I have stressed over my office situation months now. If you have been keeping up with my blog, and I hope you have, then you know I have been all over the place with this small space. The room is small and it has to serve several purposes. And because of that, I had a bit of a dilemma.
As I hope that you can see from the pictures, I have some awesome shelves on the wall. I had those installed about 5 years ago thinking they would be added storage for the small space. But so far, all they really are is wasted space. I was feeling I could better utilize all of that open and vertical shelf space. After all, isn’t that why I had them installed in the first place? Well yeah!!
Also, notice the large monitor on the desk. Just another example of wasting space. No, I have not officially buried the PC but it is on its way out and therefore the monitor is no longer required. That corner of the desk is prime real estate.
I also had a problem with the bookshelves being full of books. Don’t get me wrong, I realize books are supposed to be on bookshelves but this is overkill. I still love my books and I still wish I had a library. But I can not fathom getting rid of my hardbacks. I realize that this is not proper storage and is not conducive for a small space. Therefore, I had to find a solution that would both allow me to keep my books and allow me to incorporate my crafts into this space. My personal vision is to add a crafting table on the wall where the daybed is currently stationed (with lots more storage). But that will have to be during phase II of this project. For now, I have to work with what I have.
Shelves after the switcheroo
The higher wall shelves are all organized and ready to go. I have a couple of my latest UNC projects. Hubs loves UNC.
