Design Challenge: Home Office Space

Why is it that Allison and I can organize a closet in an afternoon and this home office "thingy" is such a challenge? In an effort to save money and my curtains, I am sticking with the same color scheme as Coop's old  nursery. We are keeping the same bookcase and Serena & Lily brown and cream rug. And even though the major design pieces are in (ie: shiny white parson's desk and white 8 cube cubby storage piece) I am still struggling for how to make it function for an active family.

Here's where I am searching for inspiration:

Lony Office Space - Ikea all the way! Something in here is all ready upstairs!!



I love the mix of modern and transitional!



Mirrors make small spaces seem so much bigger!



Chalkboard Paint would be a great way to do homework at home. . .



Great versatile storage is a must!



This desk just makes me giddy!



Now I have to get back to work!

Cheers,

Tay
