Back to school season is always a bittersweet time for me; I'm not ready for the summer months to come to a close, but I am looking forward to the seasonal shift. Autumn brings an opportunity for reinvention in all aspects of my wardrobe and workspace. Below you will find some of my favorite ideas for a fresh start that translate seamlessly for those of us heading back to school, updating our workspaces or studios, gearing up for new jobs, or moving into a first apartment. For more fresh back to school ideas, check out our Back to School blog series.
Whatever your study habits, Etsy will fully equip you to start the new school season, your new job, or next creative project off right.
