Here you go, the uppers have the calander hanging on one side and emergency numbers on right door and all the office things live here. There is an outlet for charging cameras and "my" stuff. On the counter is an outlet for the land line. Antique tray is our magnet board. Top drawer has a powerstrip attached to the back for DH's electronics this is "his" drawer for keys and anything else. Bottom drawer is the coupons, and "junk" drawer as I have found it is inevitable! Basket is home for shoes. There is now a cushion on the dog kennel. Once Buddy is no longer we can pop an end panel on kennel and the lid under cushion lifts for more storage. Hope this helps! From Kitchen before and after From Kitchen before and after

Thank you both! I would like to place the desk in the center of the room. The extra desk space would be for a second person, i.e. my spouse to use if we were in the room at the same time, or at least that is what we were thinking. I love the idea of built-ins. That would probably provide a very seamless feel to the whole thing. This space would be around the perimeter of the room. The room is around 13' x 14' maybe. It is a bedroom sized room with a double window. It has a closet, so we can store supplies in there. The extra space would be mostly for workspace and maybe some immediate storage for a few items. We can always use bookshelves too. Love the inspiration pictures. Something like those built-ins but with flat workspace instead of drawers and shelving could work. Do you think cream like the desk or a wood tone like the top of the desk? I am leaning toward cream. I am completely open on wall color, draperies, lighting, etc. The only thing that is for certain is the beautiful desk I posted. Jan

I would probably do something similar to how they have it set up with desk on one of the walls parallel to the windows and then on the window wall some narrow cabinets. I have the Havsta ones from Ikea which are pretty plain but could be painted or jazzed up. I have the taller narrower ones behind the desk and the shorter a bit deeper ones on the side. Something like this might work on the wall under the windows. Then a nice reading chair and floor light in the corner.

What gtd519 suggests: float the desk perpendicular to the window, facing doorway, bookcase and art behind you. This means you will be seated with natural light coming in front the window. It will also give you space across from the doorway and by the window to put a small proportioned reclining chair and floor lamp, again by the window so you benefit from natural light. It could be a very nice space. A little like this layout but with your desk pulled forward, not facing wall. Use the back wall to create a mood with well organized bookcase, framed art, and maybe even an accent wall for Zoom meetings. Add a colorful rug like this in front of the desk.
