Hybrid Work From Home Office + Desk Setup Makeover (DIY Monitor Stand + Desky Sit Stand Desk)

Рет қаралды 201,553

Күн бұрын

After recently quitting my day job, I decided to do another refresh to my workspace, to better accomodate my workflow as a content creator and creative professional. The goal is to have a place where I can be productive, get inspired creatively, and the right tools to help simplify my workflow, whether it be making videos or designing spaces.

This is the most beautiful apartment. I love the way he goes about his job. But the truth is; without making good investments, no one can ascertain the kind of money required to own such properties. I am retiring next yr at 55 with 3 houses paid off worth 40.5 million. I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investments.

@tahirisaid2693 Жыл бұрын

May I ask which investments are good? I've had an apartment for quite a while now but I've found it difficult to increase the luxury of my interiors.

Wow, this video got me so excited on the idea of making a DIY monitor stand just like what you did. The stand looks clean and beautiful also cost-saving. I've been looking around to get a monitor stand for my monitor but they're way too overpriced but luckily I saw you video today. Great job, great content and very creative. Keeping up the good work!!!

Hi! I also have a Desky hardwood desk. I got mine in white oak and I love it. I was tossing up between the white oak and white ash and I’m happy with how my set up turned out. The price is steep but the quality and customer service are really good and I wanted to invest in a better desk, especially with wfh and studying online. Also the cable management system is so much better than other sit stand desks I’ve seen.

Perfect! I'm redesigning my work desk and your design is wonderful... Will definitely repeat the desk, monitor and it's riser. Thanks!

I’m new and just found your videos recently. I love the calmness of your voice, the intention behind every single item in your home, and the way everything functions so well. I learned a lot about how to make my WFH space better for my needs to increase my productivity in ways I didn’t even think were possible.

I have been binging your channel and must say the quality of work and effort you pour into your videos really shows. I have noticed that you use both Mac OS and windows alongside iOS, would you ever consider making a video on how you streamline the process of sharing files and working between the platforms. I know it might not be something that you need to worry about anymore but still it would be interesting none the less.

Hi Reynard, your videos are so inspiring as I'm moving into my first unfurnished apartment and have been tearing my hair out over colors and room layouts etc. I also bought a standing desk recently. How would you recommend designing the space above your desk so that it is aesthetically pleasing (and functional) in both sitting and standing modes?

It looks so streamlined! Two questions: 1. I know you had screwed-in a small drawer underneath the previous desk. Where does the items you had in there go now? 2. Any recommendations for someone who, when using their work desk for leisure, has a lot of supplies? I work in dry art media and have quite a few supplies (paint markers, pens, etc)

@reynardlowell 2 жыл бұрын

Thank You! 1. Most went into the felt tray under the monitor stand (portable drives, pen, notebook), others like cable etc went into the storage unit beside the desk. 2. Perhaps utilise the vertical space (i.e. wall) if possible? A pegboard is great for keeping art supplies, or one of those wide Alex drawers from IKEA that can roll under the desk, great for art supplies.
