Desk Accessories Complete a Good Office Interior Design

Traditional Desk Accessories

Traditional Desk Accessories

When you are finalizing your office interior design it is time to think about the accessories that finish up the job and make the results spectacular.  Desk accessories and conference room accessories make all the difference in the final project.  For example,  adding a traditional leather desk pad (2), letter tray (1), calendar pad (6) and pen set (3) can complete the design intent while protecting your new office furniture.  In the conference room a simple racetrack vinyl pad helps protect the wood from accidental scratches or dents.  At SPACE, Inc we like to use Business Accessories for this type of office products.  Very good quality and a good price point.

Standing in line in the supermarket, Robin overheard a grandmother and granddaughter talking in the next line over.  The grandmother was excited about the chicken dinner she was going to prepare with the rotisserie chicken and other food items she was purchasing.  The grandmother shared the special recipe with her granddaughter as they moved up to check out. 

When the checkout clerk had scanned all the items, the grandmother handed her a “bridge” card (food stamps) to pay for the items.  The grandmother was getting ready to leave when the clerk said, “That will be $5.60.”  The grandmother looked confused and asked why there was a charge.  The clerk informed her that her bridge card didn’t cover the chicken because it was pre-prepared and, thus, considered a restaurant purchase and not eligible. 

The grandmother looked in her wallet and sadly told her granddaughter that the chicken would have to go back because she had no money to pay for it.  Robin noticed that the granddaughter looked stricken that the delicious meal her grandmother had been describing wouldn’t be on their plates that night.  The grandmother continued to look in her purse for money, knowing that she wouldn’t find any.

Robin stepped out of her line and flagged the clerk, saying that she’d cover the cost of the chicken.  The grandmother was so amazed and thankful, she said, “I’m going to have to hug you!”  Robin accepted the hug and went back to her own line, noting that both grandmother and granddaughter left the store smiling.

Now that’s what I call living SPACE’s core value of giving back to the community.  The beauty of this is that not only were the recipients happy, but the knowledge of her action gladdened Robin’s heart, too.  That’s the caliber of people we work with.

Beware of Rocker Crossings

Here in Michigan we’re used to seeing deer on the road, sometimes even a cow.  This time of year, we also see a lot of road kill as animals come out of hibernation and begin to move.  But a rocking chair!  Really???

Julia was on her way into work, cruising along on US-10 as usual.  She rounded a curve and was faced by a free-range rocking chair in her path!  She couldn’t swerve into the next lane because of traffic, so she had to hit it.   After the impact, she pulled to the side of the road to assess the damage and call the police. 

Car after car sped by her without stopping to see if she was all right.  Then, along came John.  He didn’t even realize it was Julia until he got out of his vehicle and approached the scene.  Julia was shaken up and her vehicle was damaged, but driveable.  John waited with Julia until the police arrived and then followed her into work. 

It’s gratifying that SPACE has such selfless and considerate team members like John.  He exemplifies our core values. 

Meanwhile, Julia has the distinction of having the most unique police and insurance reports of the day!

Add Recycling Containers to Your Office Interior Design

Add Recycling Containers in Your Office Breakroom of Cafeteria

Add Recycling Containers in Your Office Breakroom of Cafeteria

When getting ready to remodel your office environment, think closely about your recycling needs in the individual offices, the common areas and the break room.  There is a company called Glassform that offers fiberglass recycling containers for your office or commercial facility.  The recycling containers “are available in round and square (soft corners)…Containers are molded in fire resistant pigmented polyester resin reinforced fiberglass.” 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The containers come in a variety of colors and because they are done in fiberglass work best in a contemporary décor.  They accommodate a variety of products including cans, plastics, glass and paper materials.  This is one of those little details that sometimes goes missing when you start to think about redecorating or remodeling your office.

Happy Birthday to Us!

Once upon a time there were two women who saw an opportunity and jumped in with both feet.  Through hard work, long hours, continuous learning, and family support, Kathie and Lisa grew that opportunity into a “real” company.   I was lucky enough to be in at the beginning to watch the transformation.  2010 marks the 15th anniversary of the founding of SPACE, Inc., and we’ve come a long way, baby!

In 1995 SPACE opened its doors on a showroom that was cement floors, unfinished drywall, two computers, and a typewriter.  With only three of us on board, we all wore many hats.  Kathie was salesperson, spokesperson, and negotiator; Lisa was salesperson, designer, benefits manager; I was receptionist, order entry, accountant, warehouse manager.  The original office furniture consisted of card tables, cardboard files, and no walls. 

After a few months Lisa had designed a beautiful showroom and we actually had real offices.    Orders, delivery tickets, and invoices were typed up on the typewriter until we got Team Design.  Accounting was a manual exercise up to that point, too.   When we first had computers, they weren’t networked, so we shared documents by swapping floppy disks back and forth.

Within the first year, 2 more people were hired and SPACE was on its way.  In the second year, SPACE opened another location in Flint.  In subsequent years we expanded the office, added account managers, designers, support staff, and brought install in-house.  Part of the warehouse was closed in to add a sales/design area to the existing office.  That created a second floor that  was and is used as a conference room.   When the second tenant in the building vacated the premises, SPACE took over the whole facility, doubling the warehouse space and adding much-needed office space.

While all this was going on, SPACE became one of Michigan’s “50 Companies To Watch,” the staff grew to 30, and technology bloomed.  Due to the diligence and opportunistic eye of Stacy, our New Business Development guru, SPACE acquired a GSA contract and a BPA with the Department of Health and Human Services.  That put SPACE in the national arena.

At our team meeting in March, Kathie and Lisa were presented with a birthday cake and blew out the 15 candle to the applause of the staff.  We didn’t sing “Happy Birthday”, but we hope there are many more!
