DIY Rolling Desk In 5 Minutes

March 23, 2020 · In: DIY Projects, Lifestyle

Unexpectedly working from home but don’t have a home office? Instead of taking over your dining room or coffee table, grab a three-tiered cart that you already own to create a temporary workspace with a DIY rolling desk in five minutes or less.

You can roll it to the sofa, dining table, or even your bed, and you can roll it back to a corner when not in use.  It’s also great for kids to use for homework! I hopped on IGTV to show you how I’m currently working at home with this setup.

Recap

  1. Snacks and calendars
  2. Binders and notebooks
  3. Office supplies and chargers
  4. Cutting board on top

For another fun project with supplies you already own, turn disinfectant wipe containers into craft storage. Let us know what you’re doing to make such an uncertain time more Organized*ish too!

    I love the rolling table, and the wipe containers. Both ideas would be great to use in my classroom.

      Absolutely! The rolling cart is great for when a teacher needs to change seating arrangements, and the wipe containers could even be a class project where your students choose the look of them. I’m glad we could help.

      You’re so welcome. I think we all need one of these! Quick, easy, and functional is never a bad combination.

          Hi, Jennifer! We didn’t attach it. It’s to be used as a temporary top, so you place the cutting board right on top after positioning the cart. If you want something permanent, Michaels sells carts and a topper that fits perfectly into place.

5 Things You Never Knew About Me: 1. When Nigel a 5 Things You Never Knew About Me:
1. When Nigel and I started dating, I had a pet tarantula and a ball python, and both were in my small apartment bedroom next to my bed.
2. I started my blog in 2014 under the name In The New House. It didn’t change to Organized-ish until 2018.
3. I didn’t plan on becoming a professional organizer at all. A blog reader reached out and asked for help and people just kept asking after that.
4. I was chosen to share a holiday craft idea with @marthastewart on SiriusXM radio and she sent me a gorgeous wreath as a thank you.
5. I have a large collection of crystals and you can find at least one in almost every room photo I share here and on the blog. It’s like a never ending Easter Egg hunt. 😁
