Workspace of the Week: Side-by-side desks

Unclutterer -- This week’s Workspace of the Week is Lady Reynolds his and her office:I like how this office uses the vertical space to keep paperwork and projects off the desk tops. And, the way the projects are displayed is a great solution for visual processors.
