Create A Small But Functional Office Anywhere

Since we are more and more working from home and trying to keep up with some kind of normal day-to-day things, plus some of you are homeschooling on top of everything else – a home office of some kind can really take the strain off the kitchen table or island that always seems to be where a makeshift office winds up. If you give it a little thought, you can Create A Small But Functional Office Anywhere with furniture items you might not think of as office furniture. In the last couple of homes, I didn’t have a space to call my own. Hubby always had a nice office set up in one of the bedrooms, I just used any space I could find. In the last house, I used the buffet in the breakfast area as my desk. It was nice to have a small space where I could leave my computer set up and have a space to call my own. The buffet had a nice surface to work on and there was a great window to look out. I could leave everything set up and use it any time I wanted to. It was nice that it was next to the kitchen and family room, so I was always in the hub of things. I think this setup proved you can Create A Small But Functional Office Anywhere. You can see how I took some thrifty items and “blinged” them up to create a functional and pretty desk area here. Our new home had a bonus of 3 bedrooms and a loft, so hubby could still have a private office in one of the bedrooms and I could claim the loft as my space. We had several pieces of furniture that were in our last home that didn’t find a place in this house, so it all kind of gravitated to the loft. That was just perfect for me since it gave me a sitting room and an office. The small settee was in our bedroom in the last house and the leather chair was in the living room. They are perfect here for a small seating area. The office space is small but really efficient for my needs. The gateleg table was used as an end table in the previous house. Here it makes a perfect desk. (You can see my tutorial on how to reupholster your office chair here. ) To see how I pulled the aka Loft/Girl Cave/Office together, check out all the details here.
