My home office. I couldn’t do it without my plant friends.
Working from home was a difficult transition for me, but adding plants (and having good light) make all the difference. I thought you folks would approve.

I love it! Looks great. I'm jealous, I've had to severely limit my houseplant numbers and locations because my cats will try to eat anything and everything, even the plants that supposedly sting or taste awful to them. I'm hoping they grow out of it one day so I can have something set up like this!
Lovely, thank you for sharing! For some reason I can't see any comments in jerboa atm, so please excuse if this has already been asked. What is the tall one on the left, and is it happy to stay away from the light? All office greens complain when they're not plastered up against a window.
The tall one on the left is an arabica coffee plant I’ve grown from seed. It’s actually fine with the indirect light from being away from the windows and from the bright lights above.
That makes perfect sense since I think coffee is grown in the understory? How long has it taken to grow to its size? If it's not too long, I give it a try!
I think you’re right about the understory. They like indirect partial sun, it seems. I do have a bright light above it as well. I think it took like 5-7 years to get to this point, but that was with some set backs when I was figuring out watering.
Gorgeous! I agree that having plants around makes working from home so much better. I have an ivy on my desk that has grown so much alongside my career! What kind of mouse is that? Looks ergonomic af.
It’s definitely ergonomic and helps wrist and thumb tendinitis I’ve been dealing with.
It’s the “Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse”
It is! Nice eye. There are other nerdy Easter eggs placed around as well.
ETA: needy to nerdy
Fantastic vibes. Are the plants getting all their light from the window or do you have grow lights in there too?
It’s a combination of the windows and some 6000-lumen garage lights I put in the van lights above. You can kinda see one of those at the top of the pic.

I'm so jealous. I've never had a green thumb and we have almost no direct sunlight in our house, so plant growing just is never going to be a thing. But I grew up with a mother and grandparents who filled their houses with plants and I do miss it.
It's beautiful! I want more plants for my apartment, but I have to find some that my cat won't to nibble on, won't hurt her if she does nibble anyway, and also isn't difficult to care for
I quite like the chair. Once I started working from home it took some time for me to break a few cheap chairs before I finally decided to up my spending and get one that will hopefully last.
Yeah I’m at that point. Got my first chair and wasn’t disappointed with it but after a few months it really starts to wear down your back. So figured I should get something decent instead of getting a cheap replacement again and again.
Thanks for sharing the link.
I have that same chair. It infuriates me. Lots of support, thick padding, sturdy. Huge amounts of adjustment. So close to great. But the damn thing just won’t go low enough so it’s always pressing on the back of my thighs unless literally tilted forward. And the lumbar support is just a bit too much and starts to fatigue after me after a while regardless of the height you set it at. Mind you I’m 6”, 230lb. I think it’s specifically a “Big and Tall” chair, but it’s not described that way. I’ve had worse though.
