"Maybe it's just my own priorities, but I cannot understand how someone would give up precious closet space for an office. With laptops and smartphones, why do you need a real office in the home? I feel like storage is more important -- and illegal danish is right, offices don't need to be hidden. However, sometimes a messy closet does. I'd be saving that space for clothes and shoes, but that's just me!"

Seriously? A lot of people who use computers for work or hobbies need a real home office. Laptops don't cut it for more than surfing the web. Plus, everyone needs at least a place to store important paperwork/printer/supplies.

Some people value/need a workspace more than clothing.

Our house is only 700sq ft and we're using the 2nd small bedroom as an office, but if we add to our family I'll have to convert half of our master bedroom closet into an office. I've already sketched it out, and this post helps a ton. Very inspiring, thanks!

chorf & janet - the patio was not covered before, it was just an open gap between our house and garage. I sketched out my plan for the pergola, bought the lumber and had our handyman make the cuts and do the installation.

Ahh that white-washed wood is gorgeous!

Thanks! Thorndale, we actually scored the furniture set from Ralph's, they were using it for their summer display area. It was the last package they had, and half-off no less, $200!
