Five great details add more storage and style to this office.

1. Chic Shade
A sheet of pierced aluminum is bent and glued around a duct cap; the seam is laced with wire. Washers, marbles, and prisms dangle from the edge.  

2. Creative Containers
A 1950s aluminum tumbler set corrals art supplies.

3. Magazine Caddies
Circles punched from contact paper and applied to a caddy painted pale green are an easy way to make dots. Paint over the cutouts with a darker shade, let dry, and peel off the contact paper circles.

4. Bargain Curtains
Curtain clips attach the panels (formerly part of a queen-size bed sheet set) to the galvanized-pipe curtain rod. 

5. Handsome Hardware
Washers, wing nuts, and hex screws make bold door pulls. The door inserts are extruded metal.
