She said it was her ideal work time at 2 pm-10 pm and I was so happy to hear that someone else thrived in this time slot.

Th...How great to see those office / writing spaces! Thank you.<br /><br />In 1973 I was in need of a desk, having moved out of a furnished apartment into an unfurnished. A few miles from where I worked there was a huge old warehouse filled with office furniture, stacked to the ceiling, and a full size wooden office desk which had been painted black caught my eye. It had with a slanted top, green linoleum, and I was told it was "an account's desk". I bought it for $30 and a friend and I hauled it in his pickup truck to a sand blasting company, where I convinced them to put it in booth. Two days later I returned to discover a suede-textured, beautiful mahogany desk. It was then hauled to a refinisher, who smoothed it out and sealed it. I absolutely love it! It's heavy as sin, though.<br /><br />My computer, a large iMac, is on a flat table (again used office furniture store) along with it's various accessories such as extra drives, printer, key board, etc. I sit between the two and turn as needed. There's a window on one side so I can see the garden, the other is open to the largish room, which includes a comfy club chair and ottoman with a table beside. The space also has a smallish wet bar area, drawers and a filing cabinet. I use a Relax-the Back ergonomic chair.<br /><br />No, I'm not a writer and not a teacher any more either, but I really like my office area.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-14337485270152805742018-05-07T15:03:15.074-04:002018-05-07T15:03:15.074-04:00By the way, my latest writing piece was a recap of...By the way, my latest writing piece was a recap of my Free Comic Book Day adventures.

AKA the bedroom (or as my mother used to call it, my cave). And it's a mess so there will be not pictures. But the room has the computer and on the side wall there is a number of cassettes and CDs to pull out and listen to while writing. On the opposite side is more cassettes, CDs and the overflowing bookshelves of books both read and unread. In between is the bureau of clothes. Behind the chair to the computer is the bed where a lot of my reading is done.<br /><br />It's eminently lacking in entertainment value so no one will miss there not being a pic.<br /><br />By the way, I loved Hank's work space with all those Emmys lined up on the shelves.Jay Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409350742317719903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-58926783923062399692018-05-07T14:21:31.769-04:002018-05-07T14:21:31.769-04:00What a special treat to be invited in to each priv...What a special treat to be invited in to each private domain.....really fun to now be able to picture you working/creating! The den in our home is my husband's space so we had to get a bit creative to find a spot for me since we only have two bedrooms. We took the closet doors off in the guest bedroom and put a desk, file cabinet and bookshelf in the space. A large bulletin board over the desk is filled with pictures, postcards that I send myself when we travel, special notes and cards. I really love my little creative space! <br />HelenHelen Nordsethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02722564768816791372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-66569303768886096272018-05-07T13:31:37.082-04:002018-05-07T13:31:37.082-04:00Nice to see where it all happensNice to see where it all happensPaulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02786463183900120910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-81624297714607418782018-05-07T13:04:51.753-04:002018-05-07T13:04:51.753-04:00I loved seeing these desks and work areas so much!...I loved seeing these desks and work areas so much!
