My avatar shows where I usually chat. On our comfy couch with my two kitties on either side, sometimes wanting to crawl on the laptop - lol

But sometimes I'm sitting at the kitchen table or up in our loft if I feel like getting away from everyone

Well, I'm on the laptop at the kitchen table right now. Beerfest is on the TV in the family room. Everything's really green now - had our first hard rain of the season last nite. I'm watching the egrets down at the creek.

We have a 2 story house. One of the upstairs bedrooms is our office. I've got a desktop with a pair of 19" monitors, a scanner, plotter, printer... I don't use it as much - I don't draw much anymore. The room has a big window looking out over the front yard.

I see flowers on our pineapple guava plants. The Gardenia is in full bloom. Flowers are gone on the peach tree. Freakin' squirrels are all over the place down at the pecan trees. I wonder what they're doing...

There's just the 2 of us - we have a 3600 sf house on close to 2 acres. It's somewhat overkill.

Tom...thats how I feel about my house now too. Only about 3000 sf here but its the animals who enjoy the room!! If the houseing market were not so bad, I might down-grade, but I think we will be here a few more years now waiting for it to be a sellers market again.

I'm really enjoying reading about your world everyone! Thanks!!!

I have an "office" in my diningroom, since I used to work from home. It overlooks the kitchen and livingroom (lots of light), and includes printers, scanners, filing cabinets, a fax machine, In/out basket, staplers . . . everything one might need in a office.

There are 4 of here that are "addicted" to computers . . . so we have a HUGE L-shaped computer desk (with shelving) that holds two computers, and another laptop on a desk beside it. Somehow my kitchen/dining table fits in here too.

It's a bit crowded, but reasonably organized.

GJ great idea~~~

I live in a 2 bedroom ranch with a full basement.

My dd had her room downstairs when she was home. After she
left we fixed it up into a beautiful recreation room. With a full bar.tv,
sleep couch if someone stayed over and all of my dh's deer heads that
he got and all of his other throphys for other sports.

I have my computer set up in the smaller bedroom that was my sons
Its on a computer desk and next to it I have the printer set up.
This room also has a day bed that can be opened to have 2 people
sleep. This is where my son and his wife sleep when they come to visit.

There is 2 lg. windows, so I have plenty of nat. light. I either have
the tv going or radio playing when I am on the computer. My dog Sage sleeps on the side of the desk when I am using the computer.

Today is a very dreary day. Looks like rain and very cool. The past
3 days were up in th 80s. I have a wedding to go to tomorrow hope the
weather is better.

Have lived in this house for 36 yrs. Not much property only
75 x 125 lot. Stockace fenching around property. Always wanted more
property but just could not afford to go there. After kids grew up it was
well happy we have a smaller place. Now that I am here by my self since
my dh passed 2yrs. ago it is all I can handle and a little bit to much.

Well, once again, Joyce and I are twins. I also live in a 2 bdrm ranch w/full bsmt. DD was 7 (she is 37 now) when we moved in and had the large bdrm. We took the smaller one, mainly, because it has a door out to the screened-in patio. It is now a sewing rm, play rm, guest rm and storage rm..LOL

I used to have my Laptop on my antique desk in the living rm, but when it got too tough to motivate, it is sitting on my coffee table and moves, easily, to the couch, beside me. And this is where I am sitting now (see Avatar) and always, when I am computing..

My TV is on all the time, so, you might say I am multitasking constantly...LOL! I am usually in my sweats or day coats (robes,caftans etc.) Yes, I am the perverbial couch potato..

We moved into this house about 2 years ago and the dinning room off the kitchen was too small for all of us to eat in it at the same time so we turned the dinning room into my office. It's nice, I have 2 large windows facing the front yard so I can see if some one comes to our house and get lots of sun shine.

as of last night, I'm officially in my new house!

YAY !!

my home is open-plan - one large, accessible, cool and airy room, with a bookshelf divider across the center...

the house is set at the center of a small (6 acre) farm, with a wrap-around screened porch, large windows for breeze-catching (crucial in the tropics), 3 fans, high ceilings, shade-giving wide-overhang roof, and cool tile floors.

the office/bedroom sits on top of a large concrete-block underground cistern, which holds 15 thousand gallons of rainwater, collected from the roof... and THAT helps cool the room as well...

my desk sits in the corner by the bookshelf, and through the screened windows I can view my homestead, all of my critters, and lush greenery of mango, orange, cashew and banana trees, and beautiful fan palms...

it's five steps to the bathroom, nine to the kitchen, and three to the bed, so I'm at the center of my world, in my little jungle nest.

Sounds divine, Kay. Now....we want pictures!!
