Office Room without a single piece of new furntiure.

Ok I'm blogging backwards on this one..I will post before pictures of the room and the furniture but for now here's the after. The first view is from on top of the stairs. I want to show you my office room that has not a single piece of furniture new in it. Everything, I repeat everything is second hand or built by my hands.

This is looking towards the corner..

This desk I bought from a garage sale I believe for $35 dollars just changed the knobs. The filing Cabinet was shamefully ugly so I painted it and put new handles on. The dachshund ceramic dog was a dollar at a garage sale. I have a flash card with a dachshund hanging to the left of it.

Here's a close up of the dachshund dog on top of my computer desk. This is the easiest dog to care for! I don't even have to feed it.

Here's a close up of the dachshund flash card, the picture frame isn't painted yet so I have it taped on the wall for now. I found two of these green lamps at Walmart for only 7 dollars and that became my inspiration for color in this room.

This is a close up of the bulletin board I have on my computer desk. Random things I enjoy staring at..

Here's a close up of one of the little shelves on my computer desk. These three books have been with me a very long time as a Graphic Designer. The ring was from forever 21 and it doesn't fit so it sits there..not sure why?

So the story on this big old table is I found it at a garage sale for $40 dollars and I painted the legs white. In case you haven't noticed white is my favorite color. This table fits quite a few so feel free to invite yourself over for some craft/scrapbooking/graphic design fun!! The items you see drilled into the wall are all my rulers I use for graphic design and sewing. Next picture shows a close up of what's below the rulers.

Below that is two sets of IKEA magnetic canisters that are suppose to be for kitchen spices, but as you can see I don't follow rules well. The Magazine rack was a garage sale find for 3 dollars and is also IKEA.

Straight ahead is what is shelve that was suppose to be for hanging a blanket, but I've decided it works so much better for organizing punches. I can easily slide punches off and on the provided space.

Here's a close up the orgainization of the punches.

Here's a close up a little bookcase my Mom bought me for $5 dollars and of course I painted it white. Works perfect for orgainzing stamps and is reachable to my 3 year old daughter who uses them often.

Love this little drawer thing. I bought it at Hobby Lobby about 7 years ago for $20 dollars. Oooops this was new!! Well I guess everything in this room is second hand by like 99% then?

This little drawer thing works perfect for holding my ribbons, pens, pencils, and markers.

I bought the chair for 3 dollars and then took it all apart painted it, and reupholstered it with beautiful green. It only took me a FULL day of my life. Sigh..not sure if I'll commit to that again.

Another view of the chair.

On top of bookcase the second green light. My basket of wine corks donated to me from freecycle and family, which I use for craft projects with my 3 year old daughter. I have a thing for elephants this one has the right colors for the spot.

On a shelve in the bookcase. I love using tins and tubs from food if it looks cool. Colored pencils in the oatmeal tin and foam stickers in the animal crackers tub.

This is in the opposite corner across from the large table. The circle picture I designed. Take one guess where I found the chair? Yup you got it a garage sale. It was shamefully ugly so I painted it my favorite color white. I still need to sew a cushion for it but for now I wrapped it with fabric. The little bookcase I just built to be the perfect size so when my daughter spins in the chair the chair cannot bang into the glass of the picture.

This the the bookcase that sits to the right of the chair I just showed you. I really enjoy reading. I just don't enjoy trying to find space to fit the books.

Ok more to see in this room believe it or not but it has to wait. Hope you've leave inspired!!
