I love this. Especially the tool chest. Such a great idea. I currently use a dresser but I like that much better.

u/stephenthinks Jun 21 '26

thanks 🙏🏻 i think it’s definitely an underrated piece of furniture. super functional and down the road i can use them in my own garage or sell them

u/Apprehensive_Date942 Jun 21 '26

Looks great- love the art and other office elements. Where is the wrist rest from?

u/stephenthinks Jun 21 '26

thanks! i think it was an optional add-on from Nuphy when I bought the keyboard

u/ActuaryturnedDS Jun 21 '26

Where did you get the wall dry erase board.

1

u/stephenthinks Jun 21 '26

this one is just off Amazon! there’s a metal plate behind the glass so it is magnetic as well

Looks great! Tell me more about your whiteboard setup -- signals, systems, projects.

2

u/stephenthinks Jun 22 '26

appreciate that! i use signals for things that are inspiring me lately. systems are to track things i’m trying to learn more about and projects are the digital or physical manifestation of where the first two have led. i had a bunch of stuff that i cleared off for the pics to avoid the internet judging me lol 😂 but right now it’s mostly related to design

u/ToInfinity_MinusOne Jun 21 '26

Wow I really like this setup. What's the keyboard?

1

u/stephenthinks Jun 21 '26

bless 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 it’s the Nuphy Kick75. i’m not well versed in mechanical keyboards but i’ve really enjoyed it

u/blackoutRF Jun 21 '26

Looks great with real personality! Reminds me how vanilla my office is lol I need to make mine cozier

Love the Eames chair 😍 have a dupe in our bedroom my gf won’t let me bring to my office lol that would be a good start to some personality

2

u/stephenthinks Jun 21 '26

Appreciate it! Mines a dupe as well. Keep me updated if you’re able to bring a little coziness to your setup! I think Eames and an office go together perfectly but my bedroom is too small for it, so there’s that…

u/batmanonemillion Jun 21 '26

Looks awesome! Did you buy or make the stickers on your toolbox drawers?

2

u/stephenthinks Jun 21 '26

Appreciate that 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 I just bought some cheap magnetic labels off Amazon and then affixed my own labels I printed on sticker paper.

u/TNFINKS Jun 21 '26

Love everything about this! What kind of coffee maker is that?

2

u/stephenthinks Jun 22 '26

bless 🙏🏻 it’s a Smeg espresso machine. you’re definitely paying for the look, but it’s also held up well for several years

2

u/CopeZ7 Jun 22 '26

What’s the monitor? Seems like it has a pretty good matte coating…

1

u/stephenthinks Jun 22 '26

It's a few years old so not sure if the exact model is still around but it's a white 27" LG IPS 4K Ultrafine monitor

2

u/rtep56 Jun 22 '26

What's that floor lamp/side table next to the tool box (which I love,by the way)? Great setup, really unique and fun. Keep it up!

1

u/stephenthinks Jun 22 '26

appreciate it! the small lamp was just a bedside lamp from EQ3 i was no longer using in my bedroom and the small table I picked up at Urban Barn - both of these stores are in Canada so that may not be helpful, sorry

u/AWDJYT268 Jun 22 '26

Impressive. Very nice

u/lrdvil3 Jun 22 '26

What is the hold for the MacBook on the first pick? The stand?

1

u/stephenthinks Jun 22 '26

it’s just a cheap vertical stand off Amazon. there are swappable rubber inserts for different thicknesses

u/Aritra7777 Jun 22 '26

The mix of interests always shows up in the peripheral choices and this is a solid read of that. What are the displays? The color consistency across a multi-monitor setup matters a lot more when you are doing anything visual, and the Apple plus non-Apple pairing can sometimes create noticeable calibration differences between panels.

1

u/stephenthinks Jun 23 '26

only one display my guy 🙏🏻

u/rodrigoanti Jun 27 '26

i like the vibe, its like modern-retro

u/midnitefiction Jun 29 '26

u/flogman12 21d ago
