Have you heard of Vintage Printables?
Vintage Printables offers FREE, downloadable high resolution images of vintage prints. They have thousands in their public database with a huge selection of Botanicals, Birds, Animals, Butterflies, Shells, Art Prints, and really anything Science and Natural History related prints. The Hubby just printed them out at work!
The problem with our home office was that our desk was too small and didn't have nearly enough desktop work space our family needed. So armed with my free botanical prints as inspiration, I set out to find a new desk on a budget, but it wasn't easy. I looked everywhere and all I found were bulky, executive desks that cost at least $1,000 to $2,000 or more! Yikes...$2,000 for a desk? I don't think so!
Here's the desk I found! Well technically it's not a desk, it's actually a Dining Room table from World Market, but hey it really works! And the price compared to those other desks I had seen...far less than half!
The only downside with this new table is the lack of storage. So the Hubby and I devised a plan, putting file boxes in the hallway closet, and keeping clutter to a minimum. So far, we love it!
Ahhh, a fabulous find inspires a thrifty home office makeover...for less and without breakin' the bank...love that!

I love that last picture, Jane, showing the whole area! I love that you rethought the use of the dining room table from World Market as a desk. It makes sense because I like a large work surface too. The prints are great! Did your hubby just print them out on regular copy paper? They really look good over the desk, too. Love prints like that.
Love your botanical prints and the table/desk is fantastic. I've linked up friend! Thanks for hosting.
I love your botanical prints. Thanks so much for linking us to the Vintage Printables website, I can't wait to go explore!
I love those prints! I wish we had more of a 'home office' but, alas, it's turned into a 'guest room in progress' and the 'office' has moved to the living room. :| Oh well, These prints would look good anywhere! (and I giggled at the diet coke.... I can't help it, I get my all my powers from diet coke!) haha... :P
I love Vintage Printables, I have found great stuff on their site. Yours botanical prints look great framed. Thanks for hosting, this is my first time joining Frugalicious Friday.
You have impecible taste. Thanks for sharing it. Great blog. Keri
Those prints were great finds!
Also, I love dining tables as desks. I'm a girl who love to spread out while I work :).
Using the table as a desk is a great idea! We are currently looking for a new desk and that definitely gives us more options.
Love your office space! I wish I could keep mine so organized and clean. I'm glad I found you and you can be sure I will be back next Friday!
Thanks soooo much for sharing Vintage Printables...I didn't know about it...will be checking it out!
Blessings,

ooooh - i am so excited to participate! my husband gets tired of hearing about my deals so it will be fun to share it with all these frugal women who actually care! ha!
Congratulations on a successful link party! And I definitely need to check out Vintage Printables... thank you!
Just found your wonderful site... thanks so much for the vintage art link... I can think of 3 projects already that I will be using that for... I baven't bought new in so long I can't remember what the inside of a mall looks like...
This is the first time I have heard of Vintage Printables. I have already bookmarked it. Thanks!
What wonderful artwork and then I note the word "FREE" and am stunned. Of course, you had a hand in this -- the framing was also very important. You ended up with a WONDERFUL wall grouping. I absolutely love it, and I'm so glad that you linked it to the boardwalk bragfest. I am going to be following you and bragging about you all day long. You are amazing!
I love the table as a desk and I love out of the box solutions like that.
The framed botanicals really work with your new desk. The space looks great! Thanks for the link to Vintage Printables too.

Wow. Thanks for the heads up on the vintage printable site. Your office space looks great. laura@the mansion
those prints are so pretty. Scrolling through your pics, i thought "she's gonna decoupage those hutch doors..." just a thought - it might turn out really cute :)
oops! now i see that you sold it - oh well.
The prints are fabulous!!! And I love that you used a table for a desk. I think it looks better too.
I've recommended Vintage Printable many times, but have never used them myself. I plan on printing off some images now that I've seen this great arrangement.

I have been wanting to do this. Just found 4 bamboo frames at Re-store for $1 each. Can't wait!

You're botanical print-outs are absolutely beautiful. I wish I could also do this to my home office. It was quite a while since I made some makeover. Thanks for the share. You're ideas are very well appreciated. Keep it up! Good Luck!
