Workspace of the Week: Cool simplicity

This week’s Workspace of the Week is xtremetothemax’s compact work and living space. He’s done a great job with such a small space. I love the furniture choices. There’s a lot in there, but it doesn’t look crowded or cluttered. Check out the rest of his pics.

Also, don’t forget that workspaces aren’t just desks. If you’re a cook, it’s a kitchen; if you’re a carpenter, it’s your workbench.

    Very nice arrangement you have there. A great inspiration for what I’d like to have some day. These posts are great.

    I’m fairly new to this simple living concept even though all my life I’ve been an organized person. I do enjoy purging things that I no longer want and have the ability to give them to people who can use them. Anyhow, from what I’ve noticed a lot of ‘uncluttered’ people are Mac users. Just an interesting observation since I’ve also taken a liking to Apple. Coincidence?

    Wow! Thanks so much for posting my photo.

    I’m a SHE though!

    The workspace looks nice! I like it.

    But I have a questions regarding price of being uncluttered.

    I know the desk is a Eames desk, worth over $1000, and the sapien book ’shelf’ is over $200 each— and the Eames chair it worth, I dunno, $500+?
    (Yes, I covet those– hence the fast recognition)

    How do we measure the economic worth of being uncluttered? Most cheap-o desk is less then $400 for chair table, and shelf, but it can never look good as this, and probably be not as easy to organize.

    So my question is: How would one be easily uncluttered and yet be financially viable?

    I love these workspace ideas – I’d love to see some serious non-digital artist’s spaces. It isn’t that hard to keep a computer workstation tidy, really. (ok well maybe it is… I won’t be photographing my desk anytime soon!)

    How do you apply these principles to an oil-painter’s workspace, or for a real challenge, a mixed-media artist? (all those fibers and papers ….)
