OC Our office (second photo in comments).
Before becoming a minimalist, the office was just my office because I work from home. During the declutter, I got rid of multiple pieces of furniture in there, which made space for my husband to have a desk too! He doesn’t WFH, but he uses it fairly frequently.
The post photo is his desk. The photo in the comments in my desk. The top is
Yep, there are more books. But 700 fewer than before than before the declutter. In my defense, purchasing books (for a bookstore) is my actual job! 😄

I love it! Just the right mix of cozy and distraction-free.

Thank you! The big windows were a major factor when we chose this apartment.

Decluttering 700 books is no small feat, wow!

It was definitely a big project! Some we sold back to the bookstore, some we brought to a donation center, and some we left in the lobby of our apartment building - it was really satisfying to see how quickly those got snatched up! I love that my neighbors now get to enjoy them, and that I’m left with just my absolute favorites.

Nice amount of furniture and accessories BUT the screen/laptop should never receive light from the front (behind your back) - ergonomics. I would move the books to where the desk is and get the desk facing the window.
