White Hot

An all white room usually leaves me cold. But I did a double take when I saw this study recently.

The all white room has been punched with colour bursts making the room so much more friendly and fun.

Monkey Business

It’s been one thing after another with this wretched computer. We lost internet connection for two days and I could’ve sworn someone had chopped off my arm.

Anyway, it would appear everything is back to normal so no more monkey business. We will resume normal postings tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience.

 

You’ve Got Mail

A number of clients have asked me lately to advise on placement of the computer.

These days most families have a computer….or two and most of the family use it……or them. From online shopping, paying household bills, children’s homework, researching the ideal household pet and running home businesses, the computer and a suitable workplace is one of the top priorities for most families.

The problem comes when we want ready access to the computer yet we don’t want it to dominate the living the space or be “pinging” away letting everyone know “you’ve got mail.”

This is probably the most popular image on the internet of a compact, yet stylish office.

It has everything required to undertake household officework. The idea that the door can be closed when someone is not actually working on the computer is a great bonus.

This is another take on the same theme.

The beauty of this one is that you can take it with you when you move houses.

Home Office Made Easy supply this unit which is practical though not as stylish as the above two.

Desk In A Cupboard

The kitchen is an ideal spot for a laptop. I keep all my recipes on the computer and having it right there in the kitchen would save paper and energy. I always find that things come to me as I’m peeling the vegetables and I down tools and rush off to send an email or look something up on the ‘net.

Either way you look at it, the computer is here to stay and having it close at hand where everyone can use it makes alot of sense.
