Do you decorate your workspace? How can I make my cubicle a bit more homey and evoke some of my personality while still appearing professional?

I also need to step my decor up! I personally have a couple of fake plants and some postcards from recent trips that are pinned up around my desk that make me smile. I’m also trying to elevate everyday things to help make my decor more functional. For example, swapping out my old notebook with one that’s a little more aesthetic; adding a fun cup to hold my pens. I recently thrifted a little tray to hold my lotion and chair stick at work. Small things that make me happy - and that I can also bring home so I’m not wasting money!

Those small things that make you happy can make the work day infinitely better. I feel like you have such an aesthetic workspace.

I think hanging printed photos are professional & look nice!

Maybe less professional is that I have eight 11x9 glossy photos of my cat printed and displayed to make it clear where my priorities lie. But it's a good conversation starter and makes me happy, so i don't care.

I absolutely LOVE that your cat takes full priority in your workspace. I'm obsessed.

And agree... sometimes those little things are good conversation starters.
