My home, my office, my everything.

I love my roommate, but I secretly dream of the day I can convert my second bedroom into a home office/guest room.

How will I do this? Not sure, but it will likely include a gorgeous antique secretary, lots of filing cabinets, a large-scale framed corkboard like this one from Ballard Designs, and a comfy daybed that will pretend to be a couch.

I have every reason to work from home at least a couple times a week. Sky-high gas prices aside, all I really need as a writer is a telephone and computer.

I’m not alone; the U.S. Dept. of Labor reports that about 15 percent of people worked from home in 2004, a number that I suspect has risen in the four years since the poll.

If you work from home, do you prefer a laptop on the kitchen table, or an office suite in a spare bedroom? How did you make the transition and establish your new ultra-personalized professional space?
