Basement Office Project

As most of you know we moved into a new (for us) house recently. Well, with unpacking and getting things rolling, I have not had much time to write posts! I am getting back on top of things, and the boxes are dwindling, so I thought I'd share a few photos of my new basement office, which is turning out better than expected!!



Don't mind the furry friends with demon eyes!

 Now, keep in mind there will be a sleeper sofa in between those end tables in place of the dog at some point in the (hopefully) near future. And, keep in mind this is a work in progress, but I couldn't help but share it!

Here's a little before shot for you...

This is actually a double before/after. Not only did I make over this corner of the basement, I made over a $5 yard sale find!

This was used to display cigarettes in retail stores looooong ago!

I found this shelving unit at a yard sale for $5. Can you believe it?!?!?! The thrifiting gods were looking down on me that day! I actually got really lucky and the guy even delivered it for me! For free! Can't beat that deal! I cleaned it up really good, and used a scraper to get the stickers off. It's laminated, but I figured for $5 plus a few $.94 cans of black spray paint from Wal-mart, we might as well just see what we can get. And, TA-DA! Success!

A little sneak peek at my new sewing area...



$20 Craigslist table and the guy threw the black nightstand in for free since he was clearing out a storage unit and moving out of town! Score! Ikea rails with hooks and buckets and the black shelf is from Lowes. I know the pictures are dark and bad quality since I took them with my phone, but when I get it all set up, I'll work on better lighting (this is a basement after all) and take some great pictures!

For now, I hope you enjoy my before and afters this week!
