My home “office”
3 Mar
After almost 3 years in my dee-luxe apartment in the sky, I finally got the workspace where I want it. I like the clean, uncluttered look of it.
The table is from IKEA, the PC is underneath it. WM created the shelf (my “Dorkshelf”) out of a plank of wood and some shelf brackets from Home Depot. He assembled, painted, and mounted it on the wall. There’s an identical one over his desk. Mine’s much girlier. I have a tiny plastic 3-drawer unit that I’ll probably put up on the dorkshelf to hold pens, business cards, etc.
Underneath it is a little magnetic/push pin bulletin board that we got from the Container store. I can finally tack things to my wall. That makes me smile.
There is always beading stuff on my desk. I fiddle with wire when I’m bored.
See my new tax-refund monitor? It was only $179 at Best Buy a few weeks ago. I never realized how dingy my old monitor (about 5 years old now) was until I compared it to the new one. Having dual-monitors is nice when I’m dinking around with PHP or other code. My work setup feels ghetto now.
And here’s how this all looked in July, 2006.
I’ve come a long way, baby.
one.of.these.days i will have a true home office that only contains MY STUFF. so yeah, i’m kinda jealous of your set up there.
looks great. shelves make all the difference too.
