Your quarantine station..

[wasp_f15ting]

So I assume a few of you will be working from home, let us use this thread for tips and tricks and showcase your lair.

I'll start off with mine. Nice and sunny - quite rare for where I live...

[Dewt]

Best not to talk about the chair.

[Dewt]

The window is comically tall for something so unusable. Can't even part the blinds because people park their cars head-on, inches away from the window and they'll see right inside at all hours of the day.

Loving the exposed brick !

I managed to get my monitor arms for £3.87 on a missprice on amazon - which they honoured - has given me so much desk space as a result

It is what tricked me into renting here

They kept all the exposed lead under wraps

[Dewt]

I could get monitor arms but then there's always the option of just putting a third screen on top of a Banker's Box.

Cable organiser under desk? Banker's Box mate. Pantry? Banker's Boxes.

This thread has reminded me of the day.I was startled to discover that the use of two or more monitors somehow makes a man more attractive.  Psychoanalyse that, bitches.

[Sebastian Cobb]

I've psychoanalysed dewts desk and concluded he's a ball fondler.

[Cerys]

His, or other people's?

[Dewt]

I have three balls. The best one is beige like the keyboard but I left that at work.

[Cerys]

And do you fondle them?

Love stuff QD, where is that chair from?

I could do with one like that for the bedroom

[bgmnts]

I love that your pouffe is a giant chocolate orange.

[Huxleys Babkins]

Nice. Proper fucking casual.

Ikea Poang innit?

[QDRPHNC]

Yep, Ikea Poaeng. Affordable and very comfortable, although I've been meaning to spend the $50 on the nicer cloth covering.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Nice music centre and interior design. I used to have a blaupunkt tabletop unit with a similar chassis by the looks of it. Would love to butcher one a bit and run bluetooth or a chromecast through one.

Crossley turntable will not be kind to your records though.

Crossley turntable will not be kind to your records though.

The tube amp is still in there (it's a Nordmende), but the player itself was fucked - gutted it and now use it as a home for various old audio bits and pieces I've collected.

Not too worried about the Crosley... I mostly play crappy old used stuff through it, and I believe VWestlife when he says that if you're playing decades old used vinyl, you can be certain it's been played on something worse than a Crosley and survived.

Cheers guys got one for myself :)

Who eats and drinks out of those bowls, and do you have a cute picture of them?

Love the nice sunny colours btw, looks like a nice isolation pad.

[QDRPHNC]

Thank you!

Those bowls belong to Two-Bite, my girlfriend's dog. He is very small and stupid.

[Blue Jam]

Awww, cheers for that! I love his crazy ears and his mullet. I wish I had a small and stupid lockdown dog to keep me amused right now. Missing getting my dog fix down the pub. All we've got round here is STONKY CADES coming into the garden, and I can't say hello to them in case they corona me up.

i have the same poang and recently replaced the unsightly red cover with a beautiful mustard yellow cover from wonderful amazon. i sit in my other chair and stare lovingly at my newly beatiful chair. highly recommended.

[QDRPHNC]

Didn't even occur to me you could get a non-Ikea cover. Cheers for the tip!

[Sebastian Cobb]

Looks like there's all sorts of mad printed covers on Etsy too.

[Dewt]

Really into the idea of getting a Poang chair. This is going to sound sarcastic but it's exactly what I've been looking for to replace my grandma couch (this is literally the couch of somebody's German grandma who died of her insides exploding)




My apartment looks quite nice in photos. In photos.

A ten year old boy made my coffee table. Paid him $150 for it. Good boy. It's falling apart a bit but that's the charm of it.

[Noodle Lizard]

Gorgeous apartment, Dewt!

[Dewt]

Thank you - I only show the nice part of it. The rest is really dingy. Those two windows are the only windows in the entire place, so the bedrooms and bathroom and hallway make you feel like you need to take a vitamin D supplement before you spend any time in there.

Mine arrives tomorrow.. might have to see if there is a William Morris cover
Thanks for the heads up
