Creating Breathing Room


If you have been around for awhile you might remember in 2010 my sister the organizer helped me organize my office/studio so that is was more efficient. You can see all the photos and read all about the process here.

After 2010
Well we did it again. Since I work in the basement I decided I wanted my space to look a little nicer.

I recruited my husband and father to paint my space, my sister and I created a desk with an old door some crates and some tiles, and we reorganized everything.

I am thrilled with my new space, it added the perfect amount of breathing space for the area that I spend a majority part of my day. It is a pleasure to go to work these days.

What have you done to your space for the New Year?

  1. I love your new desk! The crates are such a great idea for storage and the tile on top finishes it off nicely.
    My studio needs a major overhaul! And more storage spaces needs it even more!

  4. Great work space! I love the desk you made with reused material. Very cool! My work space is perfect although I am constantly tweeking my storage of inventory as it grows.

  5. nice! I actually just cleaned up my work area recently. I have a closet where I keep all of my supplies and then a shelving area near my work desk. Underneath my work desk was a clutter of cords and cables! Driving me insane. I recruited my boyfriend to help figure out a better to get them out of my way so I be more comfortable.

  12. LOVE your new desk. It's always good to organize and/or reorganize. I find that it always boosts some new creativity. =0)
    On that note, you've reminded me that it's time to do some reorganizing of our cluttered work space. LOL

  13. Your inspiration board is huge, love that! What have I done- plan to get things more streamlined, put more things off the desk and onto the wall. I have a little 4 ft wide desk and of that just a little bit of open space! Thanks for showing your renewed workspace ♥
