Not Finished!

I not yet finished with my home office, but I have made some progress.  The piles of paper have been, tamed down.  And I'm ready to start filling in the drawers in my crafts desk.  The kids will have a desk in their rooms for their homework area.  But they will be allowed to use the crafts desk, with one condition.  That they clean after they are done with their projects.

I will limit for now the activities.  Mainly scrapbooking and gift wrapping.  I had been thinking of merging my sewing area with the craft area.  But I do not have enough storage space for everything.  So I will keep the sewing stuff upstairs.

Here are the before pictures:

Quite a mess, and the problem is that is an open space.  Meant to be a dinning room.  But I'm not sure why the person who did the house plans decided to place it in between the kitchen and bathroom.  I will had prefer it to be after the living room area.  That's why, I decided to make this into my office instead.

Now for the after pictures.  Remember, I'm not done yet!

 Above the pantry I have three boxes, one has all kinds of cards and momentos that I will like to use in my scrapbook album.  The one in the middle has all the greeting cards.  And the last box has clippings of  Catholic icons, that I will use for the Faith Formation class (CCD).

I moved the big magnetic calendar, and added another dry erase board.

On the desk:

A start in organizing, all the craft supplies.  You see the day calendar.  I bought this at Target.  I added contact paper to make it more stylish.   

I still have work to do.  But I know have pretty much categorized all the keep items.  I have to re-do my incoming mail and files.  But I will work on that next week.  I will have one file box for Faith Formation Class, one for Tupperware business, and one for all the other files.  File cabinet has husband's papers, and all the important files, financial papers, etc.

Tomorrow I will show you the pictures for the complete project and Daughter's room.
Today, working to finish office, and daughters room.
Tomorrow, the laundry room and bathroom.
Saturday, is party day.
