There are so many different types of sofa tables out there! We needed a table that was really thin because we didn't want to block the door way or make the space feel smaller.

This table is 8" wide. We decided against the bottom shelf because it would've taken up floor space, and we use that area for shoes. Not to mention have you ever seen an 8" basket?

The cost is the best part. We used (3) 8"x 12' and (4) 1"x 4" - Total cost -  less than $50! 

I had a previous space for my office, but I felt cramped and uninspired. So I gathered a few pieces of furniture and decided to make a new space.

I've had the yellow hutch my entire life and before that it was my mother's when she was a little girl, so I knew I needed to find new life for it. And the desk I picked up from a garage sale. The desk is laminate wood and It had those infamous water bubbles, which didn't make a good working surface. I painted it this color previously to go in this room, but it was missing something.. AND now its beautiful! I love spending my time here, which makes me more productive! 

This entire project cost about $30! 


The Hutch - I decided to paint the entire inside white and instead of using a solid white I really wanted a slightly off-white creamy color. I used American Decor Chalk Paint from Home Depot. I mixed Lace and Everlasting together to get the perfect color. I like chalk paint because it really does stick to anything! And because this piece was old, It was so hard to sand, I did sand it a good bit to rough it up. Because I already painted the desk I need a perfectly matching color. So, I used the chalk paint as a base, and then painted a Behr flat paint onto of that to match the desk.  

The Chair - I got the chair from Target, for $60! most of the chairs I found were at least $100, it is really worth stalking the internet to find the best deal..
