walkitoutR. has installed the can conversions and the flushmount Tiffany-style lights. They are lovely. I also received the table lamps and rearranged the bookshelves in the treadmill area so there was space for them. In practice, we are predominantly using the table lamps (this does not surprise me). But we now have a range of lighting levels, and it’s working for us.
R. taped a piece of black construction paper on the treadmill to cover the display, which A. said is too bright. You can flip it up to adjust things and then return it. And A. is 100% correct. This is a huge issue. Even this incredibly annoying solution is an enormous improvement. So now, I’m going to try to make it nicer.
I was thinking maybe some kind of plastic sheet that was grey, and went looking for that on Amazon, and after a bit I was looking at “lightdims”. These are like the blackout stickers or clings you can put over LEDs so the room is dark, but you can get them to reduce instead of fully blocking the light. So now I’m waiting for those to arrive. Fingers crossed! I’m also waiting for a treadmill desk attachment to solve A.’s other issue, which is not enough space to put a book or device while on the treadmill. I’m feeling very optimistic that we will be able to make this a place that is easy to spend time, instead of an infuriating grind.
