Nine months into the pandemic, many of us are used to logging in to work or school from our homes. More than 40 percent of the U.S. labor force is now working remotely.

As we adjust, so do our living spaces. Dining tables now serve as desks and living rooms are classrooms. Many of us have invested in new desks, chairs, and storage solutions to deal with the clutter and chaos of work-from-home.

Guests:

  • Rachel Alcorn is the owner of Two Hands Interior, an interior design firm based in Illinois.

  • Ariane Laxo  is an interior designer with HGA, a national design firm founded in the Twin Cities that focuses on architecture and engineering.
