Working in our office is anything but dull. Our cubes are not, emphasize NOT, plain and ordinary cookie-cutter design workspaces. We are teachers, remember, and teachers are very talented when it comes to making something out of nothing. We can take a room with cinder block walls and make into a comfortable, welcome place to a few dozen students; we can easily make a cubicle into a home away from home.

Coat Hangs Out while I work. Calendar & other notes hang nearby.

My neighbor hangs her crutches alongside a file folder display.

My plant is oh-so-resilient.

Around the corner is another source of color.

Those are the state test boxes, by the way, with our fabulous colorful t-shirts. Our walls may be gray, but the office is very colorful.

So, readers, what makes your workplace or home colorful? Personal? Fun?
