I have a favorite spot in my house. Though I don’t sit there everyday, I love how I feel when I pass by this little area at the top of my stairs. It’s mine, where I have all my creations and my “stuff”. Sometimes when I walk past, I get a burst of creativity. If I worked from home this space would definitely be my office. But I don’t particularly want to imagine sitting at another desk right now, I just want to veg….
Ninety percent of my office is DIY. I wish I could say I have an amazing area with custom made furniture, but that wouldn’t be me. One day, maybe, when I am ultra rich…but this is real life and I’m a working soon to-be mama with real life billz!
My desk is from Ikea $79.00
The shelf above the desk is also from Ikea, but I spray painted the bars gold.
I spray painted the picture frame gold as well. I also made the little flower hearts out of cardboard boxes I painted then glued the flowers inside.
To make the cute cork board squares I first bought these from Target.
I covered the squares by using spray glue and this perfect Gold Dot Burlap from JoAnns
These adorable magazine holders I made as well, you can view the whole tutorial here
I always love getting a glimpse of how people live and where they get their creative ideas. I love displaying momentos from trips, old pictures and trinkets from places I’ve visited.

I want to be more organized this year, using planners and notebooks. I am old school and need to write things down in order for my brain to remember.
Here are items on my desk

I LOVE IT! You have DIY’ed some freaking cute stuff. Love the cork boards, and the dotted tape. So cute. I am currently in the process of setting up my own space in our house too. I have the white Ikea table tops with the white metal legs, and I have also got some adorable metal file drawers that go under it. Just have to set up the artwork, and organize the whole thing. Can’t wait to post it on my blog though when it happens. Good work, girl!
Thanks so much lana!! This was a work in progress, I didn’t happen over night. I love how its all my personality. Not some store bought office space!
