Organization Tip #2 - Transform Closet into Home Office

More and more people are working from home and are in desperate need of an office space. Many work-from-home employees don't have the luxury of an extra room or finished basement for their home office.

We have the solution!

Transition an unused closet (yeah, right) or one that can be better used (more like it) as a home office! Think guest room, small pantry, old toy storage, etc.

Creating a home office out of a closet is easier than you'd think. Bringing in old file drawers, basic shelving and a simple counter top provide function without breaking the bank. Personalize the space with color, accessories, and pattern and voila! - your own home office that can be neatly tucked away behind closet doors or curtains.

Personalize the space with color to coordinate with the room, or to brighten up an otherwise dull space.

Introduce pattern for visual interest and to keep your work environment cheerful!

Have room in your budget? Have custom units installed (left). Need to focus without too much stimulation? Keep your palette simple and neutral (right).

Before and After Bedrooms!

Do you ever want to freshen up your bedroom without going through a complete remodel? Most rooms just need a fresh coat of paint, a little organization, and lots of personalization!

Here are some before & after shots of some smallish (i.e. realistic) bedrooms like many of us have. With minimal work (a can of paint or two), a bit of time (weekend warriors take note) and some creative accessorizing - Voila! A fresh, organized space that can fit into most any budget!

Mission Furniture Galore!!

Extra! Extra!"This just in ... high end furniture store goes out of business ... consigns their inventory with the super-fabulous consignment shop in Oak Park ... furniture is already flying out the door..."

We are loaded with custom-designed mission style furniture - you just gotta see it to believe it! Classic pieces include sofas, loveseats, side chairs, recliners, dining, occassional tables and more.
