Ever wonder what your favorite blogger or writer’s office looks like? Do you picture them in an elaborate wood paneled and leathered study? Or perhaps a coffee shop in the city? My office isn’t that interesting. Made up of second hand furniture and discards from our basement, my working space is nice and quiet and away from the hubbub of family life, but close enough that I’m here when I’m needed.
Would you like to see where I work? It’s right here on video.

I like the box of product samples and notebook of press releases the best. It is a great thing about writing, getting free stuff, but then when you get too much, it just lies around.

Hey Deborah, I love that your dog keeps you company while you work! My cats and dogs do, too.
BTW, our greyhound actually purrs!
Fun video! Thanks so much for making it! :o)

@Meg – the Dummies books are WordPress for Dummies and Blogging for Dummies. I’ve had the latter for a few years and when I run out of ideas for my blogging blog, I look through it a bit.
@Marjorie – The cats like the beds, or the seat next to me – one of them likes to sleep on the desk or bookshelf.
Dizzy-Ana – I ran out of dog food today and didn’t feel like going to the store so he’s getting cat food for now.
Lisa – I hear ya. Wouldn’t trade this for the world.
Jennifer – I’m jealous of your chair.
Well, I’m glad someone else has a makeshift office. I’ve been calling mine makeshift for months and months, eventually, I’m going to have to do something about it. I like the wall color too. I could never work with all that stuff on the desktop though. I’d be all ADD about.
Funny how we envision others having a “real” office and we’re the only ones who aren’t “professional”!
My husband (a contractor) built me an office in the basement – good lighting, a decent-sized counter and even a little room to move my chair in & out! For the past 3 years I’ve cluttered it to the max. Just cleaned it out and framed(& hung!!)my college degree (30 yrs later!) and even some certificates and pics of me, family and with some famous people I’ve interviewed! It’s actually beginning to look and most importantly FEEL like a real office.
But there is something to say about having the feel of home in your office – like a dog(even in the cat bed!) and the kids!
