~organizing office space~{before & after}

I have a small area in my kitchen dedicated to my "office"

I added the cupboards above the computer during the One Room Challenge on our kitchen.

You can read more about that here.

But here is my deep dark secret…..

I never finished the inside of the cabinets or had good organization in them, and it has bothered my for 2 years now.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

$50.00 and a few hours and this space is so much more functional!

The first thing I did was paint the inside of the cabinets to match the outside.

This took several coats of primer and paint, and I am not gonna lie, I probably would've had more fun at the dentist.

I got some magazine file folders for important papers from Ikea.

Then I headed to TJ Maxx to get some baskets, jars, and boxes that fit the space perfectly.

A helpful hint while doing this is to measure and write down the measurements before heading out shopping. This will likely save you trips back and forth.

I just hope it stays like this for a long time!
