@Melissa: I'm a massive Anthropologie fan (cutest cups and plates ever!), so you had me right there, plus I like the angles of your monitors contrasted with the striped wallpaper.
@Daniel: Terrific job! I left more comments on your blog post, but loved everything you shared. Thanks for your comments on mine. I started to have either the cat or person resting in the giant orange chair, but for some reason that seemed to pull focus from the point at hand. :)
@Dave (aka @elearningLocker!): Thank you so much!
@Lyn: Congrats on your first challenge - and welcome! Loved what you did, and it was a brilliant idea to introduce yourself via the picture on your desk. I tried to give Sophie a treat, but don't know if she got it. Your bits of audio were a nice touch, too.
@Nancy: Thanks! Glad you liked it. I animated the person out because, after providing a quick visual of how the space would be used, I wanted to focus on the flat work space alone. That seemed to be the crux of the challenge, and I reasoned that if someone wanted to see the person again they could always hit one of the desk buttons.
@Donna: Thank you!! I feel extremely lucky indeed that I'll get to work like that. :)
