Thoughts on a home office

One in an occasional series about working from home.

As a part of our move, we acquired an additional 9x12 storage area that we're converting into a home office. It's a windowless room that used to be the janitor's closet. We'll put in some carpeting this week and add decorative items on the walls to make the place feel brighter and bigger.
I have a couple of ideas on how to get this space connected to our home network upstairs. (WiFi won't penetrate the walls, but powerline IP may work. Plan B would require a separate cable drop. I need to talk with some network people to see if there are security risks in either scheme.
So, in a few weeks, we should have a nice workspace.
