Modern Farmhouse Storage Baskets with Wayfair

As you can probably imagine as a stylist and home blogger, I have a pretty big hoarding-all-the-home-decor problem. More specifically though, I have a give-me-all-the-baskets-and-vases problem. Not to mention, there’s nothing that drives me and my OCD tendencies crazier than an unorganized and cluttered bookshelf.

Essentially, today’s blog post is about how I had given up on the bookshelf in my office and how Wayfair ended up saving the day (and my sanity.) In attempt to bring this little office nook to life and make it a mini space of inspiration as I walked through the door each day, I needed something to tackle the chaos. Thankfully, that’s where Wayfair came in. Wayfair challenged several bloggers to reorganize a space in their home using Wayfair’s storage bins, boxes, and baskets – and I don’t think that I could have accepted fast enough. Not only is Wayfair next to Homegoods as one of my favorite sources for home decor shopping, but it also has some of the best prices. You know what that means? Money saved to spend on more home decor. (But, don’t tell my husband that part!)

See the Before & After Below!

Before

When it comes to being a certified wedding planner, designer, and blogger, my office is typically where most of my time is spent behind the scenes. When I am constantly on the go with client meetings, this bookshelf in my office is always used as a catch-all for all the day-to-day happenings of running my blog and business. In turn, the bookshelf was cluttered, busy, and extremely unorganized. It was overwhelming every time I would even look at it. To be honest, this before photo was on a really good day. Like, one of those parents-are-dropping-in-and-you-want-to-show-that-you-actually-clean type of good days. I can promise you it didn’t wake up that way, and it’s definitely not flawless.

After

I purchased the Shore Thing Basket Set to each organize my magazine features, office supplies, and other day-to-day essentials as well as the Seagrass Basket with Handles to add in a cozy touch. (Who doesn’t have throws in their office for mornings with coffee?) One thing I took into consideration with this challenge was that I didn’t want to add too many baskets to the bookshelf. That’s because it would still look cluttered and defeat the purpose of it all. In this case, less was definitely going to be more!

Needless to say, I absolutely love how it turned out. It’s functional yet styled well, and the natural texture of the seagrass baskets definitely pops against the white and gray of my home’s heart. Not to mention, there’s a huge change to the feeling this little office nook puts off. It just goes to show how some simple storage baskets and minor organization can completely give a new vibe to a space! Say goodbye to the messy catch-all and hello to some peace of mind!
