Well, obviously its personal taste, but as I said, I'm a minimalist and my office reflects that. I believe in self motivation... I don't need posters to remind me that success is good. :winkwink:

As for bars, sound rooms, blah blah blah... If I don't use it to make money, I don't need it in my office. If I'm going to entertain guests for the evening, I have a full wet bar in my basement, complete with game room... so if I need to take a break I just go down there. But in the office it's all business. Except of course when I come round here. Then there's SOME fun involved. :winkwink: The view I have from my window is enough to keep me relaxed. I dont even hang "art" on the walls. They're just painted light gray and left alone...

I used to rent office space when I had several employees. But now I handle 99% of operations from my one-room home office.

The key for me is space. I wouldn't wanna be trapped in a 10x10 room all day. I've got lots of empty space here. Gives me the feeling of "endless possibilities". :winkwink:

Nice.

Cheers,
Matt

that is very nice frank..... I like it... :thumbsup

I love brick walls. So Cal is all stucco and drywall its horrible.

This is all I got

Frank, that office space in incredible! :)

I'm stuck in the 3rd bedroom in my house (one of the reasons I rented here)... three desks, a bookcase jammed in one corner, 4 printers, fax machine, telephones, music CDs all over the place (neat is not my strong suit, except in my specific "work area". I even took the closet doors down so I'd have space for the file cabinet and office supply storage. The nicest feature is the huge window, but I usually keep the blind down so I don't get the reflection in the monitor.

As for decor, there are posters all over the walls (NASCAR and Superbikes, mostly), crystals and candles sitting around, a few plants, and the cat ventures in and out at will, as does my teenage son. I tried the "stripped down and bare" approach, but I spend 16+ hours a day in here, and I started feeling like I was in a jail cell.

I also have a "land locked" computer (no net connection) in the livingroom for those times when my son complains that he hasn't seen me in three or four days :)

all that stuff is in my living room, not my bedroom/office...:1orglaugh

As far as my work area, I took over one wall in our bedroom, next to the door so that I can look down the hall into the living room and keep an eye on my daughter. I have a big IKEA-ish rack desk, and it looks like a novelty store exploded all over it: postcards, action figures, Happy Meal toys, little stuffed animals. My 17" monitor is set at a weird angle so that I can sit parallel to the desk with my feet up on a stool, and I put the mouse/pad on a barstool next to my right hand and plop the keyboard in my lap.

I have to have it set up so that I suffer the least pain from sitting still for so long, and the desk top is littered with med bottles, tylenol, the ever-present IcyHot, an infrared massager, heating pads and all kinds of hand/wrist braces and knee braces. So it not only looks like a novelty store exploded, but possibly a medical-supply place as well...

i got a bed, two computers, laptop,1 bong, 2 vid cams, a treasure chest full of dildos and lingerie, cables and wires all over, pic of Stevie Ray Vaughn play guitar at "antones" (for all you austinites) and a picture of clint eastwood....only thing missing is a grow room

amputate... you're a voyeur in the making.. maybe you already are one :)

sort of I guess... :winkwink:

I like seeing how other people have their workspaces set up.....

I agree. I enjoyed the "post your office" thread a couple of months back.

I've got a TV and a fridge. :thumbsup

a surfboard and a bunch of other neat stuff

at a aglance
tv, guitars, midi keyboard, hydorgen peroxide, paper towels (nutwipe), tools, stereo, magazines, planning paper, note paper, 1 telephone portable, 1 telephone cellular, misc debris(wires screws, diskettes, dollar bills, change) waste basket, futon, pictures of friends and family

you should ask people to post pictures of their bedrooms! see how all the pimps & hos really live..

my apartment/bedroom makes me look like i'm still in college, with all the futons and mismatched furniture. i'm ghetto! no pics currently.

and my office makes me look like a pig.. chocolate covered raspberry sticks, teddy grahams, potato chips, blueberry muffins, ...

I rent an appartment which I converted to an office....
This means I have a fully equiped kitchen, bathroom with tub,
the 2 bedrooms I use as office space, a living room to relax
including big screen TV and DvD player.

In my office I have ocean view....downstairs we have a huge
community pool with a very nice garden with tropical
plants/flowers and lots of palm trees. The appartment is on
a mountain so it has very spacious views.


Rent: $500 per month excluding bills and 512Kbit/sec ADSL

I´ve got all kinds of diplomas I have downloaded from net and then I have instructions what to do/say if somebody calls and says that there is a bomb in our office. :thumbsup

Where is San Fulgencio? Like in which direction from Alicante city?

Wow fucking awesome deal! I would love to work there... mountain ocean view!? $500/month? Damn... what the fuck am I doing in the USA?!?!?!!!! I gotta start traveling more.

I bet your the most highly educated on GFY!:thumbsup

I didn't move to Spain without a reason Pete.....b.t.w. I still have
a nice workspace available :winkwink:

DynaMite

monster size bed, and a laptop...

all the office i need

pool table, dart board, soda machines, and leather sofas,
20 or so offices, dinnig room, marketing room, streaming room, oh.. and a couple computers too....

I work at home, but my essential non-essentials are: teapot and teacup, music cds and a lit candle.

On the walls I have some tasteful framed b/w nudes of men and women.

Oh yeah, almost forgot the most important part: three different computer chairs: one straight back chair, one computer stool and one more comfy chair. I switch them out (wireless keyboard and mouse help) whenever I start to get stiff from sitting so long so that I don't have to actually take a break. How addicted is that? :1orglaugh

San Fulgencio is 35Km south of Alicante....will move to Elche in
January.

My Office is on the top of Ciudad Quesada (Rojales)

DynaMite :thumbsup

Mah old man used to say: "Son, no matter how good you are, there's always someone better than you"

I have several plants..a large ficus tree..decent quality stereo..some original artwork..a highly motivational pen & ink *poster* and floor to ceiling corner windows with 2nd story views to the countryside facing north and westhttp://www.mintesbabes.com/mintesoffice.JPG

57" HDTV, Satellite, PS2, DVD, Treadmill and my road bike, All kinds of music equipment, some pictures and other stuff that takes up space.

Ah cool, I lived around those parts for a few years, before moving to Puerto Banus, Marbella. Ciudad Quesada is nice, definitely the nicest place to live around those parts.

Elche? You got a spanish gf?

I have a notebook and my fluffer girl!:thumbsup

Nice Office Frank, we're actually looking for a place like that. Brick walls, loft type of place. Where are you anyways?

You know, it depends on each person. Myself, I like feeling very comfortable in my office space. I bring in a bunch of crap. Being that I used to work in the video game industry, I have a lot of little things relating to video games and stuff. Just little toys and stuff. I'm kinda debating to bring in a PS2 or an XBox with a small 14" or 20" TV. More for a lunch thing, and I find that it helps me break out a bit when doing those long nights. Take a breather, play a little DOA3 on the XBox, then get back to work with the MP3s playing in the background. Helps me work for longer periods. Doesn't feel like I'm missing much "socially".

My favorite movie is Scarface so I've got a large poster of Al Pacino standing around with a gun to motivate me.

I also got a stack of games lying around, as well as my work material (marketing books, articles, etc that I use as reference material).. I seriously need plants though, this place is too static right now

I also got a big fridge near my desk, gotta keep workin' without having to run down anytime I want a bite or drink
