Easy Office Updates–DIY Style

All month I have focused on Organizing and Refreshing my home and my work life.  One of the task on my to-do list was to give some of my mundane office accessories a face lift to add a bit of cheer to my work space.

I started by giving these inexpensive cardboard file boxes a little color and style.  What started as a set of simple white file boxes from Ikea (5 for $1.99)

ended up looking like this after I added bands of Washi Tape and metal bookplates.

Next up was a little transformation of my white binders, which were inspired by these images.

And finally, I glammed up my black tape dispenser with some gold dots.
