Again, I enjoy everything but the rug.

Cards on a Wire
Great DIY idea. take out some of the girlishness and it would be a really interesting focal point
Edgy Yet Serene Home Office
Love everything about this office other than the rug. Take out the animal print!!!!
Office Before and After
I finally have some results on the office space.
Going corner by corner
I tackled the closet, filing cabinet, and desk area.
You could not even see the inside of the closet.
Clothes just pushed their way outside of the closet,
leaving it impossible to find any clothes.
CD sleeves, junk drawer, and markers are held in separate plastic containers
An empty drawer will be used for something I just haven't decided yet
Envelopes stay stacked together according to size and color
Addition notebooks and paper are held in the yellow container
Old Mason jars were used to hold rubber bands and paper clips.
Before it was impossible to find room to write
The clutter just distracted me from getting any work done.
There were bags and boxes filled with everything under the sun.
The desk and corner was stuffed with papers
which are now neatly filed away in 1 small filing cabinet.
The desk top is free of unused clutter and it is possible to study in the area!
The only additional things that are needed to light me up about this corner is the decoration that it is lacking.
Eventually I would love the furniture to be white and have a theme which is nsync with all pieces in the room.
But for now, I am satisfied with the work completed.
So what's my rating?
Before Office Corner : 1
After Office Corner: 7

home office
I really love the beige baskets used to organize. With the white, it really brings a nice clean and natural feel to the room.
Bathroom quickie
We had a cookout on Sunday.
Needless to say, my bathroom was not in tip top shape
I decided to knock a quickie out and brighten up the bathroom making it guest friendly.
Bathroom before: 3
Bathroom After: 7
That's all for now!

Random thought
Happy to report that all loose papers in the office are now either filed or trashed. Unopened mail has a nice little box for everyone to sort through and there is a landing spot for recently lost/important papers AND and landing spot for incoming mail. I spent 3 hours getting just the closet and corner complete. Next task is the desk drawers (luckily there are only 3). No new pictures until everything is properly put in place.
Donations made:
15 pairs of shoes
10 purses
3 belts
15 clothing items
2 household
9 makeup items
1 hat
I am warned to not be distracted by side projects that might get me off track of the dirty work of organizing so I'm just going to record the things that I want to do once this project is complete. I have been doing pretty good so far about staying on track and I only went shopping one time when I shouldn't have. I have to remind myself to not go shopping for organizers and containers until everything is out in the open and separated in to neat and labeled piles.
Anyways.... onto the random thought....
Items getting a face-lift:
Desk
Dresser
File cabinet
I've done a bit of research on how to strip the finish off of furniture and paint it properly without spending too much time or $. Since I obviously can't afford to buy the office of my dreams, I'm just going to have to make it (after the organizing is complete of course).
Have to study now.
