Spare Room Project

More inspiration for my guest bedroom / home office redecorating project...

Johan utilizes wall space up high to store his DVD collection in hacked IKEA shelving.

Sean repurposed vinyl rain gutters to manage his desk cables.

I got a few items for Christmas that will make great additions to my new office:

HP PhotoSmart Plus Wi-Fi Multifunction Printer

Belkin Concealed Surge Protector

CyberPower UPS Battery Backup

I also got some new tools to make the project a little easier:
Black & Decker 18V Variable Speed Cordless Drill
Black & Decker Alkaline Battery Screwdriver
Black & Decker BullsEye Auto-Leveling Laser and Stud Sensor
