Ta-Da!

I don't have too much to say about the office other than I am thrilled (and actually a little surprised) that it's finished.

Finally.

We have a side for Josh to use for his school work, a bookshelf for extra storage, and my own little craft/work nook. Maybe it's not magazine-worthy, but it works for us :)

There was a lot of moving, re-arranging, purging, sorting, building, "sewing," hemming, painting, etc...but we think that it was all worth it. If you aren't convinced, see what it looked like before.

Here it is (beware: I was very excited to photograph our office after so much work; I might have gotten a little picture happy!):

My side (formerly Josh's side):

Lots of little storage options! I found the shelf at the thrift store for 5 bucks and I think I paid about two dollars for the vintage catalog card holder. The DIY Tin Tier helps add some fun and colorful storage :)

Couldn't forget a little shipping center for {the shop} or my old Minnesota license plate!

One my favorite things I did was make table skirt (using our old Ikea curtians) to wrap around a folding table. I couldn't help but make a little ruffle (using hot glue!).

The skirt hides all sorts of extra storage!

Josh's side (former my side):

Josh was nice enough to switch sides with me so that I could have the little nook in the room. What a guy! In exchange, I offered him the other three walls for his airplane picture collections :)

We can actually walk to the closet now and shut the doors too!

Extra book storage! Kudos to Target bookshelves :)

Now let's see if we can keep it this way! What do you guys think?
