Home Office Make Over

School has started and now it’s time for us moms to organize our desk and get a fresh start on the new school year. Make your perssonel space at home as inviting as possible. My home office is important to me since I spend a lot of my time there, I wanted things to be accessible, but neat.
Before

After

The first thing I did was remove the doors from the cabinet. I found matching baskets to place items in that I want at hand. (Baskets from ROSS) I labeled each basket with scrap booking paper.


Next I Mod Podged empty cereal boxes to place in my desk compartments to help keep order to items that I keep in there. Example: receipts and note cards. The cereal box idea came from Get Your Crap Together

I made the wine cork board to place above my desk and when I was at Target all the school supply items were on sale 30% off so I picked up two more wall boards to go with it. (Originally $5.00 on sale for $3.50) The wall display over my desk finished my project of organizing my home office. Let’s just hope I can keep everything in it neat nice place.

I love the idea of using cereal boxes for storage in your desk cubbies! I think they would work in several places and you can achieve any look you desire with paper and ModPodge. I also like that you removed the cupboard doors - looks great!
