A Home Office Makeover

A recent client was overwhelmed with the amount of clutter & paper in her home office, so I was happy to help her simplify things :)

 

Truth be told, its hard to look thru every.single.piece.of.paper while we are de-cluttering an office. And this office held a lot of keepsake photos as well. So, I filled a small bin with "homework" for the client to look through after I left.....papers, personal information, and photos. (I created a file system in her filing drawer, so she can put the papers she wants to keep in there. And I left a few empty bins up top in the shelves to house the photos she decides to keep.)

 This desktop was hardly in working condition!! Thank goodness we were able to clear the clutter & restored it to a workable space.

 She has plenty of room to grow in these cabinets now....

 Office drawers and junk drawers are my favorite!!! I used a few acrylic drawer organizers and grouped together her stationary/mailing supplies, office supplies, and miscellaneous supplies.

Please give me call if your home office is in desperate need of a transformation! :)

My Office Transformation

My office transformation has been a year in the making,

and today I'm finally ready to share it with you.....

My "before" desk was almost 20 years old (yes, it was my husband's when he was in college!), so I have desperately been wanting to replace it. But it took me some time to find exactly what I was looking for.

I found this beauty (and the chair!) on Overstock.com if anyone is wondering :) Plus, I was determined to get the printer off the desk, so I purchased an old filing cabinet and moved the printer on top. Add some desk organizers, a cute bulletin board, custom mouse pad off of Etsy.com and a lamp, and I was in business!

Next up, the drawers were in need of some TLC! I lined my new desk drawers with contact paper, and then purchased some simple acrylic drawer organizers from Target. (Plus, it helps that the new drawer is much wider!)

 Again, another acrylic divider with some contact paper, as well as Velcro straps to keep those pesky cords organized.

 The old bookcase help my scrapbooks, plus my kids' craft supplies. Well, we added a second bookcase to accommodate some of my work materials, and the kids ever-expanding craft stuff.

 The bookcase on the left holds my things, and the one on the right is for the kids. Most of the white containers are from the Dollar Store (!), the baskets are from TJ Maxx, and the thin black art boxes up top are from the Container Store. They hold my kids' XL art projects from school, etc.

 

The kids' stuff is divided into boxes/buckets for:

-paint

-stamps

-stickers

-sewing

-creations

-loose paper

-beads

-rainbow loom

-miscellaneous supplies

 

Yes, we like to "craft" in my house!!

I hope you like my office transformation! Please comment below if you have a question on a certain product & where I purchased it. Or, if you need any ideas on how to organize your office & craft supplies!

An Office Transformation

This client had just moved into a new house, and had an amazing space off her (huge!) closet that she wanted to turn into an office. I was SO happy to help make that happen in just a few short hours...
 

Such a big difference!

 

Pretty bins, bookplates, and labels - three of my favorite things!



We de-cluttered her desk, and added a Pottery Barn wall system to help keep her organized.

It's amazing what we can do with a little bit of determination, a few hours, and whole lot of trash bags! :)

 

As the end of the month draws near, have you fulfilled your New Year's Resolution to become more organized?!! Contact me if you need a little nudge in the right direction.....
