Re: If you could design the perfect office...

My dream office would be more about placement than design.  

As Elizabeth Lawrence did, I would like to do too.  

A view has become more important to me than the things around me.  At one time, I was satisfied with the warmth books brought me, now I want a view; a view of my garden.  

With my desk parallel to a window, I would welcome the light like Elizabeth Lawrence did.  Through a slice of light, I could witness the change of seasons, welcoming color to move me. With the shadows of the mullions, I could tell the time.   With a view, I can pause and stare as the wildlife sip nectar from a flower.  

Positioned to look out, it wouldn’t matter what color I painted my office, or if the furniture went well together.  My piles of “research” behind me could remain; they may look like a mess to the untrained eye, but for me, they are accessible.   My back would become a wall to the inside world, a signal no one is allowed to enter.  

Perhaps I’m just at a time of my life when more is really less.
