Thank 24 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: you for checking in. Good morning, This is Laura. Welcome 25 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: to the New Corner Office the podcast. Where was your 26 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: Strategies for thriving in the new world of work or 27 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: location and hours are more flexible than in the past. 28 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: Today's tip is to deck your walls. No, not deck 29 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: the halls, though many of us will be doing that 30 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: over the next few weeks too. I mean to spend 31 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: a little time today consciously thinking through what you would 32 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: like to put on the walls of your home office. 33 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: So much of this becomes mindless over time, but we 34 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time looking at our home office walls. 35 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: It's best to put up something that will make you smile. 36 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: I have worked from home for decades, but I didn't 37 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: have a dedicated home office until we moved into our 38 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: current home in two thousand eleven. Faced with what to 39 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: put on the walls, I decided on some botanical prints 40 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: from artist Wendy Hollander. They are very me I like plants, 41 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: and more importantly, perhaps it is art that I sought 42 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: out and chose. It's a reminder that I am running 43 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: my own show, and that includes picking what goes on 44 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: my walls. Of course, I also have family pictures and 45 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: kid art in here too. My bias is always toward 46 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: photos that make me smile, So I have one of 47 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: me cuddling my fourth child as a baby. I have 48 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: one of my now thirteen year old cronning when he'd 49 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: conquered a big hill while skiing when he was about six. 50 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: And I'm planning to frame one of my baby in 51 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: his Halloween lobster costume. The world could be falling apart, 52 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: but it is impossible to look at his chubby little 53 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: face in that red costume with the claws and big 54 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: eyeballs and not felix. Something is going right now. Art 55 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: and photography are the sorts of things that you could 56 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: spend any amount of money on. If you do have 57 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: gobs of money, I would suggest that art might be 58 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: the sort of thing worth spending it on. Really gorgeous 59 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: photos of loved ones are worth paying a skilled photographer 60 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: to take and a skilled framer to make shine. Commissioning 61 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: art is also a very cool idea. Now I know 62 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: a few people could afford original works from say, internationally 63 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: famous people, but perhaps you could find a local artist 64 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: who could take on a commission for under or so. 65 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: Not small change by any means, but probably within the 66 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: realm of possibility. For some of my listeners, Having something 67 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: no one else has in your office can remind you 68 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: of your unique talents, and it can give you something 69 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: to talk about on zoom calls. If it is behind 70 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: your head, of course, it will also probably be beautiful 71 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: and elevate your every day But you can also find 72 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: less expensive art. Etsy has incredible numbers of options at 73 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: just about any price point. Start looking through local auctions 74 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,799 Speaker 1: and estate sales. See what catches your eye. It doesn't 75 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: matter matter what it is worth. It's worth isn't how 76 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: attractive it is to you. You can also take pretty 77 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: artsy looking black and white photos yourself on your phone 78 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: and print them up through Shutterfly or similar services for 79 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: a few bucks. Frame Bridge and other pieces can do 80 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: relatively affordable framing, or just buy frames that target. You 81 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: could do a wall of a lot of small pieces 82 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: pretty affordably versus getting custom framing and some big pieces. 83 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: And you can think outside the traditional world of art too. 84 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: You could frame a colorful piece of cloth, or create 85 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: a collage of a few pieces. Bits of wrapping paper 86 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: can be gorgeous on their own, or art cards arranged 87 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: in an intriguing way. Have your kids do abstract paintings. 88 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: If you give them good materials and some guidance, such 89 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: pieces could look shockingly sophisticated. In any case, Today, take 90 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: a look at what is on your home office walls, 91 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: and over next week or two, carve out an hour 92 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: or two to start looking at options. Really think about 93 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: what you'd like to see. Now you don't have to 94 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: act immediately. Sometimes it's good to just be open with 95 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: things like art because when you are open and looking, 96 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: I find that really cool pieces tend to come along. 97 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: And when you see something that thrills you get it. 98 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: We spend a lot of time working. It is good 99 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: to have something that makes it a more esthetically pleasing 100 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: experience in the meantime.
