Before and After: Holly’s Amazing Closet Office Makeover

by on Sep 13, 2011

Holly of the Almost 40 Year Old Intern writes, ” I am in the midst of a career change, going from being a movie marketing execto starting over as an interior design intern at 39.” So, friends, you better believe Holly needs herself a fine home office. But, as a city dweller in Los Angeles, spare bedrooms or designated workspaces aren’t always just available for the taking, so she got creative, and built and amazing office in her closet. It’s not big, but it’s so lively that no one would mind spending the day in there.   created at: 09/13/2011

“A gallon of behr white paint/primer really did the trick of covering all that pink… some groovy brass nail heads from home depot and silver vinyl from my local fabric store worked perfectly to cover the top of the built in dresser (it was not so cute before as it has been painted over a million times by past tenants).  also, i cut and hemmed a dwell for target tablecloth and attached it with brass nail heads in order to hide the shelves holding plastic bins and computer wires and equipment.” [sic]

A closet turned into a home office.
