Hasta La Ideas

This week’s Workspace of the Week is 037’s damask dream:

The reason I chose this week’s workspace is because it does such an amazing job at establishing a sense of personal space in a sea of open offices. Anyone who has ever worked in an open office knows that personal items have a way of disappearing or migrating to other desks. In open offices, you also often feel like you can’t express yourself in a way that still deems you as being professional. This office, however, by simply using a red damask fabric, solves the problems I just mentioned and many others.

From 037’s image descriptions:

The fabric is ordered from eBay (just search Red Damask), and is glued with Super 77 Adhesive to a giant 42″ x 18″ mouse pad rubber I bought from Canal Rubber in NYC. The mouse pad is so huge I don’t need to worry about moving my hands off a mouse pad anymore!

I then scanned and traced the fabric pattern in Illustrator and created a PNG file for wallpaper.

Even the Chumby received a makeover with a pattern from Make Fun Studios.
