Liu the photos look great! Don't sweat the relatively small stuff there to start - your space will grow and develop over time and will grow into itself before you know it. :) You should have seen Office Nomads on the day we opened - there was basically nothing in here except Jacob and I and a few free desks we'd grabbed from a friend. If we could do it I'm certain you could!
Best of luck and keep the updates & photos coming - it's so fun to see other spaces grow.
