I realize this is a thing people sometimes do and it tends to be people who have millions of followers who actually have some interest to see the space where the magic happens for their favorite “personality.”
I may not have millions of followers, but I wanted to share my office space anyway. Up until this moment I had shared some bookshelves, or in my case, entire bookcases. I still owe you all a brand new “Share a Shelf” tour that will show off all of my bookcases now they are finally organized the way I want them!
In the meantime, here is a short walk through of my office that is in the basement of my home. It’s a finished room that we had to do as I’ve been permanently working from home since just before the pandemic. My job requires me to have quite an elaborate set-up, plus I like having all the tech I can cram into a small space.
I also always imagined if I were to own a home that I would have an office and a space for all of my books, of which I have hundreds and inherited hundreds from my mother and grandmother. This space allows me to incorporate both into one room, with room to grow.
Some things of note are the toy chest that I still own. My grandmother purchased it for me, with her own money, which was a big deal back then as my grandmother never worked a day in her life. She’s from the generation that got married young, had seven children, and was a housewife her whole life. But she got an allowance and she used that money have a toy chest made for me, with my name in it, when I was just around three years old. It is the oldest thing I own and my wife had it restored since it was looked a bit worn after it had traveled from the Bronx to Sepulveda in California, to West Hollywood, then back cross country to upstate New York.
Another piece of note is a crystal ship in a case that once belonged to my grandmother. It was a gift her son, my uncle, bought her back when I was maybe younger than five. As the story goes, when it was unveiled I declared it was my ship and ever since then everyone knew that it would be mine when my grandmother passed. Hence why it is now in my office with a few trinkets and things that remind me of the family I lost surrounding it.
Thank you for taking a tour with me and I hope you enjoy my full walk through of my books in a future Live!
