When she issued this challenge I had just finished claiming our back-door-desk-junk-holder into my own official desk and was having fun adding items to make the space mine all mine.
I also had an antique tool caddy that I had snatched up at the Habitat store which I had intended to use for floral arrangements.
Isn't it so cute? When I bought it I had imagined all sorts of floral arrangements for each season. However, every time I tried to find a place for it in my kitchen or living room I could never find the right spot. It was either too small or too big for every space I tried. Thus, it was left sad and lonely in the laundry room while I tried to find another use for it.
Enter the Funky Junk challenge.
As I carried the tool caddy around my house I had an epiphany. (Or I may have had the epiphany while I was lying in bed at night thinking about my house projects instead of sleeping, which I tend to often do.) What if I used it for my desk to store pens, sticky note pads, and other Cheap Mama desk items?
And a desk organizer was born! I love it here. (I'm actually sitting at the desk right now typing this post). It brings my style in a small way to my desk and actually serves a useful purpose instead of merely a decorative one.
