I bought a braided money tree on redenvelope.com and love it! It's easy to take care of and looks so good on my desk! Plus, I have a few pictures of me and my FI on my desk.
Well, I work from home so my office is also where DH keeps his dresser and where we store our wedding gifts. Darn tiny apartment! But, to make my little corner a little more 'office-y', I put up a nice print on canvas from BB&B, a fancy lamp and cute shelves next to my desk to organize everything.
A nice plant always helps to customize an office, too!
i have a poster sized underwater canvas photo hubby took on our last scuba trip - otherwise i have a lot of company products and promo items/posters in my office - i like my workplace to be about work
@Ms. Dove: Like a goofball. I have amusing lolcats picture on my corkboard, a large poster of "Angry Seal" (my avatar) on the wall, my phone and other office supplies have faces (courtesy of these stickers) and I have a large fake plant that I inherited from my former boss that has a "Hello My Name is Raoul Esteban Veracruz" name tag.
In my case, I started small. A picture and a stapler with a face. The longer I've been here, the more things I've acquired.

ha! the lady 2 offices down has a hot pink office - i swear it lookes like a tween's room down to the pink stapler and safety helmet and vest, she would love a pink monitor
@eloping: Oh, I am certainly not that bad! I work IT for a litigation support firm and work long, stressful hours. Our environment and industry is very demanding so I just try to have some fun things in my office to keep up my morale. :) No pink monitors, I can assure you of that!
The only thing I've brought into my office of my own is a framed photo of my husband and I from our engagement session. Otherwise, I've gotten a few tinkiets and photos as gifts from co-workers that I've stuck around my space.
I have framed pictures of FI, family & friends. I have a couple plants, a customized calendar and lots of trinkets from vacations. I have a little candy jar with bite sized candies too! Its very cute!
I have a cubicle so there is a bit less space for personalization.
I have about 10 photos hung on my corkboard (no frames). I also have a pretty calender. For football season, I've decorated my whiteboard with my two teams' logos, records and upcoming games.
Piles of paper?
Heh, besides that not much. I moved into my own office from a shared one about a year ago, and hardly have anything! I inherited this odd wreath that has a bird in a cornucopia on it, and did bring in one of those small ikea end tables. We have to occaisonally bring folks into our offices for meetings so I guess I feel like I can't have too much of my own stuff in here. I do have a few quotes from an office and 30 rock page-a-day calendar. And once I won the 'best hair' award (written on a paper plate with ribbons) pushpinned up.
Not a single personal picture though. Someday, maybe.
I made my cork board into a ribbon board and have pictures and cards on it that are meaningful to me. I also have a few framed pictures on my desk, but other wise it's mostly work stuff. The ribbon board really brightened up the space and was easy to make.
I can't really personalize since patients from the Clinic come through my office all the time and my boss doesn't approve. I do keep both of my monitors' backgrounds as pics of me and my husband - otherwise, just stacks of paper and water bottles ;) and a teensy phrenology head for fun.
Mostly my cubicle is pretty plain. There's a couple cards and thank you notes from clients I tacked up but the only real decoration is a six-foot fathead of Curtis Granderson. The guy next to me and I are both Yankees fans and one day we got bored and started looking at the fathead.com clearance section. I was really tempted to buy a giant Jamarcus Russell because I thought it was funny, but he convinced me to get Curtis Granderson in a Tigers uniform and we printed out a Yankees logo and stuck it on top of the Tigers logo on his hat.
I'm still relatively new (began summer 2010) and people are always asking if I'm planning on staying because my office is so plain!
When I moved in, I inherited a creepy framed poster of a dog riding a tricycle that took me a year to replace. I also have a bulletin board with some work stuff and some pictures of my dogs. And that is the extent of my office decorating, aside from a variety of seasonally appropriate candy dishes. At my old job they wouldn't let us put anything up on the walls so I'm just not used to this freedom!
I'm newish, started 2 months ago, so all I have is a Villanova mug (I'm an alum) for my pens and then random office crap hung up- the mission statement, our task list, a big calendar. I want to decorate but most of the people around me don't, except one girl who has a huge collection of pictures, dog statues, and cheesy quotes printed on neon paper.
One of these days I'll get a couple pictures but other than that I like to keep it professional even if that means boring!

I was lucky enough to get my own office about six months ago - granted, it's tiny, but I love having my own space. I haven't done anything to decorate but tape up an org chart and a calendar - the cleaning lady asked me again the other day if I was planning on sticking around!
I get so overwhelmed when I think about how I should decorate my office! I don't know where to start. One on hand, I don't want to go overboard. On the other hand, I want my office to be a calm, relaxing place where I can focus, and look at pictures of vacations/my loved ones to remind me I have a life outside of work.
How do you decorate your work space? Any suggestions on where to start? Thanks for any input :)
