The COVID 19 Diaries: Working from Home in the Master Bedroom

Well as we had discussed earlier when I was on a long job I setup an office situation in our master bedroom to keep the office as a playroom for Wally and Alice during the day. This was our setup when I was on a 2 week job and on my current 7 week job (where I've been promoted to producer!). This works out well because being in the back of the house keeps me a little more isolated from the noises of the family during the day and then I have my own bathroom.

Ok but first lookit how cute and cozy our room is right now.

After my trip to the cutest cabin for my solo retreat I came back determined to find an identical or close to it fuzzy bedspread for our bed and I love it so much. It just makes you wanna get in bed.

So this seems a little odd but to keep a clear walkway, I setup the desk at the foot of the bed. This gives me a nice view out the two windows and I can see when the family sneaks in on me.

The desk is teeny and just enough room for my elevated laptop situation.

There's probably way too much stuff on it but I deem them all essential.

This little desk set was on sale at Ikea and I needed to justify buying it by saying "it'll work well when I setup the office in the master bedroom". 

I dunno how other people work but I need pens, papers, post-its, chapstick, lotion, and water. ALWAYS AT ALL TIMES NEARBY OR ELSE I FALTER.

During this pandemic I updated the office chair from the one I had before to this nifty swivel-y and pink velvet-y chair.

We made the decision to go for the chair upgrade it when we realized the work from home temporary thing was going to be long term.

The angle from here makes it look way more professional. Look at my giant bookcase of books! Oh and the desk itself we got off Amazon and it folds down and I put it in our coat closet when I'm in between jobs. I really needed it to fold away and looked at options for WEEKS until I landed on this little sweet thing. 

Not bad for a 'temporary' space right? 

It's working out well so far. We're constantly adjusting things around here with the kids, the house, and our separations of duties. This pandemic has made Matt & I a really great team. I mean, we always were but I'm really just proud of us. Yay team.
