After the birth of her second child, Boise, Idaho-based Jennifer Hagler of A Merry Mishap moved her office into her bedroom work area: "I wanted a small area to keep things or to work and get away from the rest of the family for a few quiet moments," she says. In a cleverly executed move (thanks to her husband), her formerly full-size Ikea desk now functions as a corner bedside table/workspace in the master bedroom. Here's how to replicate the look:
Above: "My husband cut our old Ikea desktop down and attached it to the wall with a supporting bracket," Jennifer says.
Above: The corner functions as a spot for Jennifer to create a small moodboard and keep papers and other sundries organized.
Above: Designed by Jan Piechac and Henry Wielgus for Menu, the My Spot Notice Board consists of three anchors, a weight, and a hanging cord. It's available in gold or black for $150 from Huset Shop.
Above: The Swedese Spin Stool in white is $320 from Huset.
Above: Bits and Bobs glass desktop containers from Hay are designed to hold paperclips and pushpins in the office; prices start at $15 for the Mini Orange Bits and Bobs Container from A+R Store in Los Angeles.
