Silhouette of Father and Son Fishing
Buy This Allposters.com

When I sat out to find an art print or poster to post as a tribute to fathers on Father’s Day, I fell in love with this one. I thought, this just epitomizes all fathers who take the time to spend precious hours with their children. Time away from work, the tv, the computer, books, etc – just them and those who matter most.

At first I wasn’t sure this was appropriate for Office Freaks, but then I realized it may be the most appropriate thing I post all year. Hung in an office or home office, this serves as the perfect reminder to….

live life beside those you love
love life along with those you love
share life with those you love

Really. Doesn’t everything else fade by comparison?

No Bones About It - This Desk Sitter is Deliciously Unexpected

Joi — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 22:53:04 +0000

I haven’t posted anything really, really strange in a while and I’m beginning to have trouble sleeping. So, I went off on a search for the odd and unusual, the aberrant and abnormal, the idiosyncratic and weird.

Found him!

Mr. Bone Jangles Skeleton Sitter: Set of Two is from Design Toscano, the first place I go when I want the wonderfully weird (unless it’s Friday night, then Wal-Mart’s the mecca for the mysterious).

I must be a magnet because I had been on their website for less than one minute when I came across ol’ skinny. I’m sorry, but I love him. He’s so deliciously random and unexpected – my favorite kind of decor… pretty much my favorite kind of anything. Or anyone.

From Design Toscano
Mr. Bone Jangles Skeleton Sitter (Set of Two): From computer, windowsill, or the back of your throne, our hand-painted quality designer resin bag-o-bones has a hard time finding a place where he CAN T sit! An imaginative gift to yourself or a death-defying buddy.

Gorgeous Rugs for the Classy Office - These Rugs are STUNNING

Joi — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 13:05:46 +0000

Gabbeh Persian Rug

I have to admit, there are a couple of areas of a room that I generally don’t pay much attention to: The curtains and the floor. Maybe it’s because I’m Diva of All Things Sparkly, but I’m instantly drawn to the ornamental elements of a room:

beautiful lamps
art prints and posters
knick knacks
wooden desks
photographs
shiny things..

For the most part, curtains and floors (whether they’re hardwood, carpeted, or feature throw rugs) just don’t seem to hit an artistic stride for me.

Then came Rugman.com.

Rugman most definitely makes an artistic, beautiful impression. Truth be told, any room featuring one of these gorgeous rugs would be instantly more memorable. The only problem is the rug would steal the show! I actually have my eye on a few of these for my dining room but I can’t help thinking how perfect they’d be for a home office. Click through one of the pictures (or one of the links) to check out the impressive (impressive, impressive, impressive) selection of rugs Rugman.com has.

These are so beautiful you won’t believe it. Take it from the Diva of All Things Sparkly. She wouldn’t steer you wrong.

Illuminated Floor Globe for the High Brow Office

Joi — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 16:09:10 +0000

If your office style has higher brows than Joan Crawford, the Envoy Blue Ocean Illuminated Floor Globe might be of interest to you.

This beauty is from National Geographic’s online store, so you know it has to be extremely well made and extremely handsome. National Geographic’s legendary cartographers use a process that combines 17 layers of rich color printing with specially developed materials to create these virtually unbreakable state-of-the-art globes.

With the light off, the globe shows a wealth of political data and 5,000 place names, all printed in the patented National Geographic typeface. With the light on, the physical world is revealed with meticulously hand-drawn mountains, valleys, vegetation zones, and ocean floors.

This beautiful globe would be as magnificent in the home as it would be in the workplace. During the years I home-schooled my three daughters, this would have been an amazing resource. Actually, it would still be a great resource. While playing Trivia Pursuit, if I got one of the hateful Geography questions, I could simply announce that I had to be in the next room for a minute… I left my drink in there, I needed to pet my cat, I suddenly forgot what color my throw pillows were – you know, a fib most excellent.

Details:

14″ diameter
39″ high with walnut-finished stand
Cord is concealed by running through the base
Lifetime guarantee
Comes with a certificate of authenticity and a booklet on globemaking

Gorgeous Model Ships Make an Office Come Alive and Set Sail

Joi — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 14:41:50 +0000

One of my uncles collects model ships. It was a hobby he began when he was a teenager – even before he joined the Navy. The Navy became his life’s mission and he kept reenlisting until they accepted the fact that they’d have him and his model ships around for three or four forevers.

When I was a tiny little office freak, I loved to watch him assemble these model ships. Partly because it was fascinating and partly because his mother (my grandmother) frequently brought us fudge. If chocolate is on the scene, count on me being nearby.

The gorgeous model ships below are from New York Times Online Store and would instantly turn any office (or room) into a very cool place to be.

Especially if fudge were also in the vicinity. I’m just saying…
