Well after $13.50 plus a little bit of painting and craft, I have finished my mini office/desk makeover and I am now loving my de-cluttered and tidy workspace.
PURCHASED:
(All second-hand from The Recycle Centre)
$5 - Holder for my printer (painted)
$1.50 - Fabric for the bunting (mainly bought to make cushion covers at a later date)
$7 - Under desk storage container
Jar for pencils
Tin bucket for other bits and pieces
Wine bottle box for folders
Grey in-tray
Ring-Binder
I am really pleased at how the painted corkboard looks against my wooden pallet lid, and the wooden pegs make a cute way to hang the bunting.
I painted the ends of the wine bottle box because they had the winery logo burnt in. Although you can still see the logo, it is much more subtle and adds a nice vintage feel, without being clearly branded (see above).

I am sooo impressed Michelle! Love love the wood with the bunting. You must be so happy with yourself!
ReplyDeleteIt's much nicer :) And I picked up a lamp the other day (white ceramic base with a slightly sparkly taupe coloured shade) that goes awesome with it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic makeover. I especially love the bulletin board with the bunting. So creative.
ReplyDeleteThanks Liza! It's made work much more pleasant :)
DeleteThe wooden display is an interesting accent in your office—so, job well done for that! The room definitely is de-cluttered. Good thing you placed the printing equipment above the mini-storage shelf and not on the glass table. :)
ReplyDeleteYour desk is looking a lot better than before! :) A truly cosy space to work in. Good job!
