Two closet offices in my bedroom

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!

  5. Good afternoon - just found your post at Sewmuchado and I think this closet is a great idea. I wish I had a closet I could do this to. I am now a follower. Please consider adding your items to my new link party at www.thestuffofsuccess.com . Have a great day. (For some reason I was forced to post as anonymous even though I am a follower - sorry).

  7. Did you use vellum to create your own stencil? Did you hand cut it or use a digital cutter?

    Love that damask!

    If you have a moment today, please share this with my readers @Creative Juice Thursday. Hope to see you there!
