Commented: Office dungeon help!I agree that you need to think about both the work you will be doing and your place within the company. Will you need privacy for certain meetings (performance reviews, difficult conversations, etc.)...
Commented: What would you do with this space?I would get a round pedestal table and more comfortable chairs (padded!). Round tables are more friendly, and a pedestal means no leg interference. Then add artwork (family photos?) and plants.
Commented: I need trim/door advice tons of oakI would also keep the wood doors and trim. Try a product called Howard's Restore-a-Finish; it covers scratches and makes the wood look new(ish). Be sure to try it on a hidden corner first.
