Where Home{made}-Ally lives...

The blog that is...

Here is my home computer space. I don't quite have the home office sorted yet however it is a work in progress (yay) but for now here is the mismatched industrial/rustic/romantic work space that I do have and love.

It is quite a simple set up... however it is missing an even work surface.. I will show you how I get around that shortly... We are trying to find a reasonably priced perspex supplier so that we may put a 'lid on things'.
The base is wrought iron and was purchased on good ol TradeMe for cheap as the glass top had been broken. The top is a door. It even came with built in cable holes haha.


Here is my wooden mouse pad. It works well and looks the part.


See my DIY deer silhouette? The stack of wood behind it are more frames of varying sizes that I will get around to decorating soon too.



I even have a matching green chair!


My workspace is once again a mixture of styles smushed together to create something unique and interesting that I love - I hope you like it too!

    I really love this space. The door, the chair, the wood frame are all so perfect together.

    I have this exact same table out in my garage, I removed because of the glass top and toddlers. I like the fact you put a new top on it, something for me to consider. Great space :)

      Thanks Bronwyn, yes we are on the lookout for some toughened glass or perspex as a top however in the meantime it is still quite easy to use as it is.

    Love your new desk and the great chair - what a great patina they both have. I also really like your idea of mixing industrial, romantic and rustic - very eclectic.

    Hi Ally! Love your creative use of found/inexpensive items to make a great little workspace for yourself. Pretty much anything in a distressed state is like decor crack to me. Right now, I'm blogging on a TV tray table in front of my couch, so I really need ideas. LOL Thanks for sharing this. Here (and newly following) from Live, Laugh, Linky! Have an awesome weekend! ~Mary
