We recently changed rooms in my house, forcing us to move our computers into our bedroom. I love my house, but it is seriously lacking in rooms and storage space. We got creative with our small-ish master bedroom: my husband built a closet for his computer and we turned the existing closet into an office for me. I couldn't stand the thought of having blah spaces for the computers in my bedroom, so here is what we did!
Here is the before of my closet space:
Ugly black dresser stuffed into the closet...yuck!
And here is the after!
We built a custom desk into the odd shaped space
I created my own stencil to decorate the walls in my office
The paint looks black, but I actually used silver stencil paste. I used stencil vellum and hand cut my stencil with an x-acto knife. A little time consuming, but worth it!
And I have a spot to hang my purses in this odd storage area that was pre-existing
Here is a picture of my hubby's closet space before:
Please forgive the ugly state of my bedroom from last year!
And here is a picture of Steve's office:
We built this into a pre-existing storage space located behind the wall that runs the length of the house.
Lots of work to be done still, but its a start! More pictures of my office decorated and organized to come soon!
Thanks for stopping by!
