If you're visiting from IHeart Organizing, welcome! I'm honored that Jen chose to feature my desk on her blog! I'm so glad you're here. Say hello and stay awhile :).
In our old place in Richmond, we had more space (thanks to cheaper rent there!) and room for a whole office area in our spare bedroom. Without that extra room here, we had to carve out an office "nook" as I like to call it. We needed a desk in that room for a variety of reasons, but I didn't want to spend a lot on a new piece of furniture, so I came up with an inexpensive solution...plywood on sawhorses. Remember this picture I showed you a couple of weeks ago?
Functional, but not pretty. (The mess around it is a whole separate issue...)
Now take a look at our newly finished desk!
I'm loving how it turned out. The style is a mix of rustic and modern, clean-lined and rough-hewn - which is a pretty good representation of my overall style. I little eclectic, but with plenty of traditional elements as well.
The legs of the desk are a pair of sawhorses that used to live in my grandparents' garage. I snatched them up a couple of years ago with an idea in my head that they would make an awesome desk or table foundation one day. I'm so excited that I finally got to make that idea a reality.
The desk top is a piece of plywood (yep, the same one from the "before" photo) upholstered in a white cotton duck fabric. A piece of acrylic sits on top of the fabric to create a smooth, glassy surface. I'll be back to share more details on how I made the desk top tomorrow. (*1.29.13 update: the how-to post is up! Check it out here.*)
I wish I could work here all the time!
Here's the "after" one more time for good measure...
*Update: Here's the "how to" for the desk top!*
