Remember when I mentioned a while back that I had been working on some secret stuff to be revealed later? Well, here it is! I’m SO excited to share my new BonjOrganization guide! I often get asked by other photographers and moms, “How do you do it all?” The Bonjorganization guide includes all of the...

This was no easy task. I had to take everything out of the office and then start from scratch. My goal was to make it look clean, fresh, happy, pretty and functional. It was difficult to do because not only do I work in there but my husband & kids like to be on the...

kelli this is amazing! i love every, single, detail!!
Oh I love it! I would love to know where you got your stuff at. I have had to put my office in mine and my husbands room and I am working out of a very tiny space and need some shelves and these look perfect.
Wow Kelli!!!! Your office looks AWESOME!!! It’s totally inspiring!!! I love it!
Kelli, this is so awesome! It looks AMAZING, and I’m sure you will get more done there now that it’s so organized and inviting! Kind of funny, I almost bought that same exact poster…”keep calm and carry on” I think I might go back and get it! So did you boot your husband or is he still in there too? I would love to know about how much your makeover cost. My office looks about like your did before, same plastic table and dingy organizers.
It’s so pretty! Where did you get the curtain for the closet? It’s adorable!
Ixnay on the husband comment, I see where he is now 
stunning! love the organization … so cute!
Kelli,
Wow! I’ve looked at the before pictures and…dark. After: bright and beautiful! Great job.
You continue to amaze me! Truly a stunning makeover. Wanna do my house next?
That is gorgeous. You did a great job. I am in the process of makin over my office. I got about 25% of the way and stalled. I will finish one day.
Agreed! Looks fantastic! I would also love to know where you found that curtain, I’m obsessed!
LOVE IT!!!!! Great work Kelli!
Thank you for all your nice words. The curtain is a shower curtain that was ordered online at Urban Outfitters. I just love it!
oooh! i love it! i want someone to come and make my room over now

Your office looks fabulous! I love how clean and bright it looks.
Thank you Devon! I got the LOVE print from http://www.madebygirl.com
I need to do this to my office – I feel the same way – uninspired and unorganized! I’m sending this to my husband as well. Great job!
It looks so beautiful! I know exactly what you mean about clutter clouding the brain too…
Can i ask what size the canvas of the baby is on the wall?
love it, kelli! great job – very inspiring….

Raquel,
That baby is my little man and the canvas size is 20×24. Love that size!
my goodness! what an inspiration! wow! i love the bright white space with the fun pops of color. where did you get your “a place for pending papers”? that thing would really help the corner of my desk! love your transformation!

Colby,
I got the place for papers at Target then I added the label clips (that I purchased from Walmart) to it.
what a beautiful transformation! Love it!!!
Where did you get the desk/chair???
I’m in the process in trying to set up my work space at home –
got kicked off the dining room table!
LOVE!! Can I ask where you got your desk and the shelf w/the drawers?
Love it. Will you come do mine next???
So inspiring that I have already chucked everything out of my office/dining room and half painted the walls! Love all the little storage bits for papers, ribbons etc, I feel a little shopping spree coming on ;o)
Kelli-
Congrats, LOVE the office makeover! I see you found a great table too!

Congrats, LOVE the office makeover! I see you found a great table too!
wow, i LOVE the makeover. your expandable table would be the perfect wrapping station for my small space…would you mind sharing where you found it? thanks!!!
Jess,
The expanding table is a cutting table (for sewing) from JoAnne’s Fabrics.
Thanks Beth! Your office was a big inspiration.
Lisa,
The desk is from westelm.com. It’s the Parsons desk and it’s on SALE! The shelf with drawers is from Michaels.
saw your makeover at the Savvay Photographer and wanted to leave you some comment love. Your new office space looks devine! You’ve inspired me to take the bull my the horns and tackle my own space. Thanks and Happy creating! ~Kati
kelli where did you find the white stacked letter tray on your desk? “a place for pending papers” i’ve been looking for a unit JUST like that and have had zero luck. everyone i find is industrial and gross.
Ok so I have a dream to be organized! SO NOT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. Can you confirm that having a beautiful space like this really helps with being organized and keeping things tidy? I’ve always wondered if it was really true…
Love your blog
Rach
Rachel,
I can totally confirm that having a beautiful space is a huge motivator to keeping things tidy. Of course, I have to work at it everyday but my office is still clean! That’s a miracle & testament itself!
Jessica,
I got it at Target in the Scrapbooking section. I had to stack 2 of them on top of each other.
WOW WOW WOW!!!
I know this post is from a while back, but I’m re-doing my office and remembered this post. I am trying to find a wrapping paper station. Do you mind sharing where you found your wrapping paper holder?
Chelsea,
I got it at Michaels.

This was my office. I love my work but I HATED working in there. All the colors were dull and depressing. The clutter became chaotic. How can a girl be creative in a workspace like this? Although I ATTEMPTED to make it organized, I felt like the “stuff” was taking over the room and that...

Oh what a tease! Can’t wait to see the “after” pics. You are SO right. Our outer surroundings definitely impact what’s going on inside and affect our creativity and harmony. It’s wonderful to hear that you value yourself to make your work space a place that nurtures you. Blessings!
oh my goodness….that is really bad! Well at least you recognized enough to make a change.
Lol! Oh my word… this is cracking me up because my workspace looks very similar to this as I am transitioning our study into my new business office. Every time I walk in the room I can’t help thinking that it looks like a cyclone hit it and I immediately want to turn back around and work on something else… like laundry. =) ~ I was lucky enough to see your beautiful ‘after’ pictures prior to these. Viewing these really adds some impact to what an outstanding job you did creating your signature workspace. Beautifully done!
Brillant! Love it and has definitely a calming effect even in the images of before and after. Love your packaging/framing station! We were discussing tackling that very idea this month – So practical and cute!
Congrats on a job well done and as always thank you for sharing ; )
