We have been home owners for a little over 3 months now and I’m learning that there is always something to do! Over the past month I have focused all my free-time on organizing, painting, and completing my home office. My sweet husband agreed that we should use one of the bedrooms as my office/studio/craft room. Its a tiny room (9′ x 11′) with one medium sized closet. We created a built-in L shaped desk using table tops from Ikea, a 1″ x 2″ piece of lumbar, and L brackets. We utilized every bit of space in the closet by installing shelving. The final product is shown below.
