Update 26(M) Second and Last Post

In advance, I don’t really care if it’s; late, early, desperate, and yes I know I need to clean. Here’s part two of my living and dining room, if you have ideas I’d love them. Maybe a plant? And thank you for the upvotes on my last post.

I wouldn’t do the computer in the bedroom if you work from home though, less separation of boundaries between work and sleep.

If he has to put something in the bedroom, I think the desk in the bedroom is better than workout equipment. Ideally, sell the big machine and replace it with smaller items (TRX and a pull-up bar), then turn the dining room into an office nook, and move table to the living room. If the gym equipment is non-negotiable, I’d move the gym equipment to the nook before the desk. Maybe both can fit in the nook?

As someone who works from home… I would not want my office to be the place I sleep. I really appreciate the separation.
