My wife and I designed this home office together for our Ebay business. We needed to have two computor stations and had a limited space to work with. Keeping a more open design was important to us because of the paneling and windows. It is very functional for our needs and we were very pleased with the way it turned out.

Very nice! Who gets the window? By the size of the chair I would say it’s you.

Very nice work. But to be honest I couldn’t get any work done in this office. I would spend the day either gazing out the window or simply touching and admiring the office furniture. It is so gorgeous that it is a distraction.

Seriously this is a wonderful home office. I would absolutely love to have something like this in my home.

Great job, everything looks great….come on admit it….your office can’t possibly stay that clean when you using it can it…LOL. Excellent office, although I think I spend more time looking out that great window than working, guess that’s why I’m in a cubical where I work. [smile] Wonderful job.

I like that a lot. The next project at our house is the office. I appreciate all of you that post one as I am looking for ideas for my own. I really like the open shelves, closed door combination.

Great looking office. Looks like you made great use of space and you have a good workflow. My husband and I work from home and our home office will be one of our projects this summer. Our office is 20’ x 24’ and I think we are looking at using one wall … library bookcases to the ceiling with built in desks. Similar to what you have if you would straighten it out.

Tom;

Somehow I missed this when you posted it.

This is really beautiful, both in design and workmanship.

It looks like a very nice and relaxing place to do the dirty work.(paper work, yuk).

Also, welcome to lumberjocks, as I probably missed doing that as well. ( I’ve been busy)

Hi Dusty56

I finish all my cabinets the same way. I stain anything that shows. Drawers and inside of cabinets are natural. I put on two coats of Varmor Poly – semi gloss and use #000 steel between coats. Then I take #000 steel wool and paste wax the cabinet insides, outsides and components. I feel the inside of a cabinet should be as nice as the outside.

Thanks for asking and good luck on your Kitchen!

God Bless

Tom,

I was just burning some time during lunch and looked at your and your wife’s office. Man that’s real nice work.

I like with the message on the trash can.

Talk to you soon buddy.
