what my office looks like

[abilouise]

A lot of stuff going on, but I lately I can only motivate myself to do things if they are either a) on my to-do list, b) work related, c) involving of good friends around whom I can relax

So the reason for this post is to ask you, if you are interested, to look at the photos of my office, taken by estherruth, for the purpose of showing people how warm and appealing my office is. Which photo makes it look most like a room you would want to get massage in? Inquiring minds want to know! Anybody who helps me out on this will get some small token of my appreciation. I couldn't do this sort of thing without a little help from my friends...

I think either 5076169211599560354 or 5076168597419236898. Of those, the first is in better focus, I think.

I think it has something to do with the balance of colors in them, and that they look interesting. I mean, it's clearly not the whole office, and I think that's cool.

IMGP0958 (the first one), IMGP0966 (fourth from last), IMGP0971 (third from last), or IMGP0975 (last). Of those, I prefer the three that aren't IMGP0971.

Unfortunately for the room layout, I'm ruling out the ones that are looking into the corner, because it looks cramped in the photo to me in a way it wouldn't in real life.

For whatever reason, http://lh4.google.com/image/abi.harper/RnIsZ9UqngI/AAAAAAAAACA/M1Ed-BfPfOE/IMGP0958.JPG?imgmax=144
Looks the best to me. That's the only one where I looked at it and immediately wanted to lie down on the massage table.

Of these, I like the one you have up first the best. I like seeing the pillow or head rest part, because I think that makes it easier to imagine lying down. I don't like the poster of the front/back of the body, because that looks more like a science classroom. I like the painting (?) with the colorful flowerish circular things. The embroidered (?) diamond thing is nice, but doesn't have as much visual impact. So if you could possibly get that into a picture that also showed the pillow part, it would be great.

I like http://picasaweb.google.com/abi.harper/WhatMyOfficeLooksLike/photo#5076168554469563906 and http://picasaweb.google.com/abi.harper/WhatMyOfficeLooksLike/photo#5076168597419236898

I feel that's a good mix of showing the table and head-rest (and I like the fact that it shows the chair there - it makes me think you'll sit for a minute and talk to your clients and such, which just seem more inviting to me) and the cabinet (showing lots of clean towels and oils and such (and showing that beautiful quilt).

I like the first one too. I don't really like the other ones.

I like 5076168889477013058 best; I like seeing the head of the massage table, since it lets me imagine being massaged, and the combination of the muscles chart and the pretty wall hanging sort of says both "Abi really knows her shit" and "A massage here would be a nice relaxing experience".

If you use two pictures, I'd add 5076169263139167938, since it's the best shot of the beautiful quilt, and by showing a completely different part of the room, you make it seem like a large and comfortable space.

I like the one above "what my office looks like" for its sense of space. I love the crazy quilt in real life but don't particularly like any of the photos it shows up in. Would something involving the window be nice?

I like the first one, and the tenth. The ones showing the bookcase don't give a good view of the massage table. I like seeing the rattan chair because it makes the pictures less claustrophobic.
