My new working and creative area

OK. There is something I'm so excited about that I must share.


This is my new working and creative area. Situated at the left side of my car garage where grows a cherry tree  it mainly comprises a long wooden chair and a table top of sorts.


The chair has been left some time unused outside by a neighbour. I asked for it and took it here about 3 days ago for two main reasons. One is to cover a part of the garage floor which was broken because of the cherry tree growing from its side. Another is of course for seating. 

However the chair was bare without cushions. Luckily I found a recycled cupboard door from somewhere which nicely fits to cover the bare parts. I also added some roof materials to cover the garage side and some shades around the closest parts of the cherry tree. This practically turned the side into a comfortable space for private activities, mainly for family.




Soon enough I found the area convenient and so comfy that I started doing readings and taking naps on the chair. What was lacking was a table top of sorts to place things including my laptop for doing work, writing or just be creative hearing songs and such. Yesterday, late in the evening I found the right materials to make the table top. I immediately set out to work on through the night and got it ready and nice by 11 pm.


There. The location of my new  'hide-out' relative to my house (on the right).


Look at how it is placed at the garage...


There is also a bench which was constructed using recycled materials a few years ago. Behind is an old tyre turned into a swing for the kids last week or so.


Next, and this was like just over an hour ago I decided to add this shade to make it more comfy while reducing glare from the morning sun.


I realised the need to add shade when my laptop was put in this position. To the left is the east where the sun rises. It was only this morning that I realised the need to add shade to reduce glare...


There. I was all set to start some writing in the new working and creative area. For the record this picture was taken at 11.13am while the laptop was playing "Flying in a Blue Dream" by the rock guitar instrumentalist Joe Satriani. Adios... :]
