Well I managed to get my home office put together. I made two areas. One for my personal stuff and one for my school and work stuff. Once I finish school and get a work at home job I want to keep my personal stuff separated from work stuff, so I figured a space for each. The purple side is my personal desk. They both have lights that I can pick the colors and even set them to the do stuff like flash.

Yes. Warcraft is on my personal desktop. I kill things for gold. If it's hidden, I will find it. If it bleeds, I will kill it. If it has loot, it's mine! lol

I also have my garden shelf in the same room. The rest of my indoor garden is in my basement. I figure about the time I'm harvesting the people planting outside will just be getting ready to plant. I'm trying to stagger my crops so I can buy fresh local when available and avoid the grocery store as much as possible when not available. When I harvest they plant and when they harvest I plant.

The black planter I have multiples of in the basement. I took that picture right after I put the first one together, then took it down into the basement garden. I'm planning on using one entire unit for strawberries and nothing but strawberries. :)

In the basement, I also have big planter boxes and buckets for things like beef steak and cherry tomatoes, dwarf sweet corn, sweet peppers, etc. I already have buckets of mints started as well. I placed the mints far away from anything, including each other, so they can't invade anything else's space or war with each other. Mints tend to be aggressive. I have them set up so all they can do is give each dirty looks from their perspective corners. lol

I'm using shop lights instead of grow lights. I decided on shop lights after talking to some people who told me they work just as well as shop lights and are a lot cheaper. You just have to make sure your plants are getting at least 5000 lumens and no more than 10000. Mine are getting 8000 and everything is doing great. In fact, most things have sprouted earlier than expected as well.
