Comments (12)Wow -- Like Geokid said -- pictures make all the difference. Love the nook and it could work perfectly. I don't know that I'd even worry about closing it off ... it is like it own little room! Very cute. You said that you already have your phone line there but what about electrical ... I have about 4 plugs all utilized. LOL. I'd position the Lap Top or monitor in the window corner so you can look up and out the window. That will minimize frontal glare. A full L-Shaped surface would look nice (below the window then along back wall). I'd put shelving on the right-hand tall wall (half way up or full) but I'd make it shallow (like 12-14 inches) so it doesn't cramp your work area. On the furniture -- I hate to recommend too much because the options are all over the map. If you folks are DIYers you can order laminate countertops to mount to the wall, secure on legs or to sit on-top of equal height cabinets (file cabinets or even kitchen cabinets) that are strategically positioned. Or ... you can go the OfficeDepot/Staples route and get something more modular and "officey". Alternatively, you can go more formal and get actual wood pieces new from a Furniture Store or off Craig's list but those pieces typically limit leg room or roller chair use. Finally, my favorite recommendation is to look at Pottery Barn's collection or the Martha Stewart Living Craft Collection. These two sources have so many configurable items for surfaces and storage it is mind boggling. The only drawback is most are self-assemble and limited in color. Key is ... make the nook as functional as possible for your work day with lots of surface space. Have plenty of underneath or shelf storage to organize books/papers/bills or simply to hide/stack stuff out-of-sight. LOL. Sorry for the long suggestion -- I've had too many offices in my life!

Comments (17)WOW someone thought of me and a blog?! I'm quite flattered! It would be lovely to be able to do that but computers and I really do not get along on most levels. At least mine at home. Red - don't you think that massive picture would be just awesome behind my desk!!!!!!!!! It'd be almost like my own window on Paris! Over the wknd I got some more pics hung up in the office and I have to say I am really, really loving it. I know that that having so many pictures covering almost every sq. inch of wall space and horizontal surface is a realtors nightmare and most people would probably say - nope that's too much or what is she thinking, but I just love it! Every picture has a story behind it (even if I don't know who the person is or I haven't been to that place yet). My walls are like a visual library for me and I can't wait until the tiniest detail is done to show you all! This wknd I hope to get my floating shelves up on the wall beside my desk. I'm going to try and find my old mason jars and load them up w/ my pencils and other desk stuff as well as give DS1 a place to keep his collections of rocks and marbles out of reach of the younger ones. Yesterday afternoon I laid down on my kids car map rug in the office while the baby played(I was so tired). I looked around and it was soooooo peaceful and warm and family like....See MoreNew house, new office. Need suggestions please!
Comments (2)So without any dimensions just going off what I can see in the photo here is a conceptual layout. I'm visualizing SW Passive as the dominant color with Seawashed Glass as the accent. I hope this helps!...See MoreWhere should I put my computer desks at in my office?
Comments (1)”Best” is so subjective; it depends on what layout works best for the user without blocking access to doors, windows etc. Your brother should set his desks up however suits him. It’s not like Better Homes and Gardens is going to come around and score it....See Morefriedajune
