Child-Proof Office

August 31st, 2007

Ever since Emma was a baby, we’ve loved being able to have her in the office with us. Now that she’s turned into a toddler (amazing transformation, by the way), she can wreck some first-class havoc with cables, filing cabinets, and anything else that is supposed to be orderly. So we’ve had to get pretty creative with our office setup in order to have her in here while we’re working.

When Selah was born, my whole family came out to visit. My dad, who is a construction contractor, helped me do some serious child-proofing. I am pretty proud of the results, so I thought I’d share some pictures with you.

The Cables

My dad is very creative. Here is what we ended up doing with the cables: Child-proof office - 3 Child-proof office - 5

What’s Next? Maybe a little toddler desk, where she can express her toddler creativity.

    Awesome office setup. That cabling shelf is da bomb. Thanks for sharing, now I feel like I need to get to work on my setup.

    Very nice setup. Oh how I wish my cables were that neat and my desk that organized. I think I need you and your dad to help me get my desk setup all sorted out. :)
