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.

Marlo Brownon Aug 8, 2015I like the clean concept of your office. This is what I'm looking for. This is multifunctional and would fit great in a family room setting.

Espie Tamayoon Aug 12, 2015I really like what you did for your home office. Our dining room was too tiny to fit family gatherings so we converted it to an office. Your solution is very streamlined and neat, and I like the cabinets. Thanks for the idea, and if it's OK, I'd like to "borrow" it.
