Uni help - home office environments...

ooh la la, 18 August, 2009 at 13:36 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 21

Firstly, thank you so much to those who helped last week, by completing the online survey I created. (As I have said before, I will be going back to University in September to complete my third year, studying Product and Furniture Design.)

I have another question / request please....

For my research now, I would like to collect photographs of people's home offices / office areas. I am particularly looking at storage areas and shelving, but would also like to look at the overall usage of space and room proportions. I'd love to receive photographs of your office room, office area (in the corner of another room) or where you work within your home. Please don't worry if you think that your room is too messy or too tidy, the photographs will all be perfect for my research!

I understand that this is quite a personal thing, asking you to take photographs of your own office environment, so if you would prefer to email them to me, rather than post them on here, my email address is *********@**********.***

Thank you so, so much as I understand that this is more of a kerfuffle than just filling in a survey.

    This is mine (when I haven't got papers out everywhere).

    HTH

    ETA: you can see the corner of my filing cabinet to the right and there is a tall bookcase behind the door.

    Waaaaaaahhhh! LG, that's what mine would look like if I didn't have a very anal H complaining about how messy I am.

    Just taken some pics now. I have worked at home for 100% of the time for 5 years, and my OH also shares the study as required. I haven't made any effort to tidy up - this really is how I work! I'm leaving the world of home-working (well 80% leaving!) in two weeks when I start a new job.





    As you can see, it's well-equipped with the essentials of vintage radios, plants and cuddly toys, tee hee!

    I know I have some pictures somewhere of my office from the flat we just left, but I can't find them at the moment. Think they may be on the PC rather than the laptop. Here's some pictures of my current space. This is temporary as we're living with Mum for a while, so it's a little more cluttered than it would normally be!




    I have a three drawer filing cabinet as well, but that wouldn't fit in this room so is on the landing. I also have a couple of bookcases that are in storage and the stuff that would have been on them normally is in boxes in the garage.

    I can't wait until our house is ready and I have my own space again.

    This is my husband's workspace at the moment. We both work from home but I'm on maternity leave. I'm due back to work in 2 weeks, so then we'll shift the pile of toys somewhere else and my desk goes alongside his. I can take more pictures then of our joint workspace if that would be useful?

    I'm not sure how much help this will be ? (click it for notes).

    I'll try and take a photo of our real, indoor study tomorrow for you.
