Home Office Spruce–Up~

The Home Office is a place where SO much happens! At least for our family. At first my husband claimed it, when he was working at home. When he left to work outside the home, it was MINE!!!….Well, and Preston & Landen’s too.

So I had to make the office function for me, my husband and the boys.  I had to get creative and keep it cheap.  I brought in a dresser we had from our old model home to house all the papers, office supplies, mail supplies, and copy machine supplies. It was the perfect addition.

I brought in an antique table I have had as a desk in our living room, for several years now, and I moved the desk from the office out to the living room. It has been really nice. More space in the living room now and more work space in the office. Not to mention with our laptop and ipads, no need for the big computer. I was able to hide a little bit of the internet workings and family files under the table/desk. It’s less obtrusive this way.

 

You may have noticed we have two entrances to the office. When we built the house it only had the French doors. I asked to add the other door and that door leads to a exit door from our Master Closet. This is also a door to the hallway where we have the powder bathroom. That way we can sneak right to the office from the Master & from the office to the powder bathroom. It has worked out nicely.

 

I also added a little desk I got from my neighbor and that is great for the boys to house their homework supplies and papers as well as the current books they are working on. It opens on top in 2 flaps and has chalkboard paint on the interior. {I actually have a picture of the desk opened in a previous post}. They love it; although, sadly they are outgrowing it.

I love having this space in my home and it is always evolving, much like the rest of my home. But, this is what makes life exciting and FRESH!

Let me know what you think…

Have fun with your Home Office and Happy Decorating!
