Eager to try this out with your own space? Follow these easy tips!
- Keep the top shelves intact and add some cut plywood for a desktop.
- Try painting the surfaces a glossy white. (Impervex Gloss, $17 a gallon, benjaminmoore.com for stores.)
- Splurge on a fun design element by adding a funky wallpaper. Ellen used a great rosabella wallpaper ($140 a roll, osborneandlittle.com for stores) to brighten up the spot.
- Combat potential clutter by hiding wires. Computer wires were plugged into a power strip that was attached to the wall beneath the desktop.
