office redo

My home office was in need of a serious remodel.  I spend alot of time in here for work and pleasure. My real job allows me the opporunity to work from home 2 days a week and this is where i do all my blogging. 

This room always seems to be a catch-all, including my exercise bike that I keep meaning to use more often.  Thats another post in the future. I'm trying to organize and decorate so that when I spend hours at a time in here, I feel movtivated and inspired.

Here's a look at the mess before I started.

The books shelf above was made for me years ago by my Dad.  It has been in so many rooms with different functions that it is a keeper. 

I'll start with that makeover first.  I took the bookshelf and turned in on this side horizonally to use as a hutch on my desk.  I added some scrapbook paper to the inside just for some color with thumbtacks.  I didn't want to make any permanent changes to the bookshelf because I may change my mind in the future.

The hutch works perfect, every thing is at my finger tips while I'm working.
