extreme makeover: office edition

so almost three months ago i began a new job {yay!}, and it was quite a change from spending the majority of my days therapizing people to managing people.  needless to say, i spent most of memorial day weekend taking my new digs from drab to fab without breaking the bank...

a trip to everyone's favorite place, ikea, and some reinforcements from QT made it all possible, along with a few homemade touches courtesy of yours truly!

notice this hideous green couch. it used to be in my possession, until we moved offices and i made a strategic argument for a larger couch. unfortunately now i have re-inherited it... what to do?

three large whiteboards take up one wall of my office; not magnetic... fail!

enter said mentioned QT reinforcements.

it's super important to me to love the spaces i spend a lot of time in.  namely my living room and my work space.  i thoroughly enjoy spending my days in my new, amazingly awesome office...
