Sitting in the Thalys, I am taking the opportunity to search through the bookmarks I made and write some blogposts while the train is taking me to Paris. These workspaces caught my eye some time ago and I think they have everything to create a laid back workspace at your home. ‘Overtime’ as the table […]
