If you had $1000 to spend on a...

Last week's blog took up the arrangement of our work spaces to make them more conducive to creativity and productivity. I viewed such a rearrangement as working with what we already have. Then I thought, What if an extra $1000 came available to fix everything wrong with our writing areas and/or design a brand-new one? I like to play make believe, so...



Requirements for new desk:


built-in place for printer on right side
built-in place for external hard drive, router, thumb-drive storage, etc.other similar devices
shelves for copy paper, photo paper, cardstock, etc. beneath built-in place for printer on right 
nicely divided drawer for pens, markers, stapler, stamps, etc. in midde
hooks/hangars on middle inside to store various chargers (phone, Kindle, camera, etc.)
slide-out for extra keyboard above middle drawer

File cabinets:


two four-drawer wood on rollers

Shelving:


one above desk for favorite photos and displayed keepsakes
one above desk (within reaching distance) for necessary resource books e.g. thesaurus

Boards:


large whiteboard for making writing notes, plotting, creating characters, etc.
large bulletin board for keeping reminders, favorite inspirational quotes, etc. 

Appliances:


small refrigerator for Diet DP stash
shredder within reaching distance

Miscellaneous:


bay window for desk
chimes to hang outside bay window

Chair:


Adjustable with massage function and built-in foot-rest

Could I get all that for $1000? Probably not--but then again, $1000 isn't going to free itself from the budget and come drifting down as if from Heaven either!



Can I rearrange/reorganize to make do with what I have?  Absolutely!



So what would YOU do in your workspace if you had an unexpected windfall?
