Default Let's decorate Granny's "office"

As you know, Granny has been really bummed out about her "office" space that she shares with up to three other peeps at one time. So let's post some fun ideas to make her life there more bearable, or at least put a smile on her face for awhile! Here's the pic:

Morris and I agree. Hire someone to paint windows (with outdoor scenes in them) on the walls or get a few giant posters of windows.

That is way to dull and drab for Granny! She needs an office to match the personality; bright, lively colors all over. I'm sure if her co-workers could get used to her they could get used to a matching decor .

In the winter she can put this in one of the windows!

Black ceiling, red walls, lots of candles to decorate the room.

And then invite the boss over for a staff meeting.

I'm still goin' with the white Christmas lights strung around the ceiling and my hologram glasses...I can send her 3 pairs....and a lava lamp...definitely a lava lamp....and a box of donuts. I like the trompe l'oeil suggestion by Rob for a window...or just clouds and sun and vines or something. Oh, and some shelving for personal items (nice-looking fake leather-bound books, an S2000 model...I'll even send her my genuine Pac-Man metal lunchbox)...fun stuff.

Good lord...that's just disgusting (no, not my suggestions...the office space).

Close quarters for sure! Granny can use my ocean pics to soothe her.

I'm casting my vote for the pink boots (along with the caption: These boots are made for walking).

How big is the space? Is painting/moving furniture an option?

Seems to me there are two challenges...breaking up the space to give each person a sense of their own space and then injecting some personality into that drab environment.

Are there ANY actual windows in the room? Where's the door?

I know...I know...I'm stealing the fun from this, but I think we could come up with some real improvements...and leave plenty of space to dump some sand and an inflatable palm tree in a corner to brighten the mood...
