When She Breathes: A New Desk!

I have been a little absent from the blog these days. What can I say? Life has been running us wild and time to sit and write has not been as frequent. What has kept us so busy you ask? Well, I have been doing a few home projects. I love a good project and for some reason they are so therapeutic to me. I count myself lucky to have a husband who doesn't mind me wanting to change the paint colors in a room or build a desk in a closet. He is pretty wonderful at letting me just go for it! And in the project I am sharing today, he even jumped in and helped!

The reason behind this project was that I am going to be doing a little work from home starting this month and so I needed a place to where I could do just that. Tyler has a "home office" but if we are being honest, that room is much more like a man cave than an office. So there wasn't any room for me there! And since I hate clutter I really didn't want to set up anything up in the guest room. That's when I found the perfect idea on Pinterest-- a desk in the closet! It works perfectly because I really don't need that much space and I can close the door and the clutter is hidden! Ahh... hidden clutter... it's a beautiful thing.

Here are a few pictures.... I must say, my amazing husband is responsible for constructing the desk. If I ever said he wasn't handy, well, I was wrong! At first I thought I would paint the closet and while that would have been great, I had a second thought. I used fabric to cover a project board and measured it to fit perfectly in the space between the desk and the top shelf. It works great to post notes on and in case I want to change the look, its super easy to take it down and switch up the fabric!
