Next phase of condo changes

Photo: I like a clutter-free environment, good for walking and martial arts weapons exercise.

Thanks to assistance from Sir Charles Nelson Chuckles, that stated he represented 'Red Dome Renovations', the upstairs part of the condominium where I live has been upgraded again. 

Dad also provided some good advice and a very helpful extension cord.

As Mom was placed in care a few years back and Fraser Health informed me that Mom would never return (this was obvious), I went ahead at that time with the beginning of the renovations. 

This was new flooring for every room, other than the sunroom. The installer stated it had the strongest flooring in the place, that should never be changed, only cleaned as needed.

I also bought new furniture and a new dishwasher. As the documentation is being finalized for me to officially be listed as owner, through inheritance (I did homecare for Mom for almost 20 years, as well as worked toward a PhD), I wanted to make the upstairs more work friendly. As in working from home, if needed.

My former bedroom, is now an office where I have my desk and computer equipment. The office has a door that can be closed, unlike the open loft area. I actually completed the majority of my MPhil/PhD work in the loft, which is now my bedroom. 

After one night of the change, I am very pleased. As I had hoped, I slept better in the loft than in the bedroom, because the ceiling fan was above me and turned on for the first time in 2022. The loft seems cooler, temperature-wise than the previous bedroom while sleeping. The sunroom registered, at 105 degrees Fahrenheit and similar temperatures, this last summer. I also now finally have an office with a window. I regret now not setting my upstairs up this way in the beginning. When my Mom bought this property, she was very concerned about my opinion of it. Just in case, I did not move away after earning my PhD, and stayed here. This now appears the more likely scenario, long-term, although with work I might have to travel.

My Zoom room will now be different, as my computer for Zoom, is in the new office. There is no décor on the walls in this office, which is my former bedroom. I have zero interest in moving anything in here, decoration wise, from the loft. The Zoom view will basically be the windows which connects to the sunroom which itself  has larger windows. To the right of the office window will be the white closet. White walls. So, I would consider 1 to 3 small items that I could decorate the walls with for Zoom. Any ideas, please let me know the way you would usually chat with me.
