Thrifty Monday & Transformed Tuesday!

Hey everybody! My little project is just some cheap melamine doors my stepdad found in the dumpster! They look like they were from a kid size cabinet. He thought I might be able to do something with them. I had these cork squares that I got from a yard sale for 25 cents. The doors were already white and I thought I would just stick the cork inside the frame on the front of the door. I used some ribbon to hang them by the doorknobs. Easy peasy!


I just covered the seams with how I put the stuff on the cork board. Now I have a place to put my inspiration photos near where I sit to do my blogging - which is at one end of our sunroom.

Here's some more bargains from my home office area:


I love the framed art from Kirkland's that I got at a yard sale for $2!!! It still had the $69 price tag on the back!!! Birdhouse on a stand and metal bucket are both from yard sales, too! The cloth napkin is another bargain from Pier 1!

I'm joining my favorite Mr. Linky parties:
Met Monday - Between Naps on the Porch
Today's Thrifty Treasures - Southern Hospitality
and Trash to Treasure Tuesday - Reinvented!

I love seeing what everyone has come up with this week! Please head on over and check them all out!

Keep it Bright & Cheery!

Lately I have been thinking about what I can do to finish up our home office area. One end of our sunroom is set up as our office/craft area. I have a wishlist already of what I need to make it just right. I love white! I think it is just so bright and cheery! I am on the search for another desk that I can fix up! Or maybe I might just make one out of an old door!

Cute idea for storage of craft supplies! I am always looking for cool ways to store supplies! I came across an idea for making a phone charger station out of a minnow bucket! Cute huh?!

Great idea! Use an old toolbox as a desk organizer!

Two examples of bright & cheery home offices from blogland:

Cheryl at TidyMom posted about her recent project. She did an amazing job in her home office! Lots of paint and some de-cluttering and she has a beautiful fresh new room. You can see more photos and read all about it here, including some trash to treasure transformations with some of the accessories.

Over at Just Beachy, Chris Kaufman showed off her built-in kitchen computer nook created from an old hutch and buffet! Wow! Hard to believe looking at it now! I love all the details on this! See more images here.

As for me, I am still hoping to come across one of these office chairs at a yard sale:

Pottery Barn

I don't hold out much hope! They are so pretty, though! And I am still trying to figure out a second desk option. Time to hit the yard sales again and keep searching! That's my plan for tomorrow anyway!

Have a great weekend!
