Office in the closet

I decided to move my office from behind my bed to the closet in order to free up about 18" of floor space in the bedroom.  The closet is too shallow for my desk, etc to fit so the closet doors must say open.  Doesn't matter, they stay open all the time anyway as the closet holds my office supplies, tax documents, extra picture frames, photo albums, etc.

The closet needed painting so I decided to use a light purple.  It was a gallon of oops paint I bought about a week ago.  Got the closet painted and proceeded to wait for it to dry.  The paint dried to a dark purple, no where near the color on the brush or on the outside of the paint lid.  You would have thought that when Home Depot painted a blotch on the lid to show the color, that it would have darkened like my walls.

I will make do wth a dark closet office as I am too tired and lazy to repaint it another color. 

There was quite a bit of stuff stored in this closet so, in order to accomplish my goal of having more space in the bedroom by putting the office in the closet, I need to make decisions on what to keep and what to throw away.  I will work on it this week so that by next weekend, perhaps I can further rearrange my office area, giving me more bedroom space.

In the closet, I had a bookshelf with office supplies on it, a 2 drawer file cabinet, a set of 3 plastic drawers on rollers and 2 sets of stacking drawers.  The drawers are way more than junk drawers.  No telling what "treasures" I will find while sorting through all this stuff.

Well, my light office space didn't turn out like I envisioned but there is more floor space in the bedroom and that is what is most important for now.
