Turtleneck, Gap (swap). Dress, Eddie Bauer (thrifted). Belt, thrifted. Leggings, Danskin. Boots, Blowfish. Earrings, vintage.
Before and after:
The biggest change was moving the desk out from under the slant. I thought the first positioning would be cozy, but it was claustrophobic! The carpet was replaced with laminate and the dining chair with an Ikea work chair.
The only distraction I now have is the cats. They have migrated upstairs with me. They enjoy sleeping on the ottomans, watching birds out the window, IMing my coworkers, and stealing my seat.
Comfy work space and comfy clothes for the win.

whoa! change of scenery! it looks awesome.
Love the boots! that color is great, goes with black or brown super well.
Nice job! Looks really cosy, and the Asian theme suits the space well. Bravo!
Man, what a cool space! I currently work from my kitchen table, but now I'm jonesing for a little office nook. Well done!
Oh, I LOVE the new space! You have such a wonderful sense of style (but we all knew that already). I must say, though, my favorite part about this room is the fact that I can see three kitties in what appears to be a 3-foot radius.
What an awesome space! I love the changes you've made. Some are big, like the desk move, but many are subtle, like the different items on the table. Lovely!
Any space with kitties is good (although my little monster Vizzini requires that I keep a squirt gun handy at all times).
The transformation makes the space look so much warmer and more functional. I have dormers in my computer room too and they are surprisingly not as bad feng shui as I would have thought. It's very cozy.

What a great workspace! I hope to have one decked out nicely in the next couple of years. :-)
Very nice! I have a cat on my desk 'helping' me right now....
I love that you are still wearing the turtleneck we swapped! Lookin' good as always!
I love what you did with the space! It looks like a great place to work. Great colors and beautiful cats :)
Love it, it looks more cozy and warm.
I really like the desk there better as well, plus a lamp :)
Did u re-paint? Or is it just more 'glowy' now?
I think it is the addition of all the cool lamps!
Cats seem to take over any room, don't they?

The "glowy" is the lighting. I used a flash in the "before" pic.
What a fabulous workspace! Actually, all the rooms in your house you photograph look magazine-worthy. Also, I think I may have that same Gap turtleneck you're wearing. It's a great staple piece.
That workspace is beautiful! That's just the sort of look I want for my house if I ever get my act together well enough to move back to the States and buy a house. Someday...
I love it!!!
Oh, just a minute the cat is whining to go out...Wow changing a desk and curtains can make a room look that great? Better than House Beautiful!! Kathy H
