With all the time spent sitting in an office space, be it in a home office or otherwise, why not add a few items that help make the space feel less like work and more like home? Replacing a standard tape holder with an eye catching gold version or swapping out a standard waste basket with a brightly colored one will do wonders for the ambiance of your office. Adding in extra seating in an unexpected form or a cheerful sunflower hued lamp brings a bit of the warmth of home into the office.

I love the lamp, the paperweight and the print. A good home office HAS TO FUNCTION too so be sure to cute the cuteness factor down or else it becomes a glorified spa space.
a $200 tape dispenser?
love that pouf. pricey but excellent.
Agreed that pouf is awesome but pricey. BUT it does look like they are having a July 4th sale right now - 20% off everything so that could save us some $$$! The code to use in the shopping cart is HPY4TH.
You could always spray paint a tape dispenser, stapler, whatever, in gold and save real money.
