{trendy thursday: diy home office}

This week's trends are all focusing on how to decorate your Home Office with recycled/D.I.Y items. I don't have a home office/studio of my own yet ... but I hope to have one within the year. Here are some things I've noted and want to do for myself in the future. Enjoy!

1. D.I.Y. Desks:
Makes a bold statement to refurbish a vintage desk. Add some new pulls or paint, but make sure to keep it's vintage feel. Sometimes a little rust gives it just enough personality.

2. Alternative Storage:
These alternative sources of storage are not only cute, but very affordable and will add a great statement to any drab office. The bigger the better when It comes to these pieces..after all...who doesn't need more storage?

3. Stenciled Walls/Floors:
I am obsessed with this look right now. Maybe it stems from always wanting to write on my walls when I was younger, but stenciling really gives an urban edge to any space. Use a fun pattern to spice up an ugly cement wall or tacky floor. It's an affordable way to add instant ooh and awe to your space.

5. Vintage Land Line:
While your cellphone may be your main squeeze, think of investing in a land line to accept business calls on..It will keep you in your office, and not out gallivanting when you should be working!

6. Office Accessories
All of these items were thrifted and enhanced with paint, upholstery, or a new typewriting ribbon (except for the Jeremy Fish picture). Don't be afraid to take on big challenges when it comes to accessorizing your office...big challenges done right, will become big successes!
