This will have to do for now though. As long as I have a Mac to work with, the designs will be done

I had no idea you were so tall. I’ve seen some of your videos, but you’re always sat down, lol.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Kyle…

I think the “under the stairs” workspace is genius. Although it feels a little too cramped for my liking (seeing as I’m 6’4″) I like the idea of it being you’re own little space to focus and design your heart out. The sound proofing panels you installed are a great idea as well.

Thanks for sharing. Take care.

I suspect your dog likes being around Mom & kids, too…isn’t there always food to be gotten from floor/fingers with small children?

There’s a photo of him in my “about me page” if you’re interested…

I have a dog too, but I don’t even think he can fit in this space I have, hehe. I think as long as you have a Mac, half the problem is already sorted

Thanks for your thoughts…

My current home office has morphed 3x. Originally, a small den, we installed shelves and desktop with computer tray in closet for my husband’s office/guest room. Since it’s on the ground floor, I decorated it with paint texture/wallpaper/chair rail. (Went smoothly, except for the ‘little’ studfinder/water heater mishap when installing chair rail )

Next up, room was co-opted by daughter #1 who no longer wanted to share a room w/sister. This resulted in constant struggle to keep the room ‘presentable’ enough for main floor. Note: teenagers rooms’ and ‘public view’ do NOT go together!

When our basement addition (another DYI story!) bedroom was no longer needed for my elderly father, D#1 campaigned to move downstairs. Hmmmm…teenage daughter in own ‘apartment’ with separate access…? (Not an easy choice!) However, she won and musical rooms ensued…

Now it’s my office. Moved in ‘real’ furniture adapted for files with baskets. Squeezed in drafting table. Set up iMac in original converted closet/desk. Husband widened slide-out tray to hold Wacom tablet and keyboard–sweet! I’ve lost my garden view, but reduced eye strain b/c window is now on opposite side of room, away from computer.

Now, all I need is an exhaust fan under the desk. (My two dogs hang in the office with me all day.) And, well…the older one farts. A lot!

Good luck on your future DIY projects–custom is addictive! ‘Shop’ at the top stores…’purchase’ direct online…and save $$$.

Nice work !

I’m looking forward to reading your book

So the only worry is finding a decent Edinburgh flat for our budget. Fingers crossed, though. Prices seem better than they were when I was last living there.

However, now the foam is on, there’s no echo and my voice sounds more natural, with no sound reverberation from under the staircase. It will also make any voice-over I do in iMovie sound better, too.

Thanks for your kind words Chad, and thanks for stopping by

Thanks for your comment.

@Andrew → Fortunately, mine has nearly stopped growing as winter approaches. I blocked paved my patio and built a brick wall last year, so I can do the paving, but doing it is very time consuming. Good luck with yours…

@Rob → Hope the move works out well for you. I’ve only ever been on the Tube a handful of times, and never saw anyone looking happy except for tourists!

I’ve got to pave my back yard asap. The grass seems to grow about a foot a month in Melbourne. I never want to mow i again.
