    Now Tony has to move larger items between calls and see if anyone notices.

    A previous boss used to have a range of books behind them & his team were all looking to see what titles they were.

    He was a marketing genius, but had a prominent Marketing for Dummies book always visible.
    I have some pretty racy books actually, Matt, and am hoping nobody has read all the titles

    Haha brilliant, love that!

    I’m actually preferring my curtain drawn and using ambient outside light through the fabric & the light bar. I’m south facing in my office window so when it’s bright it’s a shocker, but can’t rotate the house in the afternoon unfortunately.

    Finally...

    Painted what for now is an accent wall. Likelihood is that I'll paint all the walls with this colour but I just want to make sure that I'm happy to do that.

    Sorry, missed this!

    I’m loving the view from your seat, it’s perfect & the speakers, lights and monitor set up is something I’m jealous of. Especially the twin lights!

    The colour is cracking, different and yet familiar, could spend hours in there without issue - wondering if mine is now too plain / light.

    However if the whole office gets painted the same, there is no feature wall. Not a bad thing, as I think the colour is a lovely place to work from.

    You’ve created a lovely work / home place that is for sure amazing. The monitor light challenged me to find a better solution & I love it, almost can’t wait for winter to use it properly!

    Thanks Matt - I love the colour. Need to have a good think about the rest of the room, but at present I'm in favour of doing it.

    I’d go for it, looks great from the photo. Making me rethink mine (damn you!) but we have a scheme across the house and don’t really want to break it - dull / simplistic it may be, but it all works with a feeling of calm & continuity.

    Looks great, very nice place to work. Out of interest, how are you getting on with the keyboard?

    Thanks, and I love it. Wouldn't think of using the Apple keyboard now.

    With only 2 colours in the house touching up is very easy!

    Some see it as dull, but it’s bright and airy in the rooms & just a light steel colour for the hall & landing.

    As mentioned before, I’ve got so many hue bulbs I can change most main living spaces to any colour I fancy. Truth be told we do it less these days as found the ones we enjoy the most.

    Damn, it’s that good then? My issue with any keyboard is being a numbers man I need the keypad, which means visually the keyboard will always look offset to the right to make the actual keyboard typing area central. Really winds me up, even more than when your monitor was offset lol.
