I always like to see where and how people work so after having been in my new office for about 3 months now, I decided to take some photos of where I work nearly every day. :)

First, I want to post pictures from BEFORE I was in the new office.

This is my office when I had first started working full time. After doing well for a while, AzoogleAds gave my office an upgrade with a 52" LCD TV that I connected to my computer as a second monitor.

You can see this upgrade below:

This was before I cleaned the cords up.

About three months ago, I upgraded to a new office (different room). Now that I've settled in, I wanted to show it off a bit. ;)

First, this is what you see when you walk in.

I run a custom built PC with a 22" monitor as the primary monitor and a 42" 1080P LG LCD TV (The one from AzoogleAds is now my primary Television) as the second monitor connected via a HDMI Cable. I like to watch youtube and play games (when I have the time) on the 42" monitor. It's... wow. ;)

You'll also see a yoga ball over in the bottom right. I like to sit on this sometimes during the day as it works out your core while you work! Here is a better explanation of the yoga ball (LOL):

The next area is my sitting area. Every morning I wake up and like to just sit and read for around 30 minutes. Above is a sign with my company logo. You can't really see it very well in the photo but the sign is lit with a nice LED that makes the light shine through all the sides. I wish I could show the effect better but I just couldn't get it to show right...

The wall is a deep blue color with a mother of pearl faux finish. Again, the photo doesn't give it justice. It looks amazing in real life.

Next is the modern coffee table and end table. I ordered them online from Modernlinefurniture.com.

Here is my best attempt at capturing the sign's lighting.

Next, on the back wall is one of my favorite Watercolors from the international artist, Gary Bukovnik. He is a pretty big artist in the San Francisco area.

I think it goes nicely in the office because the blues match the wall.

Here is another shot of my desk.

The pictures on the right are of my girlfriend, Maria. We have been dating for 7+ years now. She's been called both a gold digger by a lot of the visitors here so I just wanted to say that she and I have been together since way before I ever had any money (there were times when she and I would go on a date to Sam's Club to get pizza... Yea... Enough said.) Not only that... she is about to graduate from UC Berkeley with a degree in Mass Communications... So far, straight A's. Impressive eh? :)

Next, there is my storage closet.

As you can tell... I REALLY like drinks. They're one of those guilty pleasures for me...

Really... Like... Drinks. Hahahaha.

Finally, one last shot of the back corner.

So that is where I spend many, many hours during the day.

I'd love to see some more posts about what your office looks like.

You can see some photos of Shoemoney's old office (before he got a building) here.
You can see some photos of Nickycakes office here.

If you have any office photos from other bigger bloggers, feel free to post them in the comments!

  1. Jonathan,

    Nice office, I’ll take some of mine tomorrow. I have graduated to a 25.5 inch Samsung Monitor, and Custom PC’s as well, I always build my own to get the best performance and value. My office is also my studio, so I can grab a guitar and wail when the profits are resting!

    Respectfully,

    Nicholas Chase

  2. Steve Hunter says:

    Nice office dude. Im liking that sign. Those drinks are gonna eat your teeth alive man. Get a water cooler!

  3. Nice office, I like the posts like this to see how people have come. Shoe’s post about his offive evolution was a good motivational boost.

  4. Jonathon says:

    Nice office! Love the huge monitor.

  5. Dave says:

    Nice office, I like the company sign…where did you have that done?

    Here’s my office as well as a few others since I did a similar post a while back. I’ve actually since moved so it’s completely different…but still the old one was nice :) There’s a video as well.

    Cheers.

  11. mike says:

    You gotta have a wide variety of drinks for the ladies. Hit em with a freeze pop.

  12. AMagz says:

    Killer office setup. I gotta get a sign like that!

  13. Dan says:

    Office looks awesome.. for those of us that work at home making our offices comfortable should be priority #1. The more we feel at home the more we’ll want to work. This should translate into more success!

  14. @Mike: LOL I know what video that is from but I couldn’t find it! Do you know the link?

    I was going to post that video under my closet pics… :D

  15. Oh, and about the sign: My Dad pretty much built it for me because he’s awesome like that.

    I just went and bought 3/8inch plexiglass from a local store, had them polish the edges with a flame, got my logo printed onto decals at kinko’s, and got 4 nice looking screws. Then I bought some LED’s off ebay (12 volt) and glued them into a brushed aluminum L channel.

    Lastly, I put spray adhesive around the edges of the plexiglass and then put some aluminum foil on it to create a glow on the inside of the plexi.

    Martha Stewart has nothing on you!

  17. Nice office setup. The company logo is pretty cool also.

    Maybe I’ll post some pics of my home office. :)

  18. @Tyler: LOL. Without the jail time I hope. ;)

    - Nice office.
    - Cool company logo

    PS. 7-year relationship huh? I do admire you. Oh, by the way, you guys are geniuses or something? (That’s a compliment.)

  22. Pheak Tol says:

    i like your desk, pretty nice size office space as well. and the drinks but no snacks? the Surge marketing sign is pretty cool as well with the branded “s” logo you got, i hope to achieve this much later on as well.

  23. Kris says:

    I had a laugh at that drink center you got going on :) It’s weird but the longer I sit at the computer to do work the more I feel like I have to have something to drink.

  24. @Jill: Thanks. And No, she’s the genius, I’m just the internet geek. ;)

    @Everyone else: Thanks for the compliments. :)
