Man, I wish the TV had cable. I work for my dad and he was talking about getting satellite since we're here so much, but who knows if he was serious or not. Maybe I can find a DVD player or even a VHS and play my old Disney movies while I work image

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to paint it, but that would be a good idea. I was thinking about that shelving paper too, but I don't know if that would look stupid.

franknbeans, those are really awesome suggestions! I have a really cute pink and cream tackboard at home that might fit that space, or it can't be too hard to make one, right? If you could find examples of the shelving displays, that would be awesome. I despise the overhead lighting. That's the worst part of moving down there. Upstairs we have huge windows and skylights everywhere and we barely need the fluorescent lighting. I want to find a decent floor lamp and a desk lamp as well. That thing on the shelving behind my desk is a Bose stereo, so I'm pretty hooked up as far as music goes.
