I'm just the opposite, when I'm inside I like to block out as much of the outside world as possible. Altho that might change when the outside world is more pleasant to look at.

I like the idea of a corner workstation but my problem is most of them seem to come with the hutch attached and not optional, and the center space for monitors is always way too small for what I have. The one I linked to is the only one I've seen that has a space that is big enough... it's 27" wide at the narrowest part in the front, which would give me an inch of leeway on either side.

And I like that the space underneath on each side is open and not filled up with drawers and stuff, it leaves room for the stuff I want to put there and more leg room. The desk is cheap enough that I can buy drawers and a file cabinet and have the configuration I want for those things instead of being stuck with some manufacturer's design.

The bedroom furniture looks awesome. I'm sure you'll find the perfect bedding to go with it.
Yeah, I really like it - in the pictures, at least. It's quite a drive down to the closest store, it's in northern KY. But I have a friend who lives near it and she's the one who suggested I check it out, because their prices are usually so good. So I'll probably go down there and she and I will have a day of shopping which will be fun. Once i see it in person I'll know for sure. I can't really do anything until I have the place anyway. I just hope they deliver up here and that the cost of that isn't outrageous.

How on earth do you guys do more than one thing at the same time?
Last night when I was posting in this thread I was also surfing shopping sites in another tab, listening to Beethoven on headphones, and watching The Two Towers on TV with the sound muted. Oh and for a brief time I was also getting up every ten minutes or so to set up a box and toss some stuff in it.

What can I say, I'm a born multi-tasker!
