I love body scrub. I love it so much that I feel like a different person after using it. What I don’t love is how expensive the natural ones are.

And surprise, surprise, I care more about interior design than Eaman, so I repainted those drawers white and had my white-on-white dreams come true.
But I needed more than just a color change. Here are 6 other ways I updated my office space — all done on the cheap:
