Kyle's Office Makeover

Who doesn't love a great, organized and clean space to work in?  My husband works from home and needed just that.  His office had become a dumping ground for excess junk.  We would ask "when should this go?"  Let's just set it in the office.  That's where everything that didn't have a logical home found itself.  I can't even begin to understand how the man concentrated in this hole.  In the pictures below you will fully understand what I am refering to.  And yes that is a singing Dean Martin doll.  His grandmother LOVED Dean Martin, bless her heart.

So, we decided to start the process. Everything in the office came out.  We only put back what was useful, beautiful and belonged in an office.  We decided to stick with one desk.  Kyle said he had more than enough work space with just the one.  We placed the desk up against the wall the hide the ugly cords.  The mission table which is his favorite piece stayed.  The bottom shelves were used to hold office supplies.

Kyle has some memorabilia that he is not ready to part with.  We used one plastic bin for that and the other for plastic work samples.  This limited the amount of keepsakes to one tote.  We both felt that this was a realistic limit for him.  It allowed to keep the really important pieces and donating the rest. 

We sorted everything else into piles.  Office items, donate, sell, trash and relocate.  There we a few items in the office such as the extra desk and the mini wine fridge that we can sell. 

Kyle was so excited to start working in his new, organized office.  I told him that just because it is so wonderful now that doesn't mean he can spend extra time down there!  Here are the results:

We spent 2 hours working and no money to makeover this office space.  We used things we already had at our house but maybe were not utilizing in the best way.  I hope you enjoyed this project post!
