    New office decor

    I've been working on a new desk and cabinets for my office over the last few weeks so I thought I'd show off the results.
    At least if I'm stuck in here all winter it will be a nice environment to spend some time in!

    Thanks guys. It was one of those projects that started with changing a table top and ended in what you saw here. I am really happy with it and although it is a basement space it is more than comfortable.

    I'm sure the martini and old fashioned glasses will come in handy as you govern this site.

    No possibility to score if you can't hit the board. We actually "play" darts as opposed to just throwing sharp objects at the wall.

    Yes it's a very warm feeling cozy room. The wood is not as light as it looks in the pics. It's standard oak melamine and the light is kept fairly low and indirect. It's quit an improvement over the thrown together collection of stuff I used to have down here!

    The 3 monitors are all matching Samsung 21" widescreens. The one on the left is connected to my HD PVR and the other 2 are my computer desktop. It also has an awesome 5.1 surround sound system shared by the TV and computer. It's a nice rig.

    Is that a digital scorer below the board?

    If so, did you get it locally?

    I've seen them for sale online, but would like to try out the various models so I was hoping to find a local vendor.

    Absolut, Crown Royal, Gordons, Sambucca, Baileys, some unloved rum and some vermouth for the 'tini's
    Also some canned drinks & snacks.

    Yes it is. I got it on ebay for $50 plus shipping. I think Pavs Darts (off Hunt Club) has them for $150 or so. If you want to have a look at it just let me know.

    That is a nice home office Dan, regarding the martini, however, I invite you to watch this informative short video from the good folks at imbibe.

    Thumbs up Man Caves

    Excellent job... for a home basement office. BUT if you really want to enjoy your time ... look at Rogers Cable 89, DIY Channel "Man Caves" some awesome ideas there... but nothing associated with work...BTW how do you keep your office so neat? Where is the paper?

    I'll have a look at Man Caves. Thanks.

    Paper? I run a website. I have a printer with a few sheets of paper for letters and invoices, but that and the odd fax from some old school clients is about all the paper I see.

    I did clean up a bit for the picture though
