Most people tend to put the home office in a bedroom or den or something with a door. They don't want their work mess in a communal space and certainly not on their grandma's antique table, but look at these spaces from WeWork. They are mostly co-working, shared spaces. I work better with and around them (even if my little people are sometimes a distraction). I dream of a dining room. For those of you out there who are fortunate enough to have a formal dining area, how often do you use it. I have seen too many wasted dining rooms. Make it a library, a game room, or a very functional office. Besides a hardworking table (no precious family heirlooms please), choose lots of closed storage for corralling books, electronics, games, whatever.

The bit of trim in the foreground was purchased many years ago at an antique store and attached to the cabinet we inherited from my husband's grandmother. The empty frame behind this sweet little miss came from an architectural salvage store in Berkeley (I haunt two of them, Ohmega's and Urban Ore) which was painted white, along with everything else in this photo (except for Little Miss, though I am... If you have read my Christmas décor blog posts, then you might recognize this little guy. ) The silver and gold tree that took up this corner for Christmas has been.
he was just one man lost somewhere in the vast universe. It would be like looking for one particular needle in a huge pile of needles, or one grain of sand in a desert. “First things first though,” he told his TARDIS with a thought as he strolled back along London’s busy streets to where he’d left her, taking in the sights and sounds of the early Sixties as he went. “I promised you an asteroid, and I believe there are plenty in the asteroid belt around earth. ” “No rush, take your time. Just spotted a watch seller’s shop across the street, think I’ll take a look, see if they have any pocket watches. ” Ianto checked for traffic before ambling across the street. There were far fewer cars than he was used to. it was strange to think that here he was, walking the earth more that twenty years before he would be born. “Pocket watches have a timeless quality, if you’ll pardon the pun. While I repair and sell all kinds of clocks and watches, I must admit my greatest fondness lies with vintage and antique timepieces such as these. Sadly, most of the pocket watches I have.
