FFF: The Office/Cubicle

What was before a terribly boring space:
 Is now transformed!
Office Renovation costs (starting Left to Right)
Fake palm plant: $20 (Burlington)
Pink fabric catch-all bin: $6 (Target)
Small message center/white board: $5 (Target)
Paper topped cork boards (4pk of 12x12): $6 (Target)
Plastic wall clock: $3 (Target)
Fellows Waterfall file: $15 (work paid for-Staples)

Not too darn shabby for a room I spend 40+ hours a week in!

This wall is just so nice to look at now
The artwork displayed in small black frames is museum postcards I’ve collected in my travels. The pictures I had printed at home. All scrapbook papers for the flag garland, the cork boards, the pencil cup, and the coaster were from my stash (along with modge podge, bias tape and thread). The office supplied standard things like the tabletop vertical file and folders, the computer, the phone, the printer, notepads, pens, Kleenex, etc.
Overall, I’m SUPER happy with this renovation. I felt like the space before didn’t even look like an FTE worked here, let alone someone with personality. Now the space genuinely reflects who I am and what makes me happy. It even sparked my officemate's interest in cleaning up and reorganizing her own space! I’d say that's a job well done for the both of us.
