Office Makeover

The office in our house has always been far from perfect.  It is one of those rooms that no matter how hard I try, it never looks the way I imagined.  I have wanted to move it around a bit and get rid of some clutter for quite some time now so when David announced that he had a week at home (or maybe even longer due to not having a job, but that's a story for another day) I decided it was the perfect opportunity to sort out the offending office.

It has turned out really well.  We managed to condense all our stuff into one shelving unit (we previously had two) and cleared up quite a bit of desk room. 

 

We used to have the desks next to each other but have separated them so essentially one side of the room is David's and one side is mine.  I personally think mine looks better but my mac laptop is far funkier than his Dell so it is probably unfair to compare.  If he went mac he too could be funky but since it took me two years of whining to get my own mac I'm not holding my breath.

I especially like the addition of the floating Ikea shelf.  We have a few of these in our house and they always smarten up a room.  And for $49.95 each are an absolute bargain.

Also love the photos of my gorgeous munchkins on the wall taken by the oh- so- talented Nicole Finlayson.

And the best thing about the office do-over is that it was super cheap.  The only things I bought were the Ikea shelf and an extension cord.  I think it looks great, I am one happy camper.  My photography on the other hand, well that definitely needs some work.  I apologize for the shocking photos.  One day when I have some time I will learn how to take better photos.  I promise.
