    So happy to see Monica back! Monica, you were sorely missed! Welcome back!
    I love the yarn backdrop. It's colourful but not distracting, and it can be moved around, it's perfect.
    I would never have thought of doing a standing desk that way, it's a great alternative to electric desks. I'm moving into a new apartment as soon as possible and I've been re-watching all the past seasons of The Weekender for inspiration. Thank you so much!

    I love how this showed Monica's style and doable ideas and created really useful new functionality problem-solving for the sudden working at home many are facing. Having a great backdrop for video calls is such a nice touch and did look relaxing to make. Macrame-like, textural, organic, custom colors so I really dig it.

    You've given me so many ideas.... my husband and I have been working from home for 20 years, last month, I moved my home office from the basement area to the main floor. I found it challenging to do my pen designs and admin work in the same space. I have a beautiful steel corner desk that has a shelf for my 2 monitors and undershelf LED lighting that also stores my closed laptop. An old steamer trunk that holds my photography props and then 4 cube bookshelf. It's a mish mash, I can't really go out and buy anything new due to the pandemic and when it's over, the first thing I'm going to make is the PVC pipe backdrop. I'm already doing this for my photography, when I saw you make one, I had a "duh I could have had a v8 moment". Thank you for your ideas!
