"Launched in 2005, Home-Dzine was created to realise a dream; to express my love of home DIY and decor and share with other South Africans. As a non-commercial website I am free to express my own opinions and pass on valuable information to readers.
I feel that more people can benefit by being able to DIY home improvement and home repairs. And we're not talking about major DIY home repairs, but those that anyone with a bit of DIY savvy can do themselves."
Stylish ideas for a home office
Not every home has space for a dedicated home office. But where space is limited it's time to put your creative thinking cap on to invent new ways to incorporate a working space.
This clever contraption features a door with a fold-down table for a work station that can be tucked away when the studying is done.
Carved into a kitchen, this desk faces a wall to limit distractions for mom catching up on Internet duties, and students trying to complete their assignments.
Built-in cabinetry makes for ample book and supply storage.
This compact, folding work surface doubles as covered supply storage unit. Create a similar space with easy-to-install wall-mount desks.
See the March 2011 issue of Home-Dzine Online for step-by-step instructions on how to make a flip-top wall mounted storage cabinet that easily doubles as a home office.
If you're looking for a place to set up a work station for your hobbies, arts and crafts, or even small do-it-yourself projects, this foldaway workbench is ideal. It takes up very little wall space and the bench itself folds up for convenience, and no one will even know it's there!
