Office in a closet - our version

Last summer, we decided that our second baby should take the small bedroom, therefore pushing our office to ... the closet? I found some great photos of office in closets that showed me this was doable solution for a small house, like ours.

Of course, we had intended to get this done a long time ago but life gets in the way and on a recent day off -- that's what I call Mondays when my mom has Wesley and I can run ALL my errands -- I went to the Container Store and had an office in a closet designed using their Elfa system. I wanted something that could transition to a kids closet in about 3 years, so I didn't buy anything "extra."

This system of wire shelving and solid pieces cost around $250. Elfa can be pricey, but we liked it's versatility and the fact that we can add drawers and extras to this when we are ready to convert to a real clothes closet. Sitting here right now typing, all I can say is ... I love it!

Great idea. After reading this, I think I'm going to write an article on "offices in closets" for my blog La Minute Déco.
Thanks for the inspiration.
