I’ve been talking about updating my office recently, and while it’s definitely not yet complete, I did get the chance to add some new additions that I think make a pretty sweet impact.
Now, before I share with you about these two new pieces, I need to tell you that I have a slight addiction. To tables. I live in a normal-sized one-bedroom apartment and have six (6!) tables co-habitating with me. Please try to imagine that. It’s bananas I tell ya. As a moving-in present, my dad offered to buy me a little somethin’ somethin’ to spice up my new digs — a TV, he suggested. Instead, I asked for a dining table, because in addition to being the #crazydoglady, I also like to be the #crazytablelady. You know how it is.
I ordered my new pieces from Sauder and this is what they looked like when I got them:

Despite the hot mess that was my living room, they were actually pretty easy and quick to put together. The instruction manuals that came included were so detailed that I pretty much couldn’t screw anything up. I also got to use my drill, and any occasion where I get to use a drill feels like Disneyland for adults. I could seriously drill things all day long.
Anyways, first up, I got this coffee table, which I decided to turn into a little floor-pillow clad work station, since I don’t yet own a couch. I sit at my regular desk for 8+ hours a day, so having a new area where I can chill and do some work is totally awesome. I also dig the marble top to this table, to give it a little something different.


The other table I received was this handy little side table, which I paired next to my desk. Prior to this side table, I had a hideous set of open drawers where I kept my craft supplies (which will soon be relocated to a closet). I was surprised how much this table added to my office space. I think it really “classies” up the whole area and also gives me some cuter looking storage space. I’m always down for storage since I own about a zillion (more or less) useless things.

Though it was my first experience on Sauder’s site, I really liked how they laid everything out because you could search by collection, room, or product. There was also a style quiz on their site, which I obviously took because I love personality quizzes, even from furniture companies.

All in all, I’m pretty stoked about these little updates! They definitely feel like “me” and gave me that little jolt of inspiration I needed to redo the rest of my office (and living room). More to come! Have a great one, everybody. 🙂

Your apartment is nice and bright. I love it! Very zen.
Thanks Stephanie! 🙂
Those tables are fun! I never knew there were ‘table ladies’ but it’s fun!
hahah I didn’t know there were either, until I looked around my apartment!
I’m a total floor-sitter myself, so I really love that first table 🙂 options are always good. I often stand and work from the bar in my kitchen! hah
Thanks Eliza! It’s nice for relaxing while I work 🙂
My office is perpetually getting redone. I’m never exactly happy with how things are set up.
Ahh ain’t it the truth! I’m the same way. I like to think we’re “growth-minded.” 😉
I love the coffee table/ floor sitting area! It’s so cute and unique! Way to spice up a creative space 🙂
Thank you! Glad you dig it 🙂
I love your coffee table! It looks like a great size and I love the idea of being able to sit at it. Sometimes I end up sitting on the floor of my living room when I’m working, just for a change of scenery (kinda). Is it heavy or would it be fairly easy to move? I’m actually looking for a coffee table. At first I was going to do a wine crate coffee table, but I’m having a hard time finding decent wine crates. If I do it I’m definitely going to DIY it–and by DIY I mean that I’ll have my dad DIY it because me and tools = no–but I’m starting to think it’ll be easier and cheaper to find something else. I need something that I can move easily for when I work out, though, because i work out in my living room. So it either needs to be on wheels or it needs to be light and sturdy enough to withstand being moved.
Thank you Crystal! It’s not very heavy, you could definitely move it on your own! I really dig the size and sturdiness of it, too. 🙂
So much love for that floor sitter desk! Such a cute idea, I may need to try that myself one day!
You totally should! Altogether it was less than $150, which is a lot cheaper than getting a desk and chair 😉
I love the coffee table with pillows! Perfect way to manage a lack of desk or couch 😀
hehe thank you Camila! 🙂
I love how cheerful and bright everything is! It’s looking great! 🙂
Thanks Stacia! 🙂
Ah, I love the tables! I think the miniature coffee table should be, like, a must-have in creatives’ homes, because, ah, it’s cute cute.
Then again, I love mini things, minimal design, etc. I also love surfaces. :p
haha I agree! And surfaces! That is a better way to describe it than tables….I love surfaces, too!
