0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>you for checking in. Good morning, This is Laura. Welcome

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>to the New Corner Office the podcast. Where was your

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Strategies for thriving in the new world of work or

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>location and hours are more flexible than in the past.

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Today's tip is to deck your walls. No, not deck

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the halls, though many of us will be doing that

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>over the next few weeks too. I mean to spend

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>a little time today consciously thinking through what you would

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>like to put on the walls of your home office.

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 1>So much of this becomes mindless over time, but we

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.359
<v Speaker 1>spend a lot of time looking at our home office walls.

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 1>It's best to put up something that will make you smile.

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I have worked from home for decades, but I didn't

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 1>have a dedicated home office until we moved into our

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>current home in two thousand eleven. Faced with what to

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>put on the walls, I decided on some botanical prints

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 1>from artist Wendy Hollander. They are very me I like plants,

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and more importantly, perhaps it is art that I sought

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 1>out and chose. It's a reminder that I am running

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>my own show, and that includes picking what goes on

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>my walls. Of course, I also have family pictures and

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>kid art in here too. My bias is always toward

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>photos that make me smile, So I have one of

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 1>me cuddling my fourth child as a baby. I have

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>one of my now thirteen year old cronning when he'd

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>conquered a big hill while skiing when he was about six.

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 1>And I'm planning to frame one of my baby in

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>his Halloween lobster costume. The world could be falling apart,

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>but it is impossible to look at his chubby little

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>face in that red costume with the claws and big

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>eyeballs and not felix. Something is going right now. Art

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>and photography are the sorts of things that you could

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>spend any amount of money on. If you do have

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 1>gobs of money, I would suggest that art might be

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>the sort of thing worth spending it on. Really gorgeous

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>photos of loved ones are worth paying a skilled photographer

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>to take and a skilled framer to make shine. Commissioning

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>art is also a very cool idea. Now I know

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>a few people could afford original works from say, internationally

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 1>famous people, but perhaps you could find a local artist

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>who could take on a commission for under or so.

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Not small change by any means, but probably within the

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:28.160
<v Speaker 1>realm of possibility. For some of my listeners, Having something

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>no one else has in your office can remind you

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 1>of your unique talents, and it can give you something

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 1>to talk about on zoom calls. If it is behind

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 1>your head, of course, it will also probably be beautiful

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and elevate your every day But you can also find

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>less expensive art. Etsy has incredible numbers of options at

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>just about any price point. Start looking through local auctions

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:59.799
<v Speaker 1>and estate sales. See what catches your eye. It doesn't

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>matter matter what it is worth. It's worth isn't how

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>attractive it is to you. You can also take pretty

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 1>artsy looking black and white photos yourself on your phone

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 1>and print them up through Shutterfly or similar services for

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 1>a few bucks. Frame Bridge and other pieces can do

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 1>relatively affordable framing, or just buy frames that target. You

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 1>could do a wall of a lot of small pieces

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:26.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty affordably versus getting custom framing and some big pieces.

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>And you can think outside the traditional world of art too.

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 1>You could frame a colorful piece of cloth, or create

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>a collage of a few pieces. Bits of wrapping paper

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>can be gorgeous on their own, or art cards arranged

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 1>in an intriguing way. Have your kids do abstract paintings.

0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 1>If you give them good materials and some guidance, such

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 1>pieces could look shockingly sophisticated. In any case, Today, take

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>a look at what is on your home office walls,

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>and over next week or two, carve out an hour

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 1>or two to start looking at options. Really think about

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 1>what you'd like to see. Now you don't have to

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>act immediately. Sometimes it's good to just be open with

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.720
<v Speaker 1>things like art because when you are open and looking,

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I find that really cool pieces tend to come along.

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 1>And when you see something that thrills you get it.

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 1>We spend a lot of time working. It is good

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 1>to have something that makes it a more esthetically pleasing

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 1>experience in the meantime. This is Laura, Thanks for listening,
