{My Work From Home Space Mini Makeover}

It's Monday, and i am loving it! I got everything i needed to get done today. One of my goals was to finish up setting up my work desk, it's no picture perfect, not even magazine worthy, but at least it looks much better than it did. We got this little cheap desk fro IKEA, nothing too fancy, just something that would work, since i only use it 3 days a week, it wasn't a big deal. Honestly, whenever i first got my desk, i didn't feel inspired, or even the desire to personalize it, why? i'm not exactly sure, but after 3 weeks working from home, in a blah work area, i decided it needed to step it up, and make it my own, it just felt boring and dull.

so i decided to use one of my favorite products, {washi tape} to liven up the dull and humble color of the desk. Don't you just love greek key patterns?

i wanted more zang, so i decided to make another faux- nail- head- trimmed cork board, just like the one that is featured on Woman's Day Magazine of this month's issue. To learn how to make your own Faux-Nail-Head Trimmed cork Board click here.

 

Got some cute storage from the $1 store, and colorful pens and accessories.

 

My work space is now complete! Much better!

Now i have my bulletin board with awesome fun pictures, and messages to keep me going through the day, in case i get mean callers.

 

Now it feels like home. You'd be surprised how much of a difference personalization and color do, in the place you spend time in. Your home defines who you are as an individual, it's where you live, make it beautiful and pleasant, for it's where life happens.

 

 

TaTa for now Peeps

{Armoire Desk Reveal}

Good day Peeps! I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend! We didn't go anywhere for the holiday weekend, as you remember, my hubby got a promotion to a new job and is currently training super hard. Oh I love how hard he has been working for us. He is such a great and amazing husband, we are so grateful for him. Thank you Amor!

 Ok, I am super excited for today's post. I have been working so hard on this project, and I know I have taken forever to finally finish and reveal. Well, here it is.  Do you remember this armoire?

If not, click HERE to see this post.

And how I turned it into this?

So it became this!

 

 

 

Whoo, it was so much fun, ok, not that fun! It was stressful, and annoying to be honest! I forgot to prime it, why? Because my memory cells are horrible from pregnancy, and I can't think straight! So it has been chipping here and there, giving me frustration after frustration and I have to touch it up once in a while. Ugh...anyway, to see and read about this previous project click HERE.  I finally have a reveal of the inside!

 

 

Ok, previously it looked like this!!

 

 

 

And now it looks like this!

 

 

Oh I love, love, love this piece! It's super functional for us!

 

 

This is the top shelf, where I store and display my collection of BHG magazines! Have some media storage, and some of my favorite decorating and organizing books ever!

 

 

 

I have so much more space for things, I created extra storage by adding some $1 store finds and tweaking them by making them look more expensive.

 

I used chalk paint on both doors on the inside, not only because I have been itching to paint something with chalk paint, but because I can write down notes, and, does it ever happen to you whenever you're on the computer trying to work on your blog, editing pictures, paying bills, or just trying to pin a little, the kiddos seem to want to get in there and tap on the keyboard, or start throwing fits? Yes, well this happens to me, every single time I am trying to do some fun stuff online. Therefore, this works wo well for me. Check out Nolan's very 1st. work of art! No, he did not write his name, I did haha, but he did however write some cute little nothings!

 

I love Chalk Paint! I used it on both sides!

 

I picked up a super cute clipboard from Target (I love Target!) and glued it onto the door. I love the pop of color!

I love that my super cute Faux Nail Head Trimmed Cork Board is the perfect fit! To learn how to make a Faux Nail Head Trimmed Cork Board click HERE!

 

 

 

I love the extra hidden storage, I am still working on this file drawer, I want to add a super cute knob! I'll let you know later on what I do with it. But in the mean time, check out the storage solution!

 

 

Ok, so this, if I may add, was genious!!! Do I sound cocky?

I love this! It works so well for me, since I haven't any drawers in my little armoire, I thought this would be the perfect alternative for those little office supplies, at the reach of a hand.

 

 

The armoire only came with two little shelves on the right, so I added an extra 3rd shelf.

Perfect for more storage.

  

 

 

 

 

I am so happy with the turnout, although I am still working on few little details, which of course I will keep you updated on. Lets see all the delicious storage once again.

Sigh...Thanks for stopping by friends. Have a great rest of the week, and see you soon!

~Which Craft Room Will She Pick?: Reveal~

Happy Friday Everyone! Yay, I have a treat for you today. Remember the post from last Monday? Which Craft Room will she Pick? Ok, she picked her room, and let me tell you, I am sooo glad she picked this one. Not only does it fit her taste for decor, but it suits her home's interior design so well. Plus it is so pretty and it was, I have to say, my personal favorite!

Not only were we able to organize all of her craft supplies, but she even has plenty of extra storage room on the top shelf. I love the pretty color and character the furniture gives this room. The organization is complete, but the decor isn't quite finished, so keep checking back for the last touch reveal.

I hope you all enjoyed this gorgeous makeover!

Have a Crafty Weekend!
