 Whether you have the joy of working from home, or like a space to do your personal filing after your 9-5, a home office is getting a lot more importance in today's functioning home. How much space you require and the tasks involved with your personal office will determine your options. Architect Kevin Deevey needed a home work space that could take him away from his modest sized home and 2 small children. Just steps away in his own backyard, Kevin came up with this fantastic 10' x 10' office. It houses his computer and drawing board and looks smart with a commercial curtain wall front allowing plenty of light. 
If you do not have an entire room to dedicate to your home office, a closet space works very nicely! Especially since a closed closet door or curtain conceals this valuable space very well. This light and airy closet workspace was created in a San Francisco home; open white shelves, and an uncluttered desk make this home office a great tucked away gem. |

Since “The Office” is back and Michael Scott fans can rejoice, Lets feature a fabulous office shall we? This Four seasons Sales Office was designed by golden boy Brian Gluckstein of Gluckstein Design Planning Inc. Gosh I love him! And purely in the professional sense guys! He really does have a Midas touch, whether it be through a phenomenal mastery of rich neutrals or furniture selection. 
Do you notice all the framed panels on the walls? –Brian’s millwork details are amazing and so subtle, he knows that architectural details are sometimes more important than the decor you put in the room after. You know the feeling you get when you walk into an old building that is unfurnished, but beautiful because of all the cornices, crown moldings and ornate window transoms, the ones that elude to nothing but the best; like oversized oil paintings, antique chaises and Italian fabrics? -That is a Gluckstein design ladies and gentlemen. This office design won a 2007 Award of Merit by ARIDO. |

 We all have those spaces in our homes that we have to get creative in order to utilize, and I esteem this dormer as the best use of dead space! Dormers can be a tricky bit of business to get right when attempting to be deemed as functional. Designer Collen McGill’s attic is featured in House and Home’s March 2008 magazine, and it is a fresh and tidy work of organizational art! With a wrap-around desk in a crisp white, and storage and shelves under the slopes of the ceiling, it certainly would be a cozy and refreshing place to work. Well done.

More and more people are working from home, studios and corner offices are becoming domesticated and I love it! I am all about organization and in order to stay in top form, your workspace should provide a clear and functional space for all your hard work. Enter the Bedford Project Table, it fits all the criteria with two 3x3 Bookcases for storage on both ends and a huge tabletop. The tabletop (measuring at 55” wide and 38” deep) is definitely large enough for all your crafts/ serious paper work files/ photo shoot layouts/ …you get the picture. The desk is at a kitchen-countertop height, so pick out some swiveling high stools where you can perch with your home-brewed coffee from 8-5. Available in other colors; antique white, espresso, and mahogany stain. |
