Office Makeover

I made over my moms cubicle/office. It was really boring and depressing before but we brought in a few things that completely changed the look of her office from depressing to a place that is comfortable and you want to be. You can see the few things we got for organization and to bring in some color.

1.) Letter Tray. Ikea. $7.99
2.) Rug. Ikea. $19.99
3.) Set of 3 Vases. Ikea. $12.99
4.) Plant Pot. Unknown. $2.99
5.) Scrapbook Paper Pack. Joann's. $14.99
6.) Flowers. Ikea. $1.99
7.) Clear Push Pins. Target. $2.99
8.) 2 Side Picture Frame. Ikea. 0.99¢
9.) Set of 2 Magazine File. Ikea. $9.99

Here are the before pictures:
Here are the after pictures:







The first thing I did was pick a pattern and the sheets of the scrap booking paper I was going to use. Then put them into the wall with the push pins on the whole wall. The organization trays and things are a great way to keep everything organized and looking neat. The magazine holders are great for magazines or folders. The plant holders are a great decorative alternative for holding office supplies like pens etc... These picture frames from Ikea are great because they stand up on their own and have 2 sides. Also they were really cheap. The before picture shows the floor before the rug. It had a huge metal electrical panel and this rug covers it up perfectly and also was really cheap. The rug is not very durable, but was perfect for this project. Also the bamboo is a perfect plant for the office because it is a low maintenance plant. Hope you like it and find inspiration from this.
