Yes! I FEEL it to my core haha, there are so many things I wanna do with our house but I might as well start with what I can do right now for little to no money!
Oy - yeah, got that feeling, walk in, look around, feeling overwhelmed, walk out and think "I'll do it another day." LOL! Sugget removable shelves needed in that closet where you stashed your thrifted items. When you convert it back to a guest room, you can remove the shelves or modify to make a hanging space for guest clothing but keep the shelves for other things. It is a huge transformation, it looks livable and comfortable now, somewhere you can work or relax in the comfy looking wing chair to read for a while without being driven to distraction. Clutter and mess are usually distracting to most everybody, and trying to work in such a space would be - difficult, at best. Congratulations, it looks great!
Haha oh my goodness totally!! And that’s a great idea! I would LOVE some shelves in there for my thrifted stash but I honestly just didn’t wanna spend the money on them yet 🤣. But you are so right that’s exactly what it needs. And thank you so much, it really is a great place to work now, and I feel like I can get so much focus work done in there now so thank you! And I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🥰
Oh my goodness YES! I love the way you worded that because that’s exactly how it feels! Like I gained control back over this room! 👏🏼 and I’m so glad you enjoyed coming along with me for it!
Oh, absolutely!, micro cleaning/ organizing efforts! It all adds up. And there is so much psychology involved in what and why we keep things. You’re doing well!
Thank you! I actually had a friend say she thinks she has the same one that she had gotten from pier 1? Ours came with our desk when we bought it on FB market. But either way it definitely came in handy because organizing our papers was something I had been putting off for a long time and so I’m so much happier now that they are organized.
New sub! We’re in a transition stage with our office too. It’s not very efficient right now, but it’s at least a space to work. Hoping to do a complete reset of our office in the next couple of months. 🤞🏻 Your doggie is so sweet too! I used to have a black lab growing up. They’re the best dogs ❤
Aww yay! Thank you so much for being here! ❤️ I totally understand that pain, and hopefully you will be able to enjoy your reset office super soon! I totally believe in the power of making the best use of what you already have, so I know you can do it! And thanks, Mr. Rambo here can be quite rambunctious sometimes but most of the time he’s a total sweetheart and the best makeover companion ❤️
Thank you! And no I actually havnt! They are on the small side, but I’m not sure where I would put them if they were together! What did you have in mind? I’m open to options!
Oh like a backdrop for the desk?! That would be really pretty! I’m just not sure where we would put the other piece of furniture we have and are using for the printer and storage if we were to do that. But I do really love that idea! Now you got me brainstorming haha
Oh wow! I hadn't thought of that! I'm actually still looking for a solution for that lamp, but I wound up swapping lamps and using the same shade on a larger one for that home office makeover so I will have to look for a new shade now haha.
Great job! Thanks for the motivation. I plan to start my office this week.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this video and it gave you some motivation and encouragement to tackle your own office! That’s exciting! ☺️
“Do what you can, with what you have!!!”👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 that quote thoooooo

Awesome job. Been putting our office area on the back burner for months lol. Really needed this motivation.
Oh I’m so glad Georgie! Trust me… you saw ours before 🤣, we’d been putting it off for FAARR too long too, you got this! ❤️
Wow! The final looks great, there's nothing better than taking back a space and gaining control over a much needed room.
Oh my goodness YES! I love the way you worded that because that’s exactly how it feels! Like I gained control back over this room! 👏🏼 and I’m so glad you enjoyed coming along with me for it!
This is fabulous, Brooke. 😀
Very refreshing for you to work in an organised space. 🥰
Thank you Carolyn! ❤️ I can’t tell you how much better it feels in there! As you saw…. It was pretty bad before 😅
Oh, absolutely!, micro cleaning/ organizing efforts! It all adds up. And there is so much psychology involved in what and why we keep things. You’re doing well!
Aww thank you so much! That room was definitely one of our biggest pain points so it felt sooooo good to finally go through it!
Thanks for sharing.
You’re so welcome Mehri! I’m glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
That wicker file box is awesome. Going through papers is a very time consuming process. No fun! This will really be so functional now.

Nice job!
By any chance did you consider putting the bookcases flush, side by side?
Thank you! And no I actually havnt! They are on the small side, but I’m not sure where I would put them if they were together! What did you have in mind? I’m open to options!
@@brookesimplybliving where your desk is!😊
Oh like a backdrop for the desk?! That would be really pretty! I’m just not sure where we would put the other piece of furniture we have and are using for the printer and storage if we were to do that. But I do really love that idea! Now you got me brainstorming haha
@@brookesimplybliving Fun to think outside of the box!
You are so right!
You are so cute, awesome video!
Aww thank you Faith! ☺️ I’m really glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
Ok….the jug lamp. What if you took the lamp shade that is on it but cut about the bottom third off?
Oh wow! I hadn't thought of that! I'm actually still looking for a solution for that lamp, but I wound up swapping lamps and using the same shade on a larger one for that home office makeover so I will have to look for a new shade now haha.
