Suddenly working from home?? I don't think you are alone.....

Times they are changing - and possibly for good. So many people are now having to work from home - which means either utilizing the home office you already may have in your house - or scurrying around trying to find a quiet space to call your own - where you can feel productive and have all the necessities you need to get through the work day....

I have been working out of our home office for 26 years now - so my space is pretty functional for what I need out of it. But if you don't have a spare room that you can all of a sudden whip into a home office - I thought I would share some ideas with you on how to create a work area that is not only functional - but looks really nice and will blend in nicely in your home.

Pictured below - this has got to be the easiest - quickest (and cutest) way to add a desktop to your space. I have even seen some people lay an old door down over either saw horses or little file cabinets. That - however, may require a piece of glass over it so that you create a smooth working surface.

The shelving above the first desk - so cute - so easy to put up (well - for my husband - not me)...of course your shelving will have your books - papers - anything work related up there (maybe toss in a few picture frames and a candle).

Most important of all in your office space will be a mug warmer for your hot beverages!!! This little daisy warmer below is only $9.99 at Urban Outfitters!!!

Lets try to keep your office space as bright and cheery as possible... You all know how much I love good home decor bargains - and Dollar Tree has the cutest items ( as well as some must-haves) that would be so functional in your home office space. The little totes with the handles would be so helpful in storing paperwork - books etc. They can sit under your desk or in a corner. The next set of four bins would hold all sorts of paperwork - filing -to-be done - etc. WHO wouldn't want these adorable paper clips - ahhhhhhh they speak for themselves....
