Founder & CEO
Welcome to Workspace Bliss! My name is Bob and I am the founder and CEO of this site and a fellow office and cubicle dweller for the past 40 years. Over the years, I have been featured in numerous online publications such as US News and World Report, Bustle, and Work Awesome.
I have been an Information Technology Manager and an individual contributor in the area of Information Systems throughout my long career. I have a Masters of Science Degree from Boston College, and two Bachelor of Science Degrees: one in Information Technology from University of Massachusetts Lowell and the other in Geology from Northeastern University. I am also a Microsoft-Certified Professional in SQLServer Administration.
How This Site Has Grown
I’ve been a paid writer for a very successful work-related blog site called Work Awesome (you can read my articles here) which inspired me to develop the original version of this site called Cubicle Bliss in January of 2011.
In April of 2020 I migrated CubicleBliss.com to WorkspaceBliss.com because I wanted my readers to know that I didn’t only cater to making life in the cubicle better, but to all workspaces.
Something changed along the way. The more I wrote about home offices, the more I realized I wasn’t really writing about offices at all. I was writing about the rooms we actually live in. A home office isn’t some separate world with a door you shut behind you. It’s the corner of a bedroom, the desk tucked into the kitchen, the wall you end up staring at all day long.
So the site has grown up again, and this time it’s grown into home decor.
What You’ll Find Here Now
These days I write about the whole house, room by room. Accent walls, living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, and all the small decor decisions that add up to a home you enjoy being in.
The office content isn’t going anywhere. I’ve spent 15 years building it and I still believe that a well-designed workspace makes you better at your job. It just lives here now as one room among many, right alongside everything else.
My wife and I are constantly working on our own home, and most of what I write about starts there. We recently built an accent wall in our main bathroom out of cedar planks, and a while back we did our downstairs bathroom in reclaimed wood.
We painted our kitchen cabinets black, which my wife will tell you was entirely her idea (she’s right). Living where we do in a rustic setting, I lean toward warm, natural, lived-in rooms over anything too polished.
One promise I’ll make you: when I show you a room, it’s a real room. The photos in my articles are actual photographs of actual spaces, NOT AI-generated renderings of houses that don’t exist. If I’ve done a project myself, I’ll tell you how it actually went, including the parts that didn’t go smoothly.
My goal for this website is to give you the ideas and knowledge to make every space in your home the best it can be, including the one you work in. I’ll share the decor projects my wife and I take on ourselves, the office tips and advice I’ve garnered over 35 years of working life, and honest product recommendations you can actually put to use.
Thanks for dropping by and I hope to see you here often. If you are interested in advertising on this website please feel free to contact me by using the Contact Me page. I would also appreciate if you could let me know how I could improve your experience here at Workspace Bliss!
