Hi friends! Do any of you utilize a room separator for your home office? My entire front room of my house is my office, but I’d like a room separator to help me with visual distractions. Mind sharing your space for inspiration?

In January 2020 my husband and I both had a great idea to turn an extra guest bedroom into a home a office we could both use when either works from home (I travel for work and at that time he was at office 5 days a week.) We decided to use a dining room table as the desk, that way we could both look out the front window ( other side of room) and neither of us had to look at a wall. We drilled a hole through the center of the table so that all the cords could run under the desk and not on top. All office equipment is in the closet connected by Wi-Fi to lessen the clutter.

Nah I just shifted my desk so I'm nestled in between wall and desk. Room separators seem a bit gauche.

Thank you, but I am looking for folks who have it. I love the idea. :)

This is the view we both wanted. It was great for 2 months until COVID lockdown, then both full time at home for rest of 2020, so sitting across from one another, both managing a team and on a call constantly didn’t work well to say the least 🤣

So I created an office in our main guest bedroom. I also added a large monitor so guest can use the office space if needed when they stay with us, since so many are virtual these days.

Check Pinterest. This might be something you can actually do yourself without a ton of experience.

Thanks for the suggestion. I use Pinterest frequently. :)

Oh wow!! Your space looks so comfy and cozy. My wife and I both work from home as well, but we’re in the beginning stages of looking for our forever home. A window to the outside is a must have. Thanks for the inspiration!

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Is there any one time home office setup allowance still provided for recent new joiners?

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

Thoughts on what to do?

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?
