10. I was also thinking something large and organic - I think I would go to HomeSource off of Post Oak, or the main one at I-10 & B*8

 

So all in all, probably $1250 - 1500 to outfit, which is pretty good - unless you have pieces you can leverage from home.

 

As with anything, one the main office started to take shape and we got to see what office I really had, I saw another office that felt better.  It had floor to ceiling windows and brought more light in.. SO I got a slightly larger office but the 4 x 4 bookshelves would not fit because of a small bumpout in the wall.

 

So I had to make a few minor changes

 

• Bookshelves: Three 2 x 4 bookshelves
• Table: Instead of two small tables I got one large one.. why? for my assistant because I should be in the field talking with people.
