I have some major cleaning and organizing to do, and I’m starting with my workspace. I love the desk du jour feature over at Design Darling, so I pulled some of my favorites for inspiration. While I would love to replace my ugly brown desk with a lovely white one, right now I’m focusing on little things I can do to improve the space.
My desk easily collects large amounts of clutter, and I love the idea of corralling loose pens and other small items in a tray or small dish while tucking away loose papers in a bright box. A patterned pillow would be extra cozy, while a touch of wallpaper adds some fun (I have a pull-out surface that would be perfect for that!).
What does your current and/or dream workspace look like?

I just love the holidays, in large part because Christmas lights make me really happy. Have you decorated yet?
P.S. Not my dog — she belongs to my grandparents! Though I do try to dognap her every time I visit . . .

Some days you just need a big bowl of pasta, and for me, today was one of those days. I turned to Giada de Laurentiis for some ideas and, as usual, found myself wanting each dish more and more. Here are some recipes I’m bookmarking for the future:
- Rigatoni with Eggplant Puree
- Butternut Squash Soup with Fontina Cheese Crostini
- Rigatoni with Vegetable Bolognese
- Butternut Squash Tortellini with Brown Butter Sauce
- Pasta alla Formiana
- Cranberry Bean Pasta Fagioli
P.S. I chose an iPhone case today! With 25% off + free shipping at J.Crew (code SURPRISE), I couldn’t resist. The glitter case is mine for $20 — can’t beat that! Did you get any great Cyber Monday deals?
