Workspace of the Week: Spring Green
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Since76’s serene green home office:
I really enjoy this office, and want to share Since76s explanation of the space:
Here’s a partial shot of my home office (photos in this set were taken for my Declutter The Mess Under Your Desk! blog post).
The desk is a Palermo office desk purchased from Cost Plus World Market (I believe they’re no longer sold). The Logitech V200 cordless mouse and M$ Natural Ergonomic Keyboard are tucked away on a sliding keyboard shelf - a feature I love about this Palermo desk. BTW, the mouse was purchased for $10 after rebate from Buy.com and the keyboard was purchased for less than $20 new off of eBay.
All cables and power bricks have been hidden behind and underneath the desk as shown in this photo and this photo.
The monitor is a Samsung 173P mounted on an Ergotron Neo-Flex LCD arm which I purchased on eBay for $20 refurbished.
The shelf is from IKEA, but I can’t for the life of me remember the model - I would personally recommend the BILLY shelf system if you’re looking. The storage box on top of the shelf is the IKEA KASSETT, and on top of that rests the FM3 Buddha Machine.
BTW, this is the way my office looks on a regular basis - I’ve tried my best to minimize any clutter and the only thing that is visible is my MacBook Pro (not shown) which connects to the Samsung monitor via DVI.
Thank you, Since76, for sharing your space with us.

Workspace of the Week: Bedroom office
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Barb_McMahon’s sun drenched bedroom office:
This space has so much character, personality, and sense of calm that I imagine a bedroom could still be a sanctuary with it being present. Usually, I’m opposed to having offices in bedrooms because I feel that the purpose of a bedroom is for rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. However, nothing about this office screams distraction or annoyance. I really like the old window frame around the dry erase board to make it feel warm instead of stale. Barb, this is an inspiring space! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Workspace of the Week: Door desk office
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Matt.Kolt’s do-it-yourself door desk office:
The desk is made from a recycled door and sits on two sets of legs purchased from Ikea. A piece of Lexan (polycarbonate resin) sits on top of the door to create a smooth work surface. I also like how Matt has made use of this space, putting the desk immediately below a sky light. He’s attached a basket to act as a desk drawer to the underside of the door to add functionality. It’s a well designed, organized space. Very inspiring!

Workspace of the Week: More closet workspaces
Last week after posting about the closet office, two more amazing workspace closet solutions appeared in the Unclutterer flickr pool. The first is Kimberly’s sewing station and the second is Adam’s workshop:
I think that both images speak for themselves: efficient, organized, and with the closing of a door the entire workspace disappears. Adam has a blog post explaining how he created his space up on his site. Fantastic solutions, Kimberly and Adam — thank you for sharing them with us!

Workspace of the Week: Closet office
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Mlle_Bleue’s closet office:
The aesthetics of this office aren’t what interest me, but rather where it is. As best I can tell, the whole office is actually in a closet or a tiny nook. Pretty cool, right?! The shallow shelf on the left wall increases the functionality of the space, frees up room on the desk, and keeps notes at eye level. Another nice attribute of the closet office is that when it’s time to stop working, you just close the door. I also like the idea of setting up an office like this temporarily in the closet of a baby’s room so that a new parent could work close by while baby is sleeping. Thank you, Mlle_Bleue for the photo submission.

Workspace of the Week: Briefcase office
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Chuck_Notorious’ Gig Bag:
I’m not convinced that a soft-sided briefcase is the best solution for electrical equipment, but I really like the inspiration behind Chuck_Notorious’ design. In one bag, Chuck has assembled everything needed for his job, and the bag is where the equipment permanently lives. He’s not pulling things out of the bag, he’s using the bag as is. Genius! If you have a job where travel is an integral aspect of what you do, consider building yourself a gig bag or briefcase office. Make it so you don’t have to pack and unpack everywhere you go. This is efficient and well organized. Great job, Chuck!

Workspace of the Week: The non-office office
This week’s Workspace of the Week is TheHappy1’s non-office office:
I like this office because it can fit into any living space of a home. The design elements might not be your style, but the concept can work for anyone. It has a few office items — stapler, pen cup, computer, paper shredder, filing basket — but otherwise it’s just a small table and a chair in a room. The wireless printer sits in another area behind a cabinet door, out of sight. If you’re someone who doesn’t have a whole room to devote to an office, this is a great, uncluttered alternative. Thank you, TheHapp1 for your submission!

Workspace of the Week: Eames inspiration
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Xtremetothemax’s mid-century Eames office:
One of the things that is unique about this office is that it is completely void of a computer. The Eames desk and storage unit, in combination with the other design elements, work to create a mid-century, clutter-free wonderland. There are so many unique touches in this space, like the game board on top of the filing cabinet and the vertical and horizontal book shelves. Maybe its my love affair with 20th century design, but I look at this office and can’t stop imagining how much I would love to work here.

Workspace of the Week: All about zen
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Normaniac’s zen office:
Filling his space with greenery and glass, Normaniac’s office is tranquil, free of clutter, and awe-inspiring. This office looks like a place where it would be easy to keep your mind focused on the big picture and calmly move from task to task. A space like this makes working from home a very appealing option.

Workspace of the Week: Seeing double
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Blupics’ two person office:
Now that you’ve been blown away by the first image, check out this one featuring all of the cords, drives, and peripherals attached beautifully to the underside of the desk. Wow!
I share my home office with my husband and we have often spoken about the space we might save if we had a single desk for both of us. Finding this image showed me that a shared, single desk could be a technical and uncluttered possibility. Thank you, Blupic, for showing us all an uncluttered, space-saving, office setup choice. It’s impressive.

Workspace of the Week: A transformed room
This week’s Workspace of the Week is AimeeRoo’s transformed office:
The area has purpose, structure, and space to move and be creative. What is best of all, is that it used to look like this:
AimeeRoo committed herself to shaping up the space, and even did it without spending a single dollar on the redesign. Other angles of the room include a dedicated arts and craft space and her washer and dryer. Before, it was a disorganized room, and now it’s a wonderful, transformed office. Great work, AimeeRoo!

Workspace of the Week: Repurposed artist’s studio
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Vitamin Design’s artist workbench:
I particularly appreciate how Vitamin Design has repurposed an Ikea kitchen island into a standing art desk. The stainless steel that is helpful in a kitchen is fabulous when working with paint. It’s nicely organized, to boot!

Workspace of the Week: Garage storage for professional photographer
This week’s Workspace of the Week is professional photographer Raisinhell’s equipment storage in the garage:
Raisinhell has a number of pictures up in the flickr pool, but the one that speaks to me the most is the garage image posted here. The equipment is stored where it is needed (next to cars), it is grouped by type, the heaviest items are at waist height or lower, and it occupies a space (between stalls) that would otherwise go unused. It’s a wonderful utilization of space and nothing can get lost. Bravo!

Workspace of the Week: Winter white wonderland
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Accolady’s office in white:
Accolady’s office is tidy and serene with splashes of color for interest. One of my favorite aspects of the office is her corner where she stores notebooks and her Kodak camera collection:
Be sure to check out her other picture in the flickr pool to see wonderful details like the small hook she has under the desk for her purse. The space is truly fantastic.

Workspace of the Week: Black and white class and glass
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Cramerica’s office in white, black, class and glass:
What speaks to me about this office is that the choices of white, black, and glass objects make it so that the work, in this case the computer monitors, are at the center of attention. There isn’t anything visually cluttering up the space or distracting from the work. A person could really think in here. Additionally, with the desk and light both being Ikea pieces, I like knowing that other readers could recreate this design without feeling too hefty of a hit in their pocketbooks.
