My New Desktop. And not the PC variety.

You may remember Scott’s dire need to change my office around late one night, leaving me with a piece of plywood on two sawhorses to work on.  Now, I’m all for retro and I don’t need anything fancy.  But I do sit at this desk for 6-8 hours every day and getting splinters simply for moving my arm on my desk is not…desirable.  I’ve had my eye on this printed glass top since I first laid eyes on it at IKEA.

Last night we finally bit the bullet and bought it. 

One thing I love about IKEA is the ability to get exactly what you want by mix and match.  One stand is able to hold my computer and hide the wires and even includes a shelf to store some papers. The other is ironically like a saw horse.  The best part is this set was only $135 which is more than fair by any standard for this size desk.  I mean, this desk is comparable in price and function but not nearly in style!

I love it.  You can’t see it in any pictures, but there are ladybugs and birds and butterflies among the flowers and leaves and it’s just so ME.  And I just thought of how cute it would be to paint that piece of plywood and lay the glass on top of it!  I might actually attempt to keep my desk clean!

Maybe.
