Workspace Workout

Setting up your workspace is a task that takes time to think on what works best for you, what inspires you and how you can be your most productive in a relaxed atmosphere.

We are not all so lucky to have enough space for a separate office however incorporating our workspace in our living area can be a fun and creative exercise in form and function.

This office space has been temporarily allocated at the end of a very long dining room. As the room is not used as often as the other spaces it made sense to utilize the one end near a bay window with a view of a large old apple tree... relaxation, check!

I love hitting the antique markets in our area for unique finds to utilize in new and creative ways. I was thrilled to come upon this vintage metal tool box that supplied lots of drawers and storage for markers, pencils and other drafting tools, and how awesome that I also scored this cool old library trolley that was used to move books around and now houses design books, papers and the tool box right beside a drafting table.... sweet, inspiration, check!

Because my personal style is vintage/industrial/recycled this little work nook fits right in with the dining space decor and just needs a quick clean and organize when company comes for dinner, like it was alway meant to be... function, check!
