Good Morning Sunshines!
What a fun weekend!
Here I am writing my first post of the year.
Do you remember the sad and dark computer nook where I used to blog from…
well I am happy to say it is GONE!
Let me show you a picture of how it looks now…
Would you say happy and bright ?
I say so!
Well this is the deal.
I have to make a confession in order to share with you my new year resolution…
Confession: I am a mess 
Resolution: I want to get organized 
And my computer area is the first of some projects that hopefully will help me to do so.
I wanted this space to be clean, simple and fresh.
The inspiration was our own little Closet… I love the stripes but I don’t get to see them all the time.
I wanted to incorporate the stripes in this space to bring some texture and boldness to the small area.
Because the stripes were horizontally placed the space looks wider and the neutral colors make it super bright.
My number one goal with this area is to be clutter free… therefore I kept the accessories to the minimal…
The Little White Cuby…
The Drawer Organizer…
The Pin Board…
My Sweet Family Pictures…
…And a little green happiness 
To take care of all the crazy cables, printer and mess down there I purchased this 24″ small shelf at Target.
In the end we went from this…
…To this.
One space done… a few more to go!
See you tomorrow!

I appreciate you linking up to the 1st Project of the Year Party at WhisperWood Cottage! Your computer nook is beautiful! The stripes in the nook and closet are fabulous!! Please add the party button to your post so that you are eligible for prizes and features. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much!
I added the party button to my sidebar days ago but I will add it to my post as well.
Thank you for hosting such a great party!
Once, I discovered my son had 19 singleton socks….19! I went on a hunt and found those suckers ALL OVER the house. Anyway, I LOVE the stripes and your cozy little nook is so soothing and lovely:) I would love for you to link up this weekend!

Hahaha!
19! You give him a hug from me… that must be a record!
Oh boy! I’ll see you over at your party
I love the before picture with the sock under your desk! I find my husband’s socks all over the place!
I’m in the process of planning my own work space. This is great inspiration!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the horizontal stripes!! I would love these exact shades on a wall in my kitchen! Maybe in our next house.

Love the stripes, I just did the same thing this past weekend on my hallway wall and it really does make a huge difference! And I LOVE the mud room closet! What a great idea!
I am a sucker for stripes – love this office!!! And good luck with your organization.
Oh wow. Lovely space!
I’m jealous… I want your computer nook!!! It’s perfect and bright.. and I love it. My computer ”not so nook” is in my very unfinished damp basement.. snif snif

Desiree- I LOVE it. SO pretty and clean lined. You are such an amazing momma to give your space up. Thanks for linking up. XOXOXO
Absolutely beautiful!
Than you so much!
I love it! It’s so clean and inspiring. I’m also in love with stripes but I’m afraid I used up all my stripe allowance on my daughter’s room (http://momvsdesignschool.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-favorite-time-of-day-recent-big.html) and my husband’s bookshelf (http://momvsdesignschool.blogspot.com/2011/12/yellow-stripes-love.html)in our house. Count me as a new follower
I LOVE IT!

This looks so nice and clean! Love the stripes! Although I have to say the sock was keeping it real…you should put it back
Hahaha!
I like that!
This is beautiful! If I didn’t live in a rental I would be painting stripes all over my house : ) Love who bright and happy the space is!
OH MY-LANTA, Desiree!!!! It looks sooooo stinkin’ good! I just love it. I swear I’d never get off the computer if my computer area looked like that! I would just be so happy sitting there all day because the space is so pretty and bright. I love it, love it, love it! Nice work! xoxo
LOVE it Desiree!! I’m working on re-doing my parents basement and we’re going to put VERY similar stripes on an accent wall…I LOVE them!!
Very nice!
I love this! It looks so nice. I am a sucker for the horizontal strips. I really like the structure of it too.
What a happy, gorgeous space. Perfect match for you!
Enjoy =)
3 words for ya-> O! M! G!
I absolutely love it! Great use of space and those stripes! Love it!
Love the wall colors.What brand/color paint did you use?
That looks soooo lovely. I am working on my desk area too, unfortunately, it is still in the before stage…
What a great way to start a new year for your blog! It’s beautiful.
Awesome space! You did a great job. It’s nice and cozy and well organized for your work. Happy New Year!
Gorgeous!!!
It looks great. The stripes add so much and I am totally jealous of all your organization. I really need to work on that.
Laura,
I really want to keep it up. I feel like I spend half of my day looking for things!
Hopefully I do better this year that I did during 2011.
Happy New Year to YOU!
Your new area is bright, light, and happy! I would visit there everyday!!
I am redoing my office space, too. Alas, it will not look as pretty as this.
beautiful. it changes the whole space dramatically. it’s so fresh and bright!
It is SO bright and cheery! I need to make mine over too. Happy 2012!
Now THAT’s inspiring! Love how crisp and light it is… Happy New Year!
I adore the stripes! What a wonderful space you have now. I also am having to get more organized this year due to moving to a much smaller home. We can do it! Thanks for the beautiful ideas.
You bet you can!
Best luck with the your move…♥
It looks awesome! Love the stripes! And I love that you have a section in your drawer organizer for chocolate!
Hahaha!
Every girl needs to take care of her most basic needs
Lovely!!
Thank Y♥U!
Love what you did here. It doesn’t look like a small task either. The angle of the wall and the way that desk is fitted alone must have been difficult! Love the stripes….love the freshness of the space too. Very pretty.:)
Your office area looks beautiful. I love the horizontal stripes and the paint colors. Neat and organized – simply lovely!
Thank You Suzanne… Have a great day my love!
Desiree – That is so light, bright, and gorgeous! I love the stripes – hoping to tackle some stripe painting this year too!
They are so much fun! Go for it!
Hello Desiree,
I love your new space, wow it is clean, simple and fresh.
Happy New Year!
Smiles, Paula
Thank You Paula!
How are you girl? How was your New Year?
Sending you hugs and kisses.
Wow, wow, wow!!! Looks amazing!! I love the colors and how clean it looks. I just made myself a craft area and it feels so good to have everything organized and most importantly…pretty! Great job!
