Building a Dream Office. Working in Comfort and Style. As I sit here writing this page, I am in my home office listening to the birds singing outside my window. My career has led me through a variety of offices and workrooms, open cubie areas, and on(customer)site nooks and crannies. I have worked from my car, from a table in a restaurant, and on sidewalks. So this Website celebrates that freedom and hopefully will inspire you to seek your own workspace goals. That is what this site is all about. The ope...

Shelves for the Modern Office | Building a Dream Office

Building a Dream Office. Working in Comfort and Style. Shelves for the Modern Office. Why do we need shelves any more? To look dignified and professional? When I visit other people’s home offices they usully have shelves and/or book cases but they don’t load these things up with stuff they need for work. There are usually nick nacks (nerd toys), personal momentos (including family pictures), and random junk that someone just needed to get out of the way. In a home office you might put your favorite books...

Building a Dream Office. Working in Comfort and Style. A Great Chair Makes an Office Feel Like Magic. There is nothing so challenging as picking out the right chairs for an office. Your height makes all the difference in the world. Some chairs work better for people with long legs. Some chairs work better for people with long torsoes. I want comfortable arms on my chair so that they support the weight of my own arms as I type or when I want to sit back and think. I once bought a leather chair — one...

Do We Still Care About Printers? | Building a Dream Office

Building a Dream Office. Working in Comfort and Style. Do We Still Care About Printers? Unless you’re dealing with the government or an insurance agency you almost no longer need a printer, except maybe to print out your photographs. I have a printer that is a scanner and fax machine as well. I have yet to use the fax machine part (I don’t even know how I would hook it up). I have mostly used it as a scanner. To me a clean printer is a sign that someone cares about their equipment and wants to use it for...

A Desk Is An Office Unto Itself | Building a Dream Office

Building a Dream Office. Working in Comfort and Style. A Desk Is An Office Unto Itself. Given all the science that has gone into designing restaurant furniture that is both comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time, you would think someone would have invested a few hours in figuring out how to make a productive desk. Instead, we have been confronted with ergonomically designed crap that makes sitting at a desk even more uncomfortable. If you choose a desk that is designed to be intimidating you obvi...

Building a Dream Office. Working in Comfort and Style. No office is complete without all the little things you need to make it useful and functional. And pleasant. You want your dream office to be pleasant. So, for example, you want to learn a little about art. That you can use in your office. Some people love contemporary art. Some people prefer antique (or antique-styled) artwork. I love antique maps, for example. Antique maps are making huge inroads into. Just remember to clean it out every Friday (li...

Ambience: The Atmosphere and Character of My Work Space | Building a Dream Office
http://www.adreamoffice.com/ambience.html
Building a Dream Office. Working in Comfort and Style. Ambience: The Atmosphere and Character of My Work Space. I have seldom had my own private office in a professional setting. On those rare occasions when I was assigned such prestigious quarters I rarely did much to decorate them. I want relatively few distractions when I work. I try to stay focused — until it’s time for me to let my mind wander. Need in your dream office? And, frankly, I feel safer having a large window in front of me because if spac...

What Do You Need In A Computer? | Building a Dream Office
http://www.adreamoffice.com/computers.html
Building a Dream Office. Working in Comfort and Style. What Do You Need In A Computer? A picture of an old computer room. A modern laptop computer can do more than all this hardware was able to do. I am just barely old enough to remember when computer workers did not work at computers. Does that sound strange? When a computer cost $500,000 and not $500 you had to be careful about what people did around these machines. They were big massive iron boxes loaded with electronics and gears and actuall. And peo...
