When we first saw this house we assumed that this guest room used to be smaller and the piece that juts out in the back, as you can see in the picture, was a sun room or closet that was opened up to the make room bigger. The hardwood floors and wall materials change in this part of the room so we only assumed that is what happened. The house was completely redone and renovated before we bought it so we never knew exactly how it used to look. Since it had an odd shape, we decided to make it the office. Our L-shaped desk fit perfect in the back part of the room and eventually we want to put a love seat sleeper in the bigger part for extra sleeping space for guests. Our bathrooms are pretty small since the house is an older one, and since Shayne takes just as long as me to get ready, we're constantly bumping heads and taking turns in the bathroom while getting ready for work in the morning. That's why I've opted to stick an old desk in the office - in the larger part of the room - and turn it into a vanity to set up all my makeup and jewelry. You can see the process of the vanity and simple office organization below. And for anyone who needs help organizing anything I recommend the Container Store with a warning that you won't leave empty handed! I'm not showing the FULL office because it's still making it's way around but as soon as it's complete, you will see the finished product!
Storage boxes with labels - which I printed my own titles on - are perfect for anything you don't want to lay out or have cluttered all over your desk!
Take an old tin, or taller container you're not using and use it to store rolls of wrapping paper. These are leftover from my older sister's wedding centerpieces!
A vintage milk glass basket (given to me by grandmother, with the other piece you've seen here) can hold odds and ends like scissors, paperclips and ribbon.
Alphabetize and organize your filing cabinet with multicolored folders!
