Rosebud Studio Tour


I'm taking a break from builing out a website to give a Rosebud studio tour! I know....so exciting. Right now, Rosebud Design Studio is a desk (two desks actually, but this one looks more interesting) in my apartment. This is where I sit most of the day, designing, emailing, wasting time...so here are the finer points of my desk:
1. My Epson Stylus Photo 2200. Words can't describe how I feel about this machine. It's frickin' awesome. Of course, it is occupying about half the real estate of my desk, and is decorated with a plastic lizard and some other wildlife.
2. Pantone formula guide, solid uncoated. 'Nuf said.
3. My cell phone. Yes, it's pink. And yes, it has a Harry Potter ring tone. You wanna make something of it?
4. My to-do list. It's become more of a to-do binder. A mini binder from Russel + Hazel (because I do buy other people's stationery too).
5. Musical bunny, also pink.
6. Completely disorderly pencil holders. See inset photo below.
7. Piu Piu birdie paper clip holder thingie.
8. Laser Printer (because I can't address metallic envelopes on my ink jet).
9. Lacie back up hard drive....just in case...
10. Toby mouse pad.
11. My G5. I think the "G" stands for "glorious" because I hear angels singing whenever I look at it. Not really. Well, sometimes.
12. Hidden scanner that likes to crash my computer. I keep it unplugged until I need it. Vindictive little bastard.
13. Stylish vertical blinds!
Above are the disorderly and disorganized pencil holders. Items of note: various colored thin sharpies, a calculator, a pirate pencil, and a hidden troll (background). The troll was a gift from my old design firm. We worked on a project for trolls, and we each had one on our desks for "inspiration". Right now this troll is sporting some colorful hibiscus flowers in his hair.
