nah, I'm talking about other couples I've observed. His Lordship and I are good. 'tis why when hunting we had a minimum three bedrooms. we can't even share an office because his is all just "me work from home hence me have office" whereas mine is "I work from home / sew/ d print / scream at video games / build rack servers / swear at things / cats everywhere / it's a fucking muppet workshop."
Bet your office is more interesting. Is his office purely functional in an IKEA bland/greige kind of way?
I will admit he's actually gotten more personality in the new place - mostly because we own so he can punch holes and hang his road bike and shizz. but we don't actually tend to ikea furniture save some weird niche pieces anyway.
I did go much much bolder in my office though, from paint to parts. I'm actually dragging my arse on putting in the network cabling because I'm making a custom wall mount patch panel based on the old servant bells layout. I want pretty dammit, and I shall have it.
Mr Seagoon has a big office, it's a mostly serious place because he is serious about his work and serious about work privacy. Izza job . When he has time he is welcoming .
me, I need another desk, one for writing and one for art and crafts. Tho I have realised that much of my sewing/knitting etc is expression too as I do my own designing .
i have a giant L desk I slapped an extension on for work / fucking around - holds my main rig, work laptop, and a kvm area with room to build servers. Then there's an ancient and oh so sinfully comfy two seater couch thing I've had since last century the cats have entirely claimed, a giant workbench on the other wall, old school corner hutch / shelving for my printer - previously for sewing, but I didn't have enough elbow room so I built a mobile table with foldout wings - and of course my massive fuckoff bookcase for stuff that's not going in the wraparound in the lounge. Still never enough bench space. Never will be
Your office sounds awesome.
