I dream of having my own home office someday. The location and design of it is still very fuzzy.

Right now, my desk sits in a closet in the playroom. I can closely monitor my kids while I type away at my computer. I can also lock the closet doors so I don’t need to worry about them getting into my desk when I am not in the room.

Over 90% of the time, I am not working at my desk. I may be at the kitchen table, outside on the patio, or hiding on the floor of my bedroom. My kids are 1 and 4 (happy birthday, Ian) and their play still needs to be supervised for the most part.

But some day, I will actually be able to come out of the closet. =-) So where should I put my office?

  • Convert the playroom into a office/den. Work there during school days.
  • Use the back room (currently used for storage) in the basement. I would get the least interruptions.
  • Have a carpenter build a desk in the kitchen. Best view of the backyard.
  • Use a beautiful antique armoire desk (front folds up) my father has but doesn’t use that can be put in the dining or living room.

Right now I am preferring the very quiet back room in my basement.

Here are some sources I have discovered while I search. Feel free to leave comments with other links. =-)
