I've never lived ANYWHERE for more than 2 years. My fam moved every year growing up, and when I got to college, I changed dorms/apts at least every year. Even now, this is my first one year lease. As you said, I'm sure the tradeoff will be worth it.<br/><br/>@kristina: That's awesome that your company let you do that. My company recently decided to paint one of the stairwells I frequent to possibly the WORST combo of colors. It ruins my day. They really ought to have done some focus groups first ! :)<br/><br/>@jonathan: That Microsoft Research building I link to in the article has some really great facilities. I hope you'll check it out. Scoble does an awesome little tour of the place. @honey: Rock on! I’ve never lived ANYWHERE for more than 2 years.

New spaces can be truly energizing. I'm learning more and more about designing my space to facilitate my creativity and productivity, it's truly exciting. Thanks for sharing this.<br/><br/>I also like your office redesign where you made different rooms for different functions. That's a fantastic idea. =) Holly,

When I first started my current job, the office was so...DRAB- no way my creative juices were going to flow. I consulted my supervisor, wonderful lady that she is and her advice? If I didn't like it, change it. So I did. I painted my office, added my own pix and even brought in a lamp so I wouldn't have to use those horrible flourescent ones that were buzzing overhead ( I do work for the state afer all.) <br/><br/>The result is a workspace I can spread out in and really work creatively in, wich is key since I am in public relations. <br/><br/>Thanks for the great post, and good luck. Holly,

I'm moving in 10 days (in with the BF) and am feeling similarly energized although sad as I did like my old place very much. My best friend lived there for 2.5 years and then I lived there for 2.5 years so it has fantastic associations and feels very much like home. Tradeoffs, as you say... Holly, I’m so excited for you!
