I just read an interesting article from CNN on creating tiny home offices out of closets.  Here is the question they pose: Is it possible to have a functional home office if you are strapped for space?  My answer - absolutely.  Having an abundance of space does not necessarily make you more organized.  If you are short on space and you are looking to create a home office, converting a closet can be a great solution.  Here are some important things to consider:

• Make sure to fully utilize your vertical space by adding shelving
• Keep only what you need
• Consider purchasing a scanner to minimize the number of paper files you have to store
• Make sure everything has a "home" (a designated spot where it is stored)
