(The beginning of a hand-painted monogram for one of my walls)
My work office is tiny, and when I took my first look at it I knew that I wanted it to feel cozy and inviting - but also be organized and functional. I've been known to lose sight of functional for fear that it wouldn't be cute. Over the years of setting up many dorm rooms and organizing my home and previous work office, I like to think I've perfected the "functional-meets-fun" set-up. Here are a few photos of my office and some DIYs I did to give it some personality!

(I picked up these containers last year in the dollar section at Target. And for my office, I like consistency when it comes to picture frames - all black.)
(A cute sign I made for my door - all supplies purchased at Wal-Mart!)
(I repurposed my old Lilly agenda pages into this cute banner for my bulletin board.)
(Finally decided on these two designs for my blank canvases. I forgot how therapeutic painting can be!)
(I also made two smaller banners for the door and trimmed the windows with polka dot grosgrain ribbon.)
(My hand-painted monograms that are now hanging on either side of my grad school diploma.)

Sometimes you just have to make time for things you enjoy - like an entire weekend of crafting! :) Keep up with what I'm up to on instagram!

You have been in the office for like 2 weeks and it looks WORLDS better then the one I've been in for 2 years! I love how you re-purposed the agenda pages to make that cute banner. Such a creative idea. Hope the new job is going well!
