Getting the office organized is proving to be a lot more difficult than we’d originally thought. I don’t quite know how we managed it but for some reason after moving to the larger room, we’ve managed to get MORE things without having any kind of a place for them. I’ve been looking into some office supplies in hopes that I’ll be able to come across some kind of inspiration on how to go about placing things in the room so they aren’t kind of just – thrown in there.
We have two tables between us, I’d like there to be some kind of a book case but he insists on saving computers so he can scrap them for parts and on top of that – the shelving we setup above us is a little too low for a book case to actually stand between us the way I’d like one to. I think while I’m cleaning this room up tomorrow I’m going to spend quite a bit of time reorganizing everything. Thankfully since I have an LCD monitor, having things on the desk isn’t such a big deal. What I’d like to do is pick up a monitor stand so that I can put my keyboard underneath it when I’m not using my desk – or when I’m using my laptop and my mouse/keyboard are just getting in the way. It will also give my external hard drive a permanent home instead of just having it kind of floating around the desk.
I could also do away with all of my stuffed animals and toys that are on the desk. I’d also like to get the dry-erase wallpaper so that instead of having the board standing up next to me, I can just put a big strip across the back of the desk and call it a day.
The only thing I don’t have a complaint about is the desk itself. I think this was an amazing find for $60, it’s exactly the desk I’ve wanted for many years now. A few modifications will make it absolutely perfect for me. I’m also considering getting some roll-away shelving underneath the desk itself because the space, as of right now, is only being utilized by my computer case and well…Bella. It’s shallow though, unfortunately there’s a bar underneath that could have the potential of making this a two person desk. I just don’t understand how two people could sit comfortably at this desk considering the limited space with just one person using it, let alone two.
