What is a cloffice you ask? Well... our entry-way closet and our office had a baby and my husband named him "Cloffice". As I've mentioned, our office/craft room has been taken over by our soon to be baby #2 (only 5 wks, yay!) so, I had to have a place for my computer desk and office stuff. Bryan really helped out as usual and did a ton of work! There is actually a lot of storage for my pictures, computer programs and all of our office supplies. I love my little cloffice!
Features:
-Full desk
-2 storage shelves
-overhead lighting
-plug (Bryan had to add an electrical outlet)
- curtain (to hide the tower, printer and wires)
-blue walls
-hanging storage on left wall
How we did it:
-we painted the whole thing first
-Bryan took measurements for the desk and shelves
-desk is the total width and depth and shelves are half as deep
-we used oil based white for the shelves and desktop
-installed desk, shelves and hung light
-sewed a simple curtain and hung it with a tension rod and clips
Do you love it as much as I do?
This is such a cute idea! I wouldn't have even thought to do that. I looks great!
ReplyDeleteI really LOVE this!!! I've been thinking of doing something like this in our foyer closet! I thought it would be a great place for the kiddos to do homework so i could watch them and keep them off MY computer!!! Thanks for sharing!
