Bringing in the Outdoors, an Open Workspace

Started med school last week. Started moving into my new place.

 

Knowing that I am probably going to be shackled to a desk for a majority of my free time, I thought it would be fun to bring in some of the greenness from the outdoors.

 

I used the living room to create an open workspace. Purchased a 10' x 10' piece of artificial grass to serve as an area rug. The grass has a 1.5" blade length, very enjoyable to sit on or feel the grass between your toes while studying.

 

Table and shelf are from Ikea, I made the frankentable by joining two tables together with the legs in the middle, along with a cable organizer between the two.

 

I used an extra strip of artificial grass over the center of the table to hide all the cables going from the computer accessories to the power cable organizer underneath the table.

 

Shelf was used to hold the printers and books.

 

Additionally, I cut a small hole in the artificial grass so I could feed a power cable underneath to run to the wall outlet unseen.
