Home of the Week: The Stunning Fairbanks House Designed by G. Lawrence Stimson in South Pasadena
With remote and hybrid work schedules here to stay for many Americans, it’s important to have a space dedicated to comfort and productivity. The initial transition to remote work may have involved setting up an impromptu workstation at the dining room table but creating a long-term, functional home office can be one of the first steps to increasing efficiency, focus and productivity.
Whether your work area is a spacious room, small den or desk in a quiet spot in the house, these ideas can help you create a space where you enjoy working.
Select the Perfect Location
While some remote workers have a spare bedroom or den they can dedicate as a home office, others may need to create a multiuse area in which office space occupies another room, such as the dining room, family room or basement.

Pie Day Only Comes Once a Year
After five years of showcasing the works of contemporary artists, from emerging names to established international figures, Gallery 30 South has decided to close its curtain. April 29th will be the gallery’s last day in Pasadena.
