Office Space

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
