If your automobile, or even a hotel, frequently serves as your office, the Auto Express File Master by Go Office is jut the organizer you need. I work exclusively from home but even I want one.
In the evening, while my husband and I are watching sports, Survivor, The Biggest Loser, or some other can’t miss event on tv, I often carry a few notebooks, index cards, books, pens, to do lists, etc. from my desk into the den. I think most of us who work at home often turn our home office into a mobile office – sometimes even all the way to Panera Bread or Starbucks.
The Auto Exec File Master is reinventing the way you work from the car. This compact work space is lightweight and easy to use. With capacity for 50 or more hanging files, this desk is a must-have for mobile workers who need a great deal of filing space to keep papers organized and efficient. A special opening in the top of the desk creates a second storage area for hanging file folders. The file folders face the driver which makes it easier to see and access.
The remaining top surface of the desk is covered with the rubber non-skid material – this ensures that a laptop, briefcase, PDA, or cell phone will keep from sliding while the vehicle is in motion. The large storage area is great for office tools and accessories and also for keeping a laptop hidden out-of-sight. Additional storage compartments hold small supplies such as pens, maps, etc.
This desk model is ideal for those needing quick access to files and mobile equipment and at the same time needing work space to write.
Features:
• Compact design for space saving
• Non-slip writing surface
• Holds 50 or more hanging files
• Files face driver for easy access
• Large storage compartment fits laptops
• Several compartments for supplies
Size: 10 1/2″tall x 25″wide x 17″deep
• This product ships directly from the manufacturer

Cool. Way, way cool. In the video below, brilliant home decorating expert Kelly Edwards shows how you can basically build a home office in a box.
Anyone who works from home, as I do, knows the challenge of trying to keep your home office looking more like a home and less like an office. I try very hard to keep my books, folders, notebooks, office supplies, and so on kind of on the low. We have nice-looking shelves, cool organizers, and so on, but this office in a chest is simply beyond anything I’ve ever even dreamed of.
Check it out – I know you’ll be as impressed as I am.
We have a standing family tradition in our family on Sundays – my husband can have first crack at every inch of the Sunday paper except for the circulars. Our oldest daughter and I call dibs on that prime real estate. We always wrestle over the same circulars, too…. the Target, Kohl’s, and JC Penney circulars. My husband swears he can hear cash register bells as we turn each page.
Target’s circular included, as always, a lot of mind-blowing “Must Haves.” A few things stood out – LOTS of things my kitchen is calling out for (KitchenAid, dishes, crockpots, glasses…) and some really big deals on office furniture.

I’ve found a perfect companion for my Must Have Nelson Marshmallow Sofa (See the last post!) – It’s the Nelson Coconut Chair. Same distributor. Same designer. Same reaction.
When it comes to furniture (and handbags, dishes, artwork, clothes…), I’m wild about the unexpected. Who in their right mind would want to be surrounded by boring when they can be surrounded by bold?
This gorgeous coconut chair… I even love the name… would be a delicious addition for any modern office. This beauty was originally introduced by Herman Miller in 1955. In a shout out to retro design, it’s available again after a 23-year hiatus. This 20th century furniture icon has a simple, striking shape, and it’s also a very comfortable place to unwind at home or in a private office or lounge.

Must convince husband that his ridiculous looking waste basket in our home office can be replaced with this blue hottie.
I am officially in the market for a laptop computer desk. I want one with wheels, so it can keep up with me as I motor from one room to the next.
When I’m not at my PC, my laptop and I like to make the rounds. We’ll set up our workstation at the kitchen table in the morning, because big windows, in the front of the room, allow for an excellent morning view of birds. I feed them first thing, then watch them jockey for position as they campaign for the largest seeds (the male cardinal is the most tenacious eater since the male human). I wouldn’t get in either’s way.
However, in the evening, I’d love for my laptop to join me for my favorite television shows – The Biggest Loser, Fringe, LOST (Finally back tomorrow night – yesss!). You know how it is.
I really like the Adjustable Ergonomic Laptop Computer Cart Desk, pictured at the top of the post. It’s available on Overstock.com for under $80 (although this is a special price that doesn’t intend to stick around).
Product Description:
Simplify your home office with this mobile laptop caddy.

Adjustable laptop cart desk is a great addition to any room setting.
They’re available in Mahogany, Espresso, Woodgrain, and Graphite.
There’s a fine balance between running a HOME office and a home OFFICE. One side of my brain wants our home office to have nothing on its mind but business. I don’t want anything getting in the way of work glorious work. The other part of my brain (the fancier part) wants everything to be “pretty” and “homey.”
So I try to fill our home office with good looking, yet functional, items. The fancy pants side of my brain usually wins out, so I generally shop around for less-stuffy looking accessories and necessities.
When it comes to file holders, appliances, gadgets, and such, I usually stick with the color black. It looks so classy… so cool. It also goes with any other color scheme you throw its way. Also, unlike white accessories, which I used to be hooked on, they don’t show dings as badly.
That’s why I’ve fallen hard for these organizers from Rose Lane Cottage. They’re great-looking and functional. Rose Lane Cottage has a lot of gorgeous things for the home office (or a laid back “home away from home” office). There are lovely wall hangings for the office, folders, files, accessories, binders, clocks, notebooks, etc.
The Black Wire Letter Trays (Set of 2) and the Black ETC Wire File Folder Holders are also available in white. They’re so stylish and gorgeous, and would be the perfect place to “catch” all of the loose papers, envelopes, and, well… whatever this stuff is on my desk.
Rose Lane Cottage is a really fun website to browse, you’ll find so many things that’ll strike your fancy. And a fancy just isn’t worth having until it’s been struck.
If you’re anything like me, you’re sitting at your computer desk in pink pajamas nursing your third cup of coffee while Alexa (your youngest, fattest cat) sleeps in front of you, apparently dreaming of running to one of her suppers.
Okay, so maybe you aren’t just like me. Not everyone can make pink pajamas work, after all. But if you’re reading this blog’s posts, I’m pretty sure you have one thing in common with me: We buy office supplies as though we may never be able to again.
Now, generally, that’s a great thing. But when it comes to finding a place to put everything.. or, Heaven forbid we try to organize anything… then, we question our fetish.
Thanks be to God that people make organizers such as the CART HOMEOFFICE 2BIN BK. We get to keep our stuff, and then we actually get to find it!
We actually need one of these in our own home office. I went to organize one of our shelves yesterday and couldn’t find it. I suppose it’s there – underneath the mountain of things I couldn’t live without, but I dunno.
The great thing about the CART HOMEOFFICE 2BIN BK is that you can see the contents. If you put books in it, you can look through and see the titles.
I really like crates like this for books. I write a lot of book reviews for my blogs, and I like to keep the books that are “pending” book reviews all in one place. This would get them the heck off of my desk and make more room for Alexa. She could… um…. use more room.
Click through the one of the links to take a closer look, as well as to browse around at all of the other organizers. I’m all about organizers lately. I’ve found that they make your life so much easier and tidier. Best of all —- now, lean in close so you don’t miss this part —- you get to buy more stuff!!
When it comes to office furniture, I think we can all agree that we’re looking for three main things: (1) We want to get what we pay for. (2) We want the furniture to be practical – to make our work lives easier and more productive. (3) We want it to look good.
