I agree, it is an interesting thread!
My T's waiting room only has 3 chairs, a side table that is the same as one I have, only it's orange, and a funky little lamp on the table. There are potpourri sticks (I love the smell, I've resisted the temptation to steal a stick) and classical music playing. There are 2 offices off of the waiting room.
My T shares her office with a T who works with kids, so there are some hand-drawn pics on construction paper taped up on one cabinet, and a wooden dollhouse pushed against one wall on a shelf. It's a rather small office, but I like the size of it. There are 2 windows with wooden blinds, and I think 2 lamps. No desk, just a shelf against one wall with papers and the buzzer for the door that T has to press to let the next patient in. T's chair looks like a comfy swivel chair, she sits facing me. I can choose from a couch or a red leather chair (I always choose the couch and now know that I prefer to sit on the end near the windows and not the door).

T has a wooden footstool and a rolling leather ottoman, I sometimes grab one of those to use, or T will push one towards me to use. I fidget a lot with T's pillows on the couch and have figured out which ones I like best. T has a bookshelf against the same wall as the windows, near her chair. She has 3 hanging shelves of books by the door - they are arranged by color. She has some art hanging on the walls, though not much.

The distance is perfect. She's far enough away that we're both comfortable, but she's close enough that we can connect, and it doesn't feel like she's worlds away.

I feel the same way!
