A few months ago, I came out of the closet. Literally, not metaphorically. Almost since I began working seriously on Home Ec 101, I’ve been hiding away in our master closet. Â It really wasn’t the best solution.
I took over the spare / play / school / what the heck do we do with it room. It’s still dual purpose, used for school work, but I finally got around to hanging some things and making it my own.
The white board is actually just an old, framed poster. I just turned the print over so only the white showed. What do you know… it works perfectly. I swiped that idea from Make and Takes. I’ve been wanting one for a while, I just never remembered to pick one up while I was out. I figured, since I was already destroying the dry wall, what’s a couple more screws?
What started it? I was picking up a few things the kids had drug out, including that mobile hanging in the corner. We moved into this house, 6.5 years ago and I never got around to hanging it. Inertia kicks my butt every time.
Oh yeah, that is my coffee from this morning.
Outside that window there’s a big old oak, with lots of squirrels and those guys have been busy ensuring there are plenty of squirrels next year, too. Â Oh, that? They’re just wrestling. . .

You’re doing better than I am. I still haven’t gotten around to framing those XKCD posters
Congratulations on the new office! That’s a nice looking setup, especially the podcasting mic 🙂
@imabug the mobile kind of balances that out. I suck so badly at hanging anything.
@Jared now I just need to use it, right?
At least it’s not going to be as embarrassing when Bran and Janet come over to work / hang out.
Nice setup! Sure beats my kitchen table…or more frequently, my lap! 😉
I love your command center. i have an office upstairs in what used to be Justine’s room but I conduct most of my business from the left end of the living room couch because it’s comfortable and close to the refrigerator.
your post motivated me to go out and find frames for my XKCD posters and finally put them up on my wall.
And now that I look at your picture a little closer, I think I ended up putting them in the same type of frames you did.
Wait…what? This is your office? Where the heck is all the papers and staplers and post-its and pens and books and crap that junks up my office at home? 😉
In all seriousness, you did a great job on the dual use room. I love it!
In that picture? Under the table in a wire basket cart thingy. right now? All over the table. 🙂
