    Too risky, you might take a swig from the wrong one.

    I've got two. An office in the house, and a 10 by 20 shed I've recently built in the garden.

    decoration is a few unwanted prints on the walls. klimt on my right, picasso on my left, kandinsky at the back.

    as always the shed is starting to fill with stuff again. the cross training machine is being encroached... i need to execute a stuff execution again.

    i forgot to add that having the space is terrific. it's easier to focus on work in my home made office environment rather than perched on a table in the house. it's also excellent for getting away from kid tantrums.

    Sometimes you need to communicate more directly. Leave her. She will get it.

    I used to have my own space, mainly a study, or the integral garage with surround sound system, pool table and a refined assortment of alcohol. Now, however, I have no space to call my own - the wife, the kids, they have taken over the whole house and it is bloody damn annoying!

    I see you went for the 'bookshelf' style in disguising the harem doors. Much more tasteful, and certainly more humane than the 'Viennese basement' style.

    Hmm.



    I just have a home-office. It's the only room on the ground floor of a 3-storey town house and much colder than the upper floors so I call it "my dungeon"
