Hasta La Ideas

This week’s Workspace of the Week is Jake and Lindsay’s shared office space:

I especially liked this office because we get to see it in action. It’s nice to see how people use the space, and to be reminded that these are actually places where work is accomplished. I also enjoyed the colorful bulletin boards above Lindsay’s desk, the pen storage containers, and the task lighting (which I assume is usually pointed at the task, not the bulletin board). Jake’s custom shelf for his monitor is a great touch for raising the monitor up off the work surface and providing additional storage and use space beneath it. It’s nice that both desks include the Expedit bookshelves from Ikea, so each worker has his and her matching storage. Thank you, Jake and Lindsay, for sharing your offices with us.

This week’s Workspace of the Week is LauraCone’s workspace at home:

This is one of the most adorable little offices I have ever seen. First of all, the artwork makes me smile immensely. The addition of what appears to be the cat’s paw print in plaster hanging below the kitty painting made me even more happy. A key to productivity is having a positive work environment, and this definitely exists here. Looking at these fun pieces while I worked would be so much fun. Second, I like the picture frame on the left that has cork board in it. This is such a stylish way to keep from sticking notes to your monitor or have them strewn about the desk. Finally, I like the narrowness of the desk (which can be better viewed in the adjacent image), which perfectly fits the needs and the space of its user. Thank you, LauraCone, for your wonderful submission to our Flickr pool.

This week’s Workspace of the Week is Paul’s minimalist home office:

Photographer and designer Paul transformed an upstairs open area of his home into an unclutterer’s dream office. The streamlined office is organized, well lit, and clutter free. The cable management on the desk is also beautifully done. Be sure to check out the additional images in the series: 1, 2, 3, and 4. Thank you, Paul, for your beautiful submission to our Flickr pool.

This week’s Workspace of the Week is John Megadeth’s home office:

Organized is not synonymous with new, and this week’s workspace is a perfect example of how older furniture can continue to work perfectly in the present. Using a desk from the middle of last century, John Megadeth has achieved a wonderful, stylistic look for his home office (and not a cable in sight!).

From the photo’s description:

The makeover began last summer with the purchase of the mighty tanker desk. With this piece, I began to really get into mid-century industrial furniture. With the addition of an awesome desk lamp (which we searched high and low for), and a great desk chair with matching side chair, the office is coming together well.

Unlike many of the people whose work spaces I see, I am not a computer programer. I’m a Technical Writer for a major-US airline here in North Texas, but I (unfortunately) don’t need to work from home. Our computer is mainly for everyday use.

Thank you, John, for such sharing your workspace with us.

This week’s Workspace of the Week is Darth Cena’s shared home office:

Sharing an office space with someone can be difficult, and keeping it uncluttered and organized even harder. This week’s selection of Darth Cena’s office is a wonderful example of how to make it work well. In addition to having a place for everything, her husband’s side of the office has a similar rule. I also enjoy the personal touches that keep the room from feeling sterile and I absolutely adore the highly organized Star Wars action figure display case. Thank you, Darth Cena, for sharing your office space with us.
