My Three Offices.... Yes, I have three offices. My home office, my "creative" office (aka my craft & sewing room), and the office where I spend the most time - the one that generates a paycheck.
Unfortunately, the one where I spend the most time is the least cozy and appealing. Organized - but that's not enough - right? I want pretty!
Inspired by a Thrift Shop sweater, I transformed my ho-hum desk to a cozy retreat that I look forward to sitting at all day.



I cut the bottom edge so that I had about 1/2" to turn under. I used a bit of fabric glue to secure it. It still needed a little embellishment, so I added a couple of ribbons and the results were just what I wanted!



Next up.... the paper clip dish. With another Thrift Shop find, some paint pens and a great idea from The Mother Huddle, I glued magnets on the bottom of the little plate, drew a cute design on the plain white dish and my paper clips now have a much cuter home than the unattractive plastic thing.

Before... not bad - just not very cozy. |
Now my ho-hum and 'oh so ordinary' desk has lovely light and pretty accessories. All from a cast off sweater and a few thrifty finds! I couldn't be happier.
