    What a cute little nook of an office! ☺️ The best part is you can basically just collapse it and put it away when you have a guest if you wanted. I’m in desperate need of a filming nook! Thanks for the inspiration! 💛

    Like another poster said, I found you during the pandemic (it's July now!) and will be binging your videos now. I am an essential employee, so not working from home (at work now, in fact LOL), BUT I have been trying FOREVER (OK- like 25 years and six houses) to figure out an office corner that will really work for me for managing the household, writing, etc. I love the way you did this, and I am glad you popped up in my suggestions! That said, I'd watch you anyway- your voice is very pleasant, and you are not only talented, you have just a really friendly and kind energy about you.
