My tiny workspace

When I bought my present flat, I got one room less than I previously had. Went from 78 to 66 square-meters and one room less. I lost a workspace. Which I really need (why I need it is another story). Solution? I moved one cleaning cupboard from the lefthand corner above into the storagespace and squeezed in a workspace in the small hallway, on the way to the kitchen. Above is the result.

So this is what I have to make do with. Tiny, cramped, on the way to the kitchen, but it works acceptably. Being in the doorway to the kitchen makes it feel less cramped than it really is. And I get the daylight from there as well.

I only miss a space to put my scanner. So when I need to scan something I use my second iMac (an older one which normally lives in the bedroom, meant to watch movies on) on the coffee-table in the living room with the scanner.

I could put the scanner on top of the printer though. That is where I put the other printer (a fast, black and white HP printer that belongs to the housing cooperative, used to print those 144 copies info-letters I do for the housing cooperative regularly, plus other info-material to distribute – it lives under the black chair just inside the kitchen when not used). But that is not very good. Anything put on top of my color laser CAN fall to the floor… (Unfortunately happened to my camera once when downloading pictures from it – cost me SEK 1800 in repairs).

Storage to the left and the right behind my back. The opening to the left goes to the first tiny hallway and the entrance. Which means I hear every movement in the entrance to the house (despite having a piece of drapery covering the entrance door). A plus there is I hear when mail is delivered when I sit here. We have the mailboxes in the entrance to the house.

The cupboard above is also used as a linen cupboard in the spaces behind the doors. The narrow set of shelves to the right (the beech tree one) has since been moved elsewhere.

I spend far too much time in this corner…
