We’re much more productive around here lately because we made some necessary changes. Since expanding my little business to more edecorating clients and adding the shop, we were falling all over each other in the office. Especially with having to store inventory and shipping materials for the shop, we were simply running out of room.
Not anymore!
Here’s a quick refresher of how we were crammed in before:
Notice how all the furniture, even when tidied up, was crammed together? We finally came to the conclusion that it was time to get rid of the sleeper sofa. We very rarely have overnight guests and it was more of a magnet for clutter than a useful seat. So we put it up for sale on Craigslist and sold it two weeks ago. Ever since, we’ve been moving furniture around and doing some uncluttering.
Resources:
My desk is from West Elm
The poster by my desk is from Made By Girl
The bulletin board is a DIY project that I’ll post next week
The “Live What You Love” print is also from Made By Girl
The globes are from Goodwill and ebay
The storage boxes are from Ikea and See Jane Work
Both shelves are from Ikea
The two small prints above Ryan’s desk are from 20×200 (my housewarming gift to him last year)
The pendant flags were a free printout from blog Aubrey and Lindsay’s Little House Blog.











loving the white table.
I love to see people’s home office spaces. Thanks for sharing yours.
Love it Maggie! Excited to make one of the bulletin boards!
gotta have the “blog and coffee” poster! too cute!
love the remodel. makes me want an office!
So so cute! I love the way the art is arranged on the wall and seeing all the cute storage boxes. Enjoy your “new” space!
Looks so good Maggie! Gosh, I love, LOVE your desk! Rethinking my whole office as I type…
Thanks for the inspiration!
Must have those shelves! Is that chair comfortable?
No, my chair is not particularly comfortable! If I’m sitting a long time I usually add a pillow. Would love to get a rolling white desk chair (or caramel colored!) but it’s out of our budget for the time being! But often I’m up on my feet working on projects or I’ll surf blogs from the living room couch while Ryan watches tv so I’m not tied down to the desk.
