Open Source Office To-Dos

Desks from CB2 arrived today.  (Click here for Office Decor Part 1.)  Assembled one, sans keyboard shelf (cuts a little low IMHO), as well as two of the Eames-inspired (sorry, Vlad …) that arrived from AI Friedman.

Quasi-prioritized next steps:

1. Drop by A.I. Friedman and ask ‘em WTF is up with the second dark brown Lider chair … it wasn’t delivered :(
2. Assemble two other desks
3. Assemble two other blue Liders (and once the second brown one arrives, put that puppy together, too)
4. Finish up setting up the Cubitecs for each workstation
5. Figure out workstation lighting (recommendations?)
6. Buy some felt in a color that’ll coordinate with the workstations
7. Fashion Trig’s styrofoam packing, excess corrugated cardboard, duct tape, and felt into a bulletin board type thing for each desk
8. Find a purty purple-toned wallpaper-thing with which to line Boss Desk drawers, spruce back of short Billy bookshelves, and back of Pax wardrobe thingies
9. Assuming personal effects have been moved into new apartment, skip to Ikea and git two black-brown Pax wardrobe things with flat black-brown doors (not sliding doors), two full shelves and one half-depth shelf, a clothing bar, and a pull-out shelf thing
10. Also git two more short black-brown Billys, one pair of solid doors, and two pairs with glass (or whatever’s cheapest)

I am so excited.  I don’t care that I can’t actually pay for any of this.  It’s important that I invest in an office that looks good because if it ends up that I don’t use it all the time (…) I’ll want to trade desk space for equity in woman-owned/operated start-ups and/or ducats.

Or at least, this is the story I tell myself :)

BTW, the Lider chair may not be Feng Shui-approved (the shoulders are exposed…  a big no no), but dag is it comfy!!!
