" We&amp;#039;d bet money that you have this room in your house: The home office with shelves, drawers and a workspace specifically designed to keep everything in its place. Except...nothing is ever in its place. Tracie, the blogger behind Cleverly Inspired, had ths exact problem in her office/craft room. None of her materials or important items were within reach, and the stark decor was totally uninspiring. Tracie wanted to work with her existing scalloped built-ins, and knew a fresh coat of paint (Simply White by Benjamin Moore) would immediately make the space more serene. A strategically-placed mirror fills a bare area, and reflects light to brighten the room even more. But it&amp;#039;s the finishing touches that add both form and function: Glass jars, coordinated boxes, and a clever spot for scissors keep the mess to a minimum, and look great among other decorative touches.    Tracie&amp;#039;s wrapping paper rack is another stroke of crafty genius. An old door destined for the garbage now keeps her paper tidy with just a few hooks. (Learn how to make your own here.)
