Re: Show off your workspace!
Well... I have a new workspace. It isn't ready for pics yet, but it is functional.
I converted a closet into an office.
In the family room there was a 3'x9' closet. I cleared out all my boxes (mostly books... I think they breed if you leave them in dark, quiet places...) and junk. I have a lovely little desk at one end. and a simple entertainment center at the other (looks like an extra deep bookcase... my printer is on the top of it.) I'm still trying to think of a way to arrange things so I can fit a filing cabinet in here.
I still need to decorate. I've some lovely corner shelves I plan to hang up the wall above my desk, and some tapestries and art I need to pick through. A rug would be nice. Corkboards and calanders are needed. And a lamp (or two.)
This workspace gives me a quiet place to work (I own a home with my mother. Because she uses a wheelchair, most guests are entertained upstairs.) It is also one I can shut the cats out of. VERY important, if I don't want them sleeping atop the printer. With the closet doors open, it isn't confining (I'm writting from it now.)
I also have hopes that I'll be able to use it to keep the business end of things better organized... at the least less scattered. If I can get reciepts and such in here, it will be VERY hard for them to go far  .
I'll add some pictures once I've decorated.

For good or ill, luck and opportunity are 90%+ preparation...

And you know, maybe you're right about books breeding.....I seem to have more of them than last I checked..... oh well, you can never have too many books!
