It is my office, and you have seen it before. I have made some changes to it, so I thought I would update you on them.
That is not what I signed up for
This office was supposed to be temporary for me. We had discussed where my office would be located in the house. However, that changed when my wife wanted a more prominent spot for her.
So there goes my plans for that office space.
Best of what I have
I decided to make the best of what I currently have for my use. The space is
Here are some things that have made this my space.
- An L-shaped desk with a standing side
- Matching the bookshelf with the desk
- Three cabinets to have my stuff in
- It was not what I was going for, but it was doable
- A curio cabinet from my grandparents
- My parents had it, then it became mine.
- Floating shelves
- Whiteboard
- Picture my grandmother painted
- Over the window and door shelves
- 28 plastic holders of things
- Ring light
- Tripod for filming
- Under cabinet lighting
- Plug in the floor
- Network plug
What I wish it had was
- More room
- More plugs
- Another network plug
- A place to put all my cruise ships like a hanging ship shelf.
Make it my own
With anything, you have to take what you get and make it your own. I mean, my office in the old house was turned into a bedroom. Then, I used the kitchen or the living room for a time. I always heard how messy my office space was.
I had the ice maker right next to my desk, which is always a plus. I have moved on from that time to my office.
I have tried to make the best of what I have by getting small things to help improve the feel of the office. My wife doesn’t like people seeing my office first when they walk into the house. Well, that is what you get when you take my office, which I designed for me. But I would rather people see my office than her office.
I will continue to add small things to the office that will help make it feel like mine. I don’t want to get too much stuff to make it look messy. But just a couple more things.
Thoughts
The office is coming along. I did get rid of two monitors for the time being and just moved my personal computer to the big desk with all the monitors since I don’t currently have a job. This makes it feel better without all the monitors on the desk.
I can do other things on the desk that I haven’t been able to do before. I wish I could do a few things differently, but that is my problem.
You have to make what you have work for you. I plan to build an office outside of the house since my wife has other ideas for downstairs.
