Ever since I’ve been working at home, I’ve been into decorating my workspace. It is because I’ve thought that since I’m spending most of my time here, why not make it cute and pretty?
I started decorating my workspace way back in 2020. Obviously, this was the time we are all stuck in our rooms because of the lockdowns. It was a kinda dark time for most of us. Well, at least for me who was always out and about for the past years. But it was the time when I turned this dark time into an opportunity and it was making my desk set up.
✿ The Pink Table ✿
Before, I didn’t even have a table or chair to place my laptop on. I just work on my bed. This is because most of the time I’m out, either at a cafe, working in my former job and business, or traveling somewhere. So, I started by ordering a pink table on Shopee. I was nervous because it was my first time ordering a big item. The shipping fee was a bit expensive as I ordered it from Manila and I’m from Davao City. But I didn’t mind it that much because, for me, I have found the perfect table that totally fits the vibe of my room. When the pink table arrived, I had been ordering different items one after the other. And the rest is history!

✿ Viral Post on Home Buddies Facebook Group ✿
When my workspace started to look complete, I decided to post some photos on it on a Facebook group named “Home Buddies”. At that time, most Filipinos have been posting their rooms there. I just posted there randomly as it was a trend that year. And boom! The post accumulated around 15.4k reactions and numerous comments. I didn’t expect it to blow up. However, I’m glad I posted it because my room actually got featured on local news in our country. Like what??!! It’s really unbelievable. That feature led me to a lot of opportunities such as new followers, collaboration with brands, and earning money. Yes, you heard it right! I earned MONEY! Well, it is through affiliate links.

✿ Cute Pastel Desk Setup Full View ✿
The entire theme is obviously cute—pink and purple with BTS photos on it. As you can see, I’m a big collector of BTS merchandise. I have their albums, photos, posters, plushies, and much more. But honestly, my collection is still small compared to that of other rich collectors. Let’s just say I’m a decent one. Hehe!
I have fun building this setup. From finding the right items to purchase, working hard to earn money, and arranging them in this small corner of my room. For the home decor, I’ve purchased them mostly on Shopee. While the BTS merchandise is from twitter group orders. If you are interested in where I ordered them, I have created a blog post about it before. You can read it here.
✿ The year 2022 ✿
A year has passed and there are some little changes to my setup. Well, the most noticeable one was my pink monitor. I decided to invest in one as I want to edit photos and videos on a bigger screen. This is also to solve my back pain and posture problems. And I tell you it was effective! It was kinda expensive tho haha!
The monitor is an AOC AG273FXR Pink Power Gaming Monitor. It is a 27″ inch monitor with a rose-pink bottom bezel and 13 default modes of the backlight. It has an adjustable height up to 110mm and can be rotated to vertical mode. I love how bright the screen is and the colors are saturated. And the big plus is that it matches well with my theme!
Another addition to my setup is the iPad Air. It was my birthday and Christmas gift to myself last 2021. A treat for myself and also because of the earnings of my viral post and collaborations. I’m also planning to use it for doodles to enhance my photos and to make them more cute.
✿ What’s Next of the Cute Pastel Desk Setup? ✿
We all know that there is no final look of your desk as you will most likely upgrade or change the decors from time to time. To tell you honestly, as I am typing this blog post, I’m currently revamping my desk. Haha! Well, what’s the best thing to do when welcoming a new year is to change and redecorate your surroundings.
And before wrapping up this post, I would like to thank all who have been supportive of my posts either here on my blog, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and other Social Media platforms. I’ll be forever grateful to all of you. Without your support, I would never experience all of these. From the bottom of my heart, a big THANK YOU and LOVE YOU!!! ♥♥♥
