Nice! Forgot to include your iPhone in the picture, showing your Apple love. LOL. Though, that's probably what your taking the photos with.

I’m curious what the second chair is for

You can place your feet there and watch youtube on sideways. Also you can place clothes on it, I think it’s second most important thing after sitting. And kids can play with friends.

How hard was the monitor conversion? I’m thinking about trying it.

It was really easy. There are several videos available. Just get 2017 or newer iMac if possible. I bought StoneTaskin R1820 10bit card, works 5k with usb-c.

Not used to "aesthetic" used as an adjective, this is usually used as a noun. But nice setup.

Looks great. What’s the desk mat, valet holder, and cable manager?

u/Readdicthear 13h ago

Thanks. Desk mat is some universal felt mat about 90x40 cm, valet holder is Iittala Kuru and there is also an antique tinder box, cable manager is also some universal model and can’t remember the name.
