How to fix up your office space without even trying: Part 1 (Adding color)

When looking at a photo of my office, I’m overwhelmed by the underwhelming green hue that radiates off the walls, furniture and ceiling light.

So, step one of my revamping project was to add some color, which I did with these three simple crowdsourced projects.

1. Yellow felt flowers (DIY Billy Balls; DesignSponge)
   Total Cost: $5.48/Total time: 20 minutes
   Felt: $2.49
   Wires: $2.99
2. Refurbished, recycled glass bottle vase (Glass Bottle Crafts; Someday Crafts)
   Total cost: $4.98/Total time: 5 minutes
   Bottle: $2.99 at antique shop
   Spray paint: $1.99
3. Elegant filing cabinet (yes it’s possible!) (Metal Cabinet Makeover; Green Submarine)
   Total cost: $3.88/Total time: 5-10 minutes
   Paper: $0.97 x 4 sheets = $3.88
   Glue : (used a glue stick in my office, free!)
   (You could also use contact paper, but I was already at the craft store and fell in love with this paper from the scrapbooking section).
