Cost-Effective Home Office Planning

There are many ways to create a great space for working at home without spending a fortune. You may end up feeling a great sense of accomplishment after turning some wasted space into an efficient home office.

Here are some ideas:

Shop around for bargains at yard sales and flea markets
You may be able to take used furniture as a temporary option
Get ideas on line or from decorating shows
