Awww you rubbed you sweet baby bump through the video ! Can't wait to see what the next baby is !! So happy for your family ! I'm headed for that desk ! Love it !
That's incredible! Who knew what a huge difference it made by switching to white furniture? Everything looks clean and calm. Exactly what's needed for an office. Gotta love Ikea!
Isn't it amazing how much color, or lack of, has on our mind/mood? It looked like a different room and SO much brighter! I like it! Makes me want to re-do something...
Kathryn, this is a great idea to reorganize your office. The look is effective and bright. Also you are looking FANTASTIC with the 'baby bump'. I cant get enough of your ideas for reorganizing your home, in ways that is uplifting and bright and that is on a budget. Well done.Blessings to you and the family this year.
This is AMAZING! I am starting to redo my entire house, one room at a time. The first room I am tackling is the guest room/office/den. I can't STAND the room anymore. It's just a big clutter of mismatched furniture from years of not throwing things away and I want to do a total makeover. My husband can't stand the idea of spending money to change things when what we've got is practical and works. So I told him I'd do it all myself. I've been searching online for DIY stuff and found this clip about your office. The Ikea shelves are simply PERFECT! I don't have the floor space for what I'm planning, but they sell them in 4's instead of 8's and I can hang them on the wall! (I hope.) So, thank you VERY much! (Best part is they have them in an array of colors, including red which is perfect.) Thank you sooo much!
I love that you showed the before. Sometime when we watch you (general "tubers"), we imagine all of you life if already out together. I appreciate that you showed the darkness and the easy ways in which you lightened up. I'm working "lightening up" my lifestyle in general. Less stuff seems to be more peace, no?
+Amy Johnson Exactly! Use, too! Oh yes, I will always share the imperfections of my life with you guys. If it had a perfect house all the time it would mean I had no fun ;) ;)
My beauty room/home office furniture pieces are all white too! IKEA is such an amazing place for office furniture! Everything is so organized and gorgeous!
There's so much about this I totally love! How nice to have a designated office space that has you all set up for what you need to accomplish in a day. Great job!
I just love, love your video and you. You calm me when I'm just overwhelmed with my need space. I just moved in so I don't have a lot of things. So I want to use this new space in a productive way. Don't want to clutter any space. Thank you for all your tips.
Congratulations! Praying for a healthy baby! Thank You in the office tips we will be going to IKEA pretty soon so I glad you created this video super helpful!
SO this is the first video i am seeing from you and i must say that i absolutely love what you have done with the room .... you just gave me so many great ideas and best of all ... its affordable!!!
We barely are gonna get an IKEA in Las Vegas I'm so looking forward to it ... Love your video you're a total inspiration ... You and Charlie are adorable together
I love this! My office is always a work in progress but now that Im starting a new graduate program, starting a blog and super building my tpt store I need it to function way better. I got two ginormous kallax shelves second hand and it stores so much. Now if I could only get mu husband to build my second one. Hope my office looks as nice as yours.
Looks amazing! Much brighter and less cluttered looking! I am a sucker from the cube shelves from Ikea! Your baby bump is coming along and soooo cute :D
Thanks for sharing your Ideas, I just moved and look at them for inspiration. The mobile boxes, and other sturdy boxes from all sorts of products like fancy chocolates are great for my sewing supplies. Make up organizers and those inexpensive make up pretty boxes that are covered with imitation leather and when you open them they open several levels, I use it as my sewing box, easy to carry around the house and I have everything at hand in my table when I am sewing without making a mess. When I stop, I just close it, so it looks tidy. Share more ideas for small places. Thanks!
Looks really nice! Hubby and I use to share an office in our old house. Now we each have our own office in our new house. I kinda miss sharing an office, I use "kinda" loosely!
I love your video! I am such a fan of these ikea book cases I could have them in every room. Thanks for your ideas for dealing with cords. I hate them, too.
Oh my gosh! My husband and I just went to Ikea for the first time and I LOVE that store! Such a good video! We are going to be doing our office/guest room soon so I've got some good ideas!
I don't know how I missed this video!! I was searching for home office and you popped up :) YAY!! Ahhh LOVE how Nikki's mom bought you the little planter. Another one of my favorite UA-camrs!!!!! What a great idea on the books turning around
It never has occurred to me to turn the magazine holders backwards! What a good idea. I only have about 10 years worth of multiple quilting magazines that I really need to pass on. I don't have them at the top of the to do list.
+Kindercrafty Me too! I think that's why they sell food on the way out as well as the restaurant, as you are so hungry cos you've been in there all day! :D
