled just thrills me! I have about 10 notebooks that I have purchased just because I love the look/feel of them—they are just waiting to have drawings, lists, and notes filled within their pages. The thought of that gets my creative juices flowing...
05 Storage Boxes—I love leather storage boxes lined up and stacked in my closet and frosted plastic in my bathroom drawers. It keeps things looking nice, organized and clean. IKEA is great for inexpensive, multi-storage plastic containers for the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room. They are easy to keep clean and stand up well.
06 Wood Hangers—There's no going back once you have experienced wood hangers. I blame the boutiques that I have worked at...I choose either natural wood and painted wood hangers. I love the boutique-like look and feel, how clothes hang off of them, and the streamline look that they help to achieve. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
