Work from Home? Work Outside!
Working from home seems like a dream for many who have desk jobs. No commute. Eat what you want when you want. Lots of quiet so you can buckle down and work. You can take a refreshing walk over lunch. Of course, you have to stick to deadlines and make sure that you are in sync with your team. It takes a lot of self discipline but for many it makes balancing work and family life a whole lot easier.
Working from home isn't always easy. It's just you there and the pleasant social interaction between you and your peers will have to wait until you're in the office again. Your day can become very routine. And, staring at a monitor for hours a day doesn't exactly look that different from home or the office. So, to change things up a little, why not set up to work outside for a few hours on a nice day?
A shady nook outside is an ideal workspace, such as a covered balcony or patio. The Pembrey Bistro Set is made for just such a place. If you do need shade, a side umbrella will work nicely (see below). Because the bistro table does not have an umbrella hole sure to purchase an umbrella with a base that is designed to be free-standing.
Alveranda 6-Seating in a Garden
This customizable set has an umbrella hole (sold separately). The Periwinkle cushions are a beautiful color. However, if that's not your style there are many other cushion colors to choose from.
If you do like Periwinkle Home Depot has a coordinating umbrella that will match perfectly with this dining set.
Spread Out on a Catalina Dining Set
This large flat dining table is great for a dinner party. It's also a fantastic space if you need a lot of room for your work. Loads of room to spread your work out and see it all the way you need to.
Put your feet up and pretend your working in a lush, tropical garden. Choose a Conversation Set or Chaise Lounge, or both!
If you need some shade the 10-Foot Solar Offset Umbrella at Orchard Supply will look beautiful with the Bali Collection as well.
Commack for Warm Sunny Days
The roomy Commack has plenty of room for your work things as well as a cup of coffee.
