All right, it looks like we’re going to give Andrew Sullivan a run for his money on this “view from the window” thing. We’ve just received some pics from Chenopup, taken from his home office:
In Cheno’s own words, “…one is the actual view from my basement office at home. The other (like you other cheaters) is the more preferred view should I open the window and stick my head up though my Plexiglas enforced child-protective window well barrier.”
Not the most inspiring scenery, unfortunately, at least not in the “actual” photo, and I take some exception to being called a cheater, but thanks for participating! Anyone else?
The window well view is almost as exciting as my view of the parking lot. And so I’m not considered a cheater, I’ll take a picture of that and send it to Jas. 🙂
Kimber, (the wife) actually decorated our other basement well – nice clean gravel, painted interior of the window well and plants. Maybe I should build shelves in mine and put my toys on them. Either that or a bamboo plant for some feng shui. And dead leaves and spiders can be very inspirational and motivational, you just have to know how to read between the lines. 🙂
I’m jealous that Cheno actually has a window. At my office I have a frosted door that looks out upon . . . the secretary’s cubicle! Wowee.
Cheno, I had the thought that you could put a mural of some sort in the window well to simulate a landscape, like those full-wall photographic mural wallpapers we had back in the Awesome 80s.
Robert, your view might not be so bad, depending on how your secretary looks… 😉
She was probably hot when she was 17 . . . back in 1843.
Yes, the muttonchops were more popular back then, weren’t they?
Well then, Robert. Be glad you have the frosted glass as a barrier. She may be more hideous if you had clear glass in the door.
