My New Office Space

We're clearing out the second bedroom little by little. And my desk is one of the items that will be moving out. I usually work from the dining room table or the couch anyway, and the extra space is much needed.

But my concern was: where would my office supplies, portfolio materials, and other resources go?

The answer: The items I don't use all the time are in the process of being boxed up and will head to our storage space in the basement of our condo building (which also needs to be cleaned out a bit!). For the stuff I need on a regular basis, I've added some of it to the small 4-shelf stand under the printer, and the rest is now organized in two lidded baskets in a corner of our dining room.

Yes, it's an unconventional arrangement, but considering the size of our place, it's also necessary. Here's a peek at my new "office" space in the dining room. (My mom found these baskets at T.J. Maxx for $14.99 and $16.99—great deal!)

Here's a look at the printer stand, which will remain in the corner of the second bedroom:
