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

If you have a taste for the unusual (and I’ve heard that you do), you’ll be as impressed with this The Claremont Helmet Lidded Bin
as I am. No doubt you’ve heard about my own quirky taste for the unusual.
The sure-to-be-the-talk-of-the-office The Claremont Helmet Lidded Bin is from a retailer I’m completely obsessed with – Design Toscano.
To put it simply, they’re just as off-beat as we are. They, no doubt, have an inner Office Freak, and he – make no mistake about it – knows how to get his freak on.
Product Description:
Though the “Claremont” is an accurately rendered, medieval sculpture, the helmet opens to make this knight eminently useful in the charming English tradition of “the book hide”—as a dust bin with removal mesh basket, an ice bucket, a storage compartment, or as a stash for your latest cloak-and-dagger novel! Accurately sculpted, then cast in quality designer resin and finished as faux metal, this is a functional work of decorative art for your castle.
11″Wx12½”Dx16″H. 9 lbs.

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.

I read an article a while back about how closely related happiness and health were. Somewhere between extoling the virtues of a happy marriage (which I completely agree with) and extoling the virtues of saving money (which I completely ignored), the author said something really interesting. He/She (I guess I ignored the name, too) said that we should fill our homes with things that make us happy.
I glanced around and realized that I’ve certainly done that. Animals are one of the rare things that I love as much as coffee, so there are animal-themed goodies here, there and everywhere. I’m also all kinds of wild about movies and the golden age of Hollywood, so there are Audrey Hepburn, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe Prints on the walls as well as I Love Lucy memorabilia.
Every member of my family loves books, so there are countless (filled) bookshelves as well. Agatha Christie even has her own shelf. She rubs that in Grisham’s face from time to time.
Basically, our home is filled with things that make us smile, so it’s a fun place to be. The same mindset should be adopted in one’s office, whether it’s a home office or not. Just because work has to be done within the walls shouldn’t mean that the office can’t have some life and personality. Bonus points if you cause it to mirror your own personality.
Putting a little creativity into your decorating will put a little more happiness into your world – even your work world. Take for example the print at the top of this post. It makes me smile every time I look at it. I’m flipping mad about bulldogs, anyway. In fact, we have an invisible one named Duchess. It’s the only kind of dog our cats will allow us to have. And even then she’s only allowed in certain rooms.
Click through the Bulldog Puppies to see other bulldog prints. There are countless other categories as well, of course. Just keep browsing until you see something that makes you smile. Then, find a spot for it in your office and make a date with future smiles!