Love it!! This is exactly what I need for my bdoffice.. (bedroom office :)). I have a small ranch and work at home full time. I've been reducing and de-stashing to get to this point. I love your channel and your ideas. Thank you!!
Great makeover, so light and fresh! I too turn my books around in our living room for the very same reasons, colored spines drive me crazy! Loving the bump girl :)
Great video. One of my goals this year is to create an office space in my apartment and these budget options are going to be very helpful. Thank you! It looks great by the way.
I love the way the office looks now I really like the lighter colors in there it looks so light and airy. I can't wait to hear what the baby is on Wed. I'm so excited for you all. Happy New Year !!! :)
Love, love, love your new office and organization! Looks amazing! We are moving into our new home in a few weeks and I am so excited to be able to organize a whole house, although, the thought is a little daunting. And I think you are so cute, touching your belly all the time. Makes me really miss being pregnant. I wish you all the best and am so excited for you and Charlie to find out the gender on Wednesday!
Your office looks great! Your wall color looks similar to the color of my craft room and I even have two of those IKEA shelving units in there. One on its side. And one standing up in the closet. They work great! I just love Ikea and could spend hours in there! I don't go to often because of where it is located here. Not in a good neighborhood and I hate the drive.
LOVE IT!! White is so great :) I just bought new white furniture for my work office & plan to re-do soon!! Thanks for sharing, I see a few ideas I know I can use :)
Looks super spiffy. I love the outcome. I thought the girly folders on your husbands desk were hilarious! But is sure he doesn't care. lol I think that keeping he filing cabinet in there was a nice touch. Have you thought about covering with adhesive shelf liner? A friend of mine did hers like that, and it came out fabulous! It was half that size, but it added such a glamorous touch to her home office.
LOL It I funny how you just done this to your office and post a video. I am in the process as we speak to do mine as well. A lot of great tips you have given that I will be using. Thanks for sharing
+Our Family Home Life It is so amazing. Seriously. It takes a while to put the system into place, but if you do it as they recommend, it WORKS so well.
Love the look of the new office and it was lovely showing the before and after and steps to get to your end goal. Btw you are looking wonderful and happy New Year from England. xxx
I was hoping you painted all your furniture and repurposed stuff- I have a ton of storage that just needs an overhaul! Paint and "help" updates and such- heading out and buying anything more at this time is not in my budget. I'm not a hoarder but I do have tons of stuff! And things that could be painted to lighted. To the dark- I would totally like to do this in my dining room!! I smell a room overhaul that we should share in the new year and post pics of progress!
+2monkeysmomma I totally agree with you! I painted our black Ikea bookcases white, to brighten up the room. I love how they came out. I also bought a used Ikea coffee table and painted it to match the living room.
+Simply_Mari I paint anything and everything and if it does look good the first time around I keep redoing it until I'm happy with it or I finally admit defeat and tear it down for parts for future wild whims ( my hubby's words) and 2monkeys if you have any color paint add pigment to it a changing the color I mixed a beautiful green with a light cream it came out ugly mud green I thought was going to be trash but I kept it and I dry brushed it over a project with a different dry brush color and it's beautiful an old world Tuscany shabby chic look that I would never have gotten. lol even old paint with lumps in it strain and put in jars on a shelf - takes less room then big cans and easy to see colors for inspiration ( hubby complains less about taking up shelf space because I now buy the $1 clearance paints in any color ) lol the only thing that's a must is use an extender/conditioner I even use it in drops when I only need a tiny bit of paint (I save those little plastic containers condiments come in with take out food and I save the plastic any item comes in cut all the extra off leaving just the indented area where the item sat use that for mixing bits up or if u need to check color also the tiny cups for medicine I put with DIY stuff - I only need one cluttering up the cabinet) yikes I just realized I might be an organized hoarder lol
Awww you rubbed you sweet baby bump through the video ! Can't wait to see what the next baby is !! So happy for your family ! I'm headed for that desk ! Love it !
what an inspiration, your personality so soothing, like a best friend or a big sister, I just want to hug you
A great transformation, the lighter furniture makes such a difference to this space.
That's incredible! Who knew what a huge difference it made by switching to white furniture? Everything looks clean and calm. Exactly what's needed for an office. Gotta love Ikea!
Isn't it amazing how much color, or lack of, has on our mind/mood? It looked like a different room and SO much brighter! I like it! Makes me want to re-do something...
SO helpful! I desperately need help reorganizing our flex room and your ideas are so great! Thank you.

