Do you need a working area and feel like you don’t have any space for it? You don’t have to have a room to create an office space in your home. Today I’m going to show you how to turn a small area into a perfect organized working space for your computer. This can be a place to do homework, pay bills and even blog. I created this small office right in our Master Bedroom. I am loving it and I use it all the time especially at night.

I want to show you how small this space really is so you can see that you can really do something like this in a very tiny area. 

This wall is just 3 and a half feet wide and it went from this…

Desk and Storage

When you have such a small space you may want to look for a desk that has plenty of drawers.

The first thing I did was to give my little red desk a makeover… you can click here to see how it used to look.

I painted the entire desk yellow and then I decided to bring the wood top back.

 I left the inside of the drawers red and I added a little chevron wrapping paper to the bottom of it.

Little things like this can bring a bit of sunshine to your work day!

 There I stored my most basic supplies such as pencils, stapler, sticky notes, and chocolate.

Another great addition to a small working area is a cubby.

They are perfect to hold mail and those items that you use often.

I spray painted mine and I think it is adorable!

Get Creative!

Because this is an open area I wanted to be not just functional but cute. So instead of using a regular pin board I came up with the idea of using an old window as a bulletin board. I love the look and it took me like 20 minutes to do it.

This is such a quick project. I first spray painted the window, the color is Valspar Flat Caramel Honey.

Then I screwed the small hooks in the corners of the window and I used wire to create a place to hang things from.

You can find all these items over at Lowe’s… I love that store!
