How To Make A Small Space More Functional!

T is back with another great tip!  How to create a great functional space out of a small space!

I am always telling my daughter that she can turn her small space into a functional place. She cannot envision it. She thinks she needs her own room and much larger would be nice too. I just shake my head at her and go into my room. Yesterday I got to thinking that I needed more room in my room also.

Now it is time to bring in my professional duster, TD #4. I got to thinking that I could make my husband a nice little work space for those days when he has to work at home. This could prove to my daughter that I could make a small space into a functional place.

Just moving the dresser unveiled a ton of space. Now I can break out a few things I purchased back when we had the 50% off Dollar General coupons.

Now I have nice functional space. I also found places to store the clutter! 

The bulk of my clutter was overflow from the jewelry I make. I have certain bobbles I want in my room for those last minute ideas.

I got rid of the desk that was in the corner. I know that sounds strange but I re-purposed it in another room and turned it into my mega work station.
I am so happy with my new space. I now have enough room to add a twin size bed to the side of my bed. I won’t do it, I am just saying! I found a ton of space and never spent a dime. I moved my bookcase from the living room and made a banging office in a different room.

What space would you change if you could?
