Closet turned Office

The pile up

It’s been a long time coming and finally I’ve decided to tackle this project.  When we moved into the house, the closet’s were the least of my worries to work on.  I knew eventually I would have to deal with it.  Since I said this year would be my “Clear the Clutter – and Get Organized” year, I felt this is perfect.  I needed a space to call my office and since it would be a million times cheaper than adding a room so the clutter closet became my spot.  Now it’s embarassing to show the before, but I’m sure many of us have an eye sore. So here it goes..”gulp”..   🙂   because I’m so pleased with the end.

I can see the floor now..  and don’t like what I see.  Luckily,  I saved some flooring left over from another project…

Pinkylicious was the perfect  palette for the cozy space.  Now comes the fun part of creating the right atmosphere.

I made the shelves from scrap wood and painted them black.

    so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything.

    Do you have any suggestions for inexperienced blog writers?
    I’d certainly appreciate it.
