Thinking outside the box.

I recently jumped on the Elfa sale in February and then the following work smart office sale this month at The Container Store.  I turned my new nook-of an-office into a functional space. It's not Home & Garden but it works for me!. I use the vertical space to fit A LOT of stuff but it's organized and functional for me.  If you knew my home office before I moved you know I had a lot of space, half a guest room and 90% of a walk in-closet to be exact. But with our move to DC, the room that I work out of also serves as a den/family room with futon and tv, my office and library, the cats' lair (complete with litter box, cat condo, and cat bed/house along with their food), and our coat closet.  And to make matters more interesting this room is about half the size of the my former office space and as noted it serves about 3 more functions.  Therefore, I'm so grateful for the vertical space and my organizing agility to get this space to function efficiently. We've only been at our new residence about a month and a half so I'm proud that I was able to eke this work space out with sure tweaks as time goes on. And thank goodness for the sales at The Container Store, they were right on time! But what if you have a small space for two people to work with?  You can get into MacGyver-meets-HGTV mode and with a bookshelf, a flat surface desk, two chairs and organizing accessories you can create THIS: A functional work space for two! What about you? Do you have a space challenge? I'd love to hear about it! Reply to this email and ask me and perhaps in our next Ezine I'll answer your question!
