The command center is still in progress, but the cork board and dry erase board were finished today.  The empty frame will soon have some small, shallow wall shelves inside to hold supplies and/or products.  This morning, the cork and dry erase boards were gold inside, but I had a sudden change of mind and made them white lace instead.  Need my girly touches since the walls aren’t pink.  

Still saving for the cowhide, and will probably get more white bins and/or baskets to keep the shelves simple and uncluttered.  Once we can get our hands on a few more wine crates, they will be stacked and turned into movable shelves.  

The second bedroom of our house is only 8 feet wide and 13 feet long. In spite of its size, we still needed it to function as an office/craft room and a guest room that would sleep 2 people. The major projects here were pulling up the carpet and painting the walls light gray and the ceiling blue. Then we found the perfect sofa bed for small spaces and built a wall shelf behind it since there wasn't room for end tables.

The whole transformation cost about $800. The only significant expenses were the new sofa, wall shelves and paint, as we took the rest of the furniture from other parts of the house.
