First Post from my Home Office
Today I decided to setup an ‘office’ in the spare bedroom. So far since we moved I’ve been working on the sofa in the living room which has been very comfy and I hadn’t even thought about moving until I had a look around the spare room today and realised it would be prefect for a little office. It even has a desk in already!
So far I have just moved my laptop in but have plans to make it more office-y. My progress has stalled over the past few months so I am hoping a change of scenery to a slightly more professional environment might help me stay motivated.
I plan to put in a whiteboard behind my laptop so I can write down ideas and targets and maybe even stick up a few inspiring images of a nice car, house or holiday destination.
There is no TV in here which is a good thing as it was too tempting to put it on during the day and watch some Premier League re-runs from the weekend or an old film. Working in here should keep me focused and on track. There is even air-con to keep me cool.
Things to get for my new office:
- whiteboard
- post it notes for ideas
- notepad (a paper one)
- speakers for my laptop
- money cat
- cool lamp
Where do you work from? Purpose built office or wherever you lay your laptop?
As requested here are some photos. It doesn’t look very inspiring yet but hopefully in a few weeks it should look more homely.

Spare room too! No need for aircon, it’s London after all.
I have a desktop in there, although I use my Dell XPS M1330 most of the time on the couch!
we want pictures!!
Wish I had room for a desk away from the living room It’s all so distracting, having the “pleasure” things in the “work” space..
Love your blog since finding it a little while back.

Hi,
Are you still living in Thailand? Are you interested in link exchanges?
Can’t upload any photos. The button in WordPress to upload/add media is not working. Seems to be a common problem. Oh well…
Yes still living in Thailand. Always looking for link exchanges. See the link exchange thread on a4u.
