home office excitement

[snugglekitty]

Today water_childe came over to help me set up my home office.

I'm still trying to decide where the table should go. Where we put it originally is kind of against my computer table, perpendicular to the back wall where the closet is (for those of you who have seen my apartment). That's an okay space. mrpet has suggested that I swap the table with my computer. My computer would be against the back wall, or alongside the back wall.

I wish I had some way of figuring out how things would fit and what it would look like without moving all the furniture a bunch more times. I've never been good at that sort of thing.

I think I'm going to leave it in spot number one and clean the closet so the door will close. (Yes. The door doesn't currently close.) I suspect that may make me feel better about it.

Edit: Hey, now I have somewhere to put all my birth stuff! Oh, right, that was the point. :)

If you get a piece of graph paper and draw the space you can make little cut outs of the furniture to scale and move them around. Just pick a suitable scale factor, like 6"/square or 12"/square on the graph paper.

Hi... this entry's kind of old, but I thought I'd respond anyway. I'm Becke, by the way. I saw your posts on meta_trade and thought you sounded like an interesting person, and someone I might like to get to know. Hope you don't mind me checking out your entries. ^_^ Perhaps you might permit me to add you to my friendslist?

Anyway, my boyfriend has a method of finding the best way to rearrange furniture without moving a stick of it: he measures the room, plots the distances on graph paper, and then measures all the furniture and creates scale (two-dimensional, of course) replicas out of more graph paper. Then he moves the little paper replicas around on the paper with the room dimensions on it. It makes it easy to try new combinations, to adjust locations, and to see whether or not something will fit in a certain place, all without any heavy lifting.

Nerds are wonderful, aren't they? ^_^ Just thought I'd share that idea.

... >_< And now I feel silly, because I neglected to read the other comment from someone else that says exactly the same thing before I posted my much more rambling explanation. *sigh* Sorry.

That's okay. :) I have a geeky husband, so he usually beats other people to the punch.

The table has settled in its original location. :) Once I cleaned up a little more in the area, I felt better about it.

Sure, you can friend me. :) Just be advised, I don't friend people unless I have met them in person.
