Before and After Hall Closet Desk

Isn't this a creative solution from Karli at The World Spins Madly On for organizing projects? It's a mini office.  In a closet!  Brilliant!  Here is her post:

Before and After Hall Closet/Desk

Here's another little before and after.
Ever since the mudroom has been finished we no longer need the small closet in the hall for storing jackets and other mudroom type paraphanelia.


Well I couldn't very well let a perfectly good space go to waste so I repurposed the space into a.......


Mini Office!


What do you think?

I'm using it to store tubs with each of the boys' names on them. These are holding all those little projects they bring home from church, pre-school, and first grade. They've all just been stacking up in random places all around the house and it was time for some organizing.

It'll be a great little spot for wrapping last minute gifts or writing thank-you cards or storing checks for last minute pizza delivery dinners (ok so, I live in BFE and pizza's joints don't deliver herem but still!) I could go on.

Plus...

It's a great place to re-charge my computer when I'm not dragging it around the house working on editing photos or writing new blog posts.

Eventually the bead board will be painted a creamy white and the walls will be a beautiful sage green.

Isn't it a great little space. I'm in love.

And a little before and after side-by-side...

I love that she created a little secret room by fitting a desk and shelves in there.  Creative!  Thanks for sharing Karli!

Many restaurants with outdoor areas now use Auramist misting fans to keep their customers cooler without soaking their clothes or food with water.  Why not enjoy this on the deck at your house?
