Home Truths

How cold and miserable was your commute this morning? As I settled down at my desk in front of a roaring fire, I thought not for the first time, about the joys of working from home. Not having to brave the wind and the rain scores high on my list. Finding the right creative space for your desk, atelier or office needn't be too difficult. It needs to have light, be bright and somewhere you can work without distractions and, in comfort and warmth.
The perfect bijou office and you can hide it away when you are not working!
Highlight traditional features, like this French ceiling to create your special space. What works for you? Your own space or a corner of the kitchen table?
