Maximizing Space



With J coming soon (anytime from 7-11 weeks from now), we've been trying to get our house in order and maximize the space we have in our 2 bedroom apartment. Each bedroom has 2 closets. We were using the 2nd bedroom as an office/storage room. But with J coming and needing a bedroom and all, we've done some rearranging.

Our office is now in a closet!

We took the closet doors off, wedged a bookshelf between the two sides (since there's no divider built in), bought a desk for $20 on Craigslist, and we're making it work! The only things I bought were the bookshelf (but that's really for J...from IKEA) desk, the 3 opening frame (Target clearance), the white board (well, it's actually blue...Target clearance), and then 11x14 frame (Target clearance). My sewing stuff and other crafting stuff all fit on the shelf above, which is great, and my sewing machine fits in one of the desk nook things. I like the bright, primary colors of our new office and that it's not overly girly or boyish (since it's in J's room).
The other side of the closet is perfect for J's stuff and the bookshelf gives me even more storage for J (I feel like I always need more storage space!).

I've already used my awesome new office space for paying bills (super exciting, I know) and working on my RS lesson and I love it!

Out of obstacles and limitations comes the greatest creativity!
