Organize Challenge Day 2

I have been dreading this challenge. Mostly embarrassed of posting the before photo. The computer desk is Brad's space. So I am trying to let things go and let him be messy in one spot. I can't take it any longer! Something has to be done. First of all....the desk is a mess, super unorganized, and so plain. There is nothing on the wall, no shelves, no nothing. My sister in law is borrowing my couches while she is going to live in Oak Harbor for a few months, so it will be perfect timing to get our den decorated the way I want to. I hope to get the hardwood floors sanded, a huge project I know, but I am hoping it will be worth it. I would like to paint an accent wall, hang up photos, shelves, a guitar holder so Brad's guitar can be displayed. I would also like to paint the desk dark brown and maybe put a monogram on it to make it look fancy. For now I'll just organize it and get to the other stuff a little later, when I have more time.

Okay.....Here is the before photo of the desk. This is where the printer is. The printer does not work so I'm not sure why we even have it still. I need to get a new one. The storage boxes underneath hold cords for all of our electronics and makes them easier to find. This system is working great, but I think I would like to label the cords so that I know exactly what they go to.

Tonight I'll work on getting the after done and post photos when I complete the task....wish me luck.

Update as of March 8, 2011. I still haven't completed this project. I need shelving, storage and some paint to make this desk pop! Stay tuned. I'll get this project done soon!
