A new office and a new view

As mentioned in a previous post, after months of work we have a shiny new office upstairs. Carterton is a gorgeous place to live and now we're finally making full use of the beautiful views around us.

We've barely moved in, so things are still messy, but it's nice having more space:

Those small, high windows maintain privacy and give a view without being blinding behind the computer screens. It's a bit cloudy today, but you can see the Tararuas in the distance.

One the right side of the office we've got big windows because we back onto a huge park, so when I'm contemplating a code issue or taking a break, I'm looking out at this...

Bek's also now got an official painting space- no more working at the end of the dining table (and having to pack everything up so the kids don't add their own artistic input!)

And finally, our boardgames have a home!

All right, I'm off to do some more work, and probably some more shuttling of books and DVDs from downstairs later tonight...
