Last week I started a new job in which I get my very own cubicle! Being me I wanted to decorate it to reflect my style and make it a little more cozy. This weekend I spent a little time crafting and shopping for items that would make my space unique. I found this amazing "salesmans kit" suitcase at a flea market and thought it would make a fantastic desk organizer.
I also wanted to use it as a file folder holder so I found this metal shelf that sits perfectly on top...
With a little help from my Dad we cut out the middle bar using wire cutters and also used an electric grinder to smooth the jagged edges. I removed the legs and simply placed the shelf on top of the case to create a divider. And here you have it, my new desk organizer!
Not wanting to be wasteful I also used the legs from the shelf as a pin board of sorts...
I wrapped the "legs" in yarn and used some adorable mini wooden clothespins to hang my inspirational phrases which can be found on Pinterest. You can also find the tutorial for my DIY mousepad here. I traced a picture frame for my template.
Last but not least I made a bulletin board to compliment my decor...
and that my friends is how you turn your work space from boring to beautiful!
