Desktop solutions

Just as we are looking to remove the desks, to replace the working space to a hang out – room instead – I began to look for various desk solutions. I’m not even interested in keeping the workplace since we don’t use it, as it was intended. We carry our laptops around the house, so nowadays there’s not always a need for a specific place for work – not even to store things. Not when you have a hard drive!

But I like the idea of desktop solutions, so this is a post in that theme today, after all. Once I had put together all images, I realised that all desks are straight without any frills or decorations. Well, it is what it is – my preferences!

Hej friends,

I went back to work recently after a long break. It has been pure pleasure to have time for nothing & everything, to be in charge of my own time – no appointments, schedules or any musts. It’s a very inspiring & relaxing way of living. But nothing lasts for ever & reality catches up sooner or later. On the other hand, I’m very grateful for having had the opportunity to take a long break. It’s unusual to be able to forget all demands & requirements which constantly exist in our everyday life…& do what I want to do. Well, I guess my darling have enjoyed it to the fullest too. A clean house to come home to, laundry taken care of…meals ready…to simply just sit down at the dinner table, with welcoming candlelights, without having to think about things that needs to be done. It’s been a blessing for the whole family.

I very much enjoyed my time at home. Something I wouldn’t have believed if someone had told me that some couple of years ago. I’ve learnt to value my time & each precious moment. I’d like to think that this break has helped me to fine tune certain things that was in need of development. I guess that time will tell.

So dear friends, to celebrate a new stage of life, I’ve done a post about work spaces. I’m afraid that some of you might think that these are out of time & out of place. Rightly perhaps, but I guess that this style is always going to be appealing to a number of people. I might need to follow up with a modern version for all fo you who don’t 🙂
