The fixtures that are there are contractor grade and not as dressy as a nice chandy! I love the chairs also and am going to have to work up to this dream space...LOL. You and I will need to find another blogger to live vicariously through for a while…LOL<br /><br />Girl, I’m so sorry, I know that was a mess and it does seem to take a while to get things back in place from something like that. I want to get a tankless water heater as soon as we can. They take up so much less space and are not as much trouble, but just cost $$$. <br />Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-42598387239491029372015-09-07T20:23:58.150-05:002015-09-07T20:23:58.150-05:00That's going to be a great office!

We had to replace out water heater and two walls..,which were built 6 months prior, had to be removed. They still haven't gone back up and it's been six months since the water heater was replaced.

I bet you could write a book about stress and (hopefully) relief ;).<br /><br />When we had our business, toward the end I worked from home more often than not and although it was super convenient the trade off is little or no interaction with people. After a while that gets old so I know what you mean. <br /><br />WeWork contacted me a few months ago also so I looked them up and was impressed with their conceot. They have great locations in the cities where they're set up too. Like you, I prefer an office that doesn't look so utilitarian and 'office like'. I love what you've curated!

Now to find them at a reasonable price! :-) I would definitely like to do something like that strictly for small businesses. WeWork has office space available for all size businesses, but I think the smaller businesses get left out in the cold sometimes.

A change of pace and scenery really helps clear your mind and give you a different perspective on things. LOL @ hubby on sofa! The internet will be a problem at the new house…we are going to have to figure something out. Since it is a new subdivision, none of the companies will come into the subdivision until there are more houses. Right now, there are only a few and they don’t think it’s worth their while. My home office may actually be McDonald’s in the evenings…LOLBenitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-65030380019589623572015-08-31T19:56:06.799-05:002015-08-31T19:56:06.799-05:00I love the desk and chair.

I do all my blog writing, Etsy and email work on the couch with a tiny table for my laptop. My "office" is occasionally invaded by my husband when he wants to sit on the couch :-) P.S.

Thankfully, our realtor blessed out the lender and gave the builder's agent a good earful as well. They have made this process as miserable as one can be!

In Dallas, they had something similar, but the space was a little overpriced. WeWork seems to have some great pricing. And you are so right....with it in the house, you never escape and always seem to be working. With an outside office, you can leave work behind and relax at home.<br /><br />Thank you so much Dewena! I hope I'm able to incorporate most of these things into the home office space, and yes, I will be using my photography as the wall art. :-) I have so much of it that I will be able to rotate it out on a regular basis...LOL. <br /><br />Perhaps so...giving my time to decorate the house in my head before actually getting there to do it in person.

I'm going to keep watching to see when they open space here. Thanks so much for the well wishes on the house, but it was a no go... more problems with paperwork with the lender and builder and the AC unit was frozen.