I say this as someone who is actually quite bubbly on a day to day basis, but she makes me feel like I should just be happier in life!!

Really nice re-do! You're so right about the dark furniture sucking the life from the room - I have to keep that one in mind. Thanks for the tips!
I love that you showed the before. Sometime when we watch you (general "tubers"), we imagine all of you life if already out together.

That looks really nice. The white furniture does brighten everything up a lot.
thanks Kat. Congratulations on the baby! God bless you all!
IKEA is the best for office furniture. Great prices and colours. I love how you mix new IKEA with thrifter items for a clean look. Great job!
My beauty room/home office furniture pieces are all white too! IKEA is such an amazing place for office furniture! Everything is so organized and gorgeous!
Great job! I love your wall color! White furniture just brightens up a room. And you're the cutest pregnant lady!
There's so much about this I totally love! How nice to have a designated office space that has you all set up for what you need to accomplish in a day. Great job!
Yeah, amazing how white colour can transform a space!!! Great well done vid!!! Thank you!!👍🏼
Beautiful! I am remodeling my office and I hope it comes about as beautiful as your office space! Congrats on baby.
I just love, love your video and you. You calm me when I'm just overwhelmed with my need space. I just moved in so I don't have a lot of things. So I want to use this new space in a productive way. Don't want to clutter any space. Thank you for all your tips.
I just wanted to say your videos are making all the difference for me. The tips you give are so helpful and I can't thank you enough. :)
+Sarah Clements I'm so glad, Sarah! That means a lot to me. Truly!
Wow what a great make-over Katryn. You two really did a great job. When I need furniture for my home I always look at Ikea first.
Love your office so cute. I think women who can have a duo office are super hero’s
I love your home office makeover!!! The white is Sooo clean looking.... And your bins are Sooo snazzy.... 😊👏
What a difference! Really brightened the whole room! Loved this!
i am seriously OBSESSED with your channel!!!!!!!!! I want to de-clutter and reoganize my life!
I love the idea of turning the books backwards. The sight of the pages is much better than all the bright colors.
+Violet Baker I totally agree. It completely changed the room for sure! Thank you :)
Congratulations! Praying for a healthy baby! Thank

We barely are gonna get an IKEA in Las Vegas I'm so looking forward to it ... Love your video you're a total inspiration ... You and Charlie are adorable together
Love the new office! You can also cover your books with white paper and print the name on the spine so they all look uniform and pretty. :)
IKEA is great for functional and affordable furniture! Most of my craft room furniture and other pieces are from there. Great office!
Great idea on reversing the folder holders... looks less busy. I will try that
Home run! I love how bright and light everything looks in your office. I've been wanting to update my office for a while now. tfs -Tai
You need a whole show! Love your ideas!
I love this! My office is always a work in progress but now that Im starting a new graduate program, starting a blog and super building my tpt store I need it to function way better.

I love it!! I'm in the middle of redoing my room so seeing all the ikea organization ideas, whether for an office or bedroom, is so helpful!
I dont like white furniture or appliances at all except in craft rooms and offices. I think it looks so pretty. Your office is fabulous.
Oh My gosh you have the cutest baby bump! Congratulations again. I can't wait to see how you decorate the nursery.
Looks amazing! Much brighter and less cluttered looking! I am a sucker from the cube shelves from Ikea! Your baby bump is coming along and soooo cute :D

You are so adorable. I love your organization ideas. I think I am going to Dollar Tree tonight on my way home from work!
It's so lovely that you've displayed your diplomas, my degree hasn't seen the light of day since I was given it.
Your office redo was great! Lots of items for less!! Love it!!
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.❤
love the makeover, bless you and your baby bump!
This looks great. I have to agree the shelf unit from ikea is great. I used one to organize my sons closet.
I love your video! I am such a fan of these ikea book cases I could have them in every room. Thanks for your ideas for dealing with cords. I hate them, too.
Thanks for sharing. I am getting ready to declutter and reorganize our rooms upstairs. I love all your tips.

It never has occurred to me to turn the magazine holders backwards! What a good idea. I only have about 10 years worth of multiple quilting magazines that I really need to pass on. I don't have them at the top of the to do list.
I love your cute little white desk. It's a great space now for the both of you.
Love it! I could spend all day in Ikea! 💛💙

Can't believe I haven't come across your channel sooner. Stoked to browse around!
Nice!!!! I love it! I swooned over the Kallax shelves too until we bought several of them. Best buy EVER! 😊
Looks great love how bubbly and joyous you sound.
Great tip to turn books backwards! We teachers always seem to collect them! 😋
Btw, I'm from Ohio, but I checked out Albion in Michigan and really thought about going there before choosing Miami University.
You are such a joy to watch ! Love the office !

Thank you for doing this video we are in the process of revamping our office, your tips help out!
I LOVE that wall color!
Love, love, love your new office and organization! Looks amazing!
