Having pared down our furniture, we now had some flexibility in where
to put the remaining items. My desk, under the window, would stay where
it was, but his desk would be shuffled over to the wall directly behind
mine. While this would leave just a little over two and a half feet
between the two desks, we figured that as long as we placed our
computers at opposite ends of each desk such that our chairs would
be staggered along that narrow space separating the desks the
configuration would work out just fine. (As it turns out, having our
backs to each other actually makes the room seem much less cramped since we cant see each other, we
each feel like we have the room all to ourselves.)
compare with the old floorplan

Moving his desk out of the way would leave a little open nook to the
left of my desk
just perfect for housing the futon. As an added,
unforeseen bonus, there would be just enough room between the wall and
the edge of my desk to allow us to pull open the futon when necessary
instant guest room! A short file cabinet placed right next to the
futon could act double duty as an end table. Which still left enough
room for us to add a much-needed extra file cabinet.
With new floorplan in hand, we were finally ready to turn this office
disaster area into a homey workspace
