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:
- Drop by A.I. Friedman and ask ‘em WTF is up with the second dark brown Lider chair … it wasn’t delivered :(
- Assemble two other desks
- Assemble two other blue Liders (and once the second brown one arrives, put that puppy together, too)
- Finish up setting up the Cubitecs for each workstation
- Figure out workstation lighting (recommendations?)
- Buy some felt in a color that’ll coordinate with the workstations
- Fashion Trig’s styrofoam packing, excess corrugated cardboard, duct tape, and felt into a bulletin board type thing for each desk
- 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
- 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
- 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!!!
