IKEA- We wanted a built in home office but were on a budget. So IKEA was the solution! I put together the cabinets myself and became so good at it I was able to whip them together in 15 minutes, my son timed me! They are durable (it has held up for 7 years!) & it looks like we spent a ton when we did not.. The most time consuming part was the measuring and planning so that we had every inch available for storage. There are 3 office desks in the office and each desk make you feel like you have your own private area. It has held up for 7 years and if we ever got tired of it, we could easily change it. I have since changed the ceiling fan to a more modern one that fits the space better.

My IKEA TV stand was difficult to put together but tat's because it was my first one and I had no idea what I was doing. You did an amazing job with this and 15 minutes belongs in the Guinness Book of World Records in my opinion! :)

LOL, I have built so many over the years since IKEA opened here, that it became a joke, so one day my son & hubby timed me and it was 15 minutes! My first one also took me about 2 hrs but once you figure the IKEA way of thinking they get easy. The key is organize you supplies out of the box and you are golden.

Wow, you really did make the most of that space. I love the frosted fronts on some of the cabinets.
