Inspired to Work

So often office space can be boring, unorganized and not very inspiring. These spaces below are the exact opposite and could possibly lead one to love the work they do even more. It's important not only to love what one does, but also have a space that is inspirational and conducive to whatever work needs to be done.

Simple and yet both these office set-ups work. Love the chalkboards on the right.
