Schultz Party of Four

I was completely motivated after posting THIS "before" photo of the office to recreate our office/work/art space as a miniature sanctuary from the chaos of life.

• I found the maps at Mardel for $6 total - the BEST part of the whole space!!!
• We already had the art tables and chair and black shelving.
• I bought the pink file cabinet at Walmart for $45 - pink is perfect!
• I also bought the cute brown and green and white boxes at Walmart for $6 each
• The cracker jars for crayons and Bendaroos were only $3 at Walmart
• And the curtains were $18 (again with the Walmart), which we potato stamped for free
• The cozy winged back chair was my sister's, ready for Good Will (FREE)
• And the little blue table was $20 at the local antique mall (thanks to Grandma for the find!)
• I made the bulletin board, which bowed terribly (darn cheap cork) so we had to lean it on a shelf rather than hang it ($20 for cork board and elastic, $5 for little black shelf)
• The old green chair made for a good bookcase for now.
• The collection of paint brushes fit inside an old pickle jar.
• Everything else we had previously.

Total spent to make our space usable and inviting was about $150...
