Comments (1)We don't have a spare bedroom for an office, so we transformed a closet in our main bedroom into my office space. I'm still deciding on a chair, but here's the space. I found some great "office in a closet" spaces on Houzz too. Here is a link that might be useful: Houzz - office in small spaces...See Morecreate space, storage and free clutter in home office
Comments (7)Lovely set up. My sewing/office/exercise/library and wannabe guest room looks to be much that size and it took me years to get it looking mostly okay. A good bit was really looking hard at what I really used in there. Half the books, a bookcase, half the fabric and the completely unnecessary office supply organizers went as well. Now the desk drawers have room to stash current work, pens and small essentials live in another and the closet will be able to hold sewing projects in progress soon as well. Suspect taking all but the essentials out and reevaluating how to keep things on the shelves will do the trick. I used to have the usual paper office organizing in my spare room office and finally figured out I so rarely needed printing paper and envelopes that they were just fine in a box. Goodbye to the organizer. Perhaps a monitor stand for the printer so you can use space under it would help. If it has a drawer then the small things usually corralled in those desk top organizers could live in there instead.. Perhaps a rolling drawer unit under the desk top would corral some things as well. Not sure what is going on under the corner area but finding a couple good sized baskets that cannot be seen through would look less cluttery. When is the last time you went through paper? Perhaps there are things filed you no longer need. And you know what to do with those magazines!...See MoreWe could really use your help with our home office
Comments (30)An update for y’all: So, I wasn’t quite ready to pull the trigger on painting the entire room blue, but I did go ahead and have custom bookshelves built and installed, in the same shade of blue. I figured I could paint the rest of the room afterwards, if I wanted to. Here’s that wall, just finished — I’m elated. The shelves are fully adjustable, so I can remove one if I want to hang a piece of artwork there. I purposely did not want any drawers or cabinets, just shelves....See MoreTell me about your home office/library/favourite reading spot
Comments (30)Bunny, and anyone else needing something to prop up your book or iPad (I do the same Bunny, always look things up while reading!), I highly recommend getting an iPad pillow. Figure out exactly how you'll use the pillow before you order one. I have the polka dot universal beanbag pillow because I can shape it in any position I want, especially when laying on my side in bed reading or iPadding. :) It has a slot for a phone too. These make great Christmas gifts! iPad or book pillow...See MoreLesley In
