Putting Up My Home Office – Week 02

This week was to clean, make some decisions and take some action…

( X ) Cleaning 

( ? ) Walls

( X ) Furniture

(  ) Decoration

(  ) Ready, Set, Go

I started cleaning and, although it is a small space, it’s the basement, and it was barely being used, even as a storage room. The walls and ceiling were getting naturally prepared for Halloween! It wasn’t that bad and the deep cleaning took me less than two hours.
I am trying to save money on this, so I’ve been looking for furniture on Craigslist. And after getting no answer from some ads, and giving up a few other, I finally got a desk, a chair and even a side table {all in great condition} for $55! I also got a 6 cube storage shelf + 2 cube bins for $22 from Walmart.
The walls definitely needed some treatment, and my first thought was to use gift wrap as wallpaper. I’ve seen people done this before, and I actually found a very nice guide guide for that. It would be very cool, but it would also go over my budget. Plus, the humidity {from a sort of unfinished basement} would probably mess it up pretty soon… I gave up. {But you can still do it using the guide I am sharing with you!}

Painting the walls the regular way sounded to predictable to me, but that was my option now. And when I was trying to decide the color… a light!

{Oooooohhhhhhh} 

The idea just popped when I was doing the cleaning… “What if I use crayons???” I did not see this online {and when I looked up for a tutorial, I found just one, not helpful video – and many to get the crayon OFF the wall}. It doesn’t hurt to try, not even in my pocket {and now I even know how to remove it! Lol}.
So I went to target, got some boxes of crayons, came home, and got started. Just like that.

I am very excited to share the week 03 already! I’m planning on having everything set by then! Fingers crossed!
