My Desk

Last summer I was in need of a desk. Something cute & simple. I am a big fan of buying old furniture that needs just a little bit of attention & spiffing it up. I found this old sofa table - very sturdy & only 20 bucks. This table in particular required nothing more than a couple cans of spray paint! (Sadly, I don't have before pictures!)

I accessorized my desk with my a file holder from Ikea, a little organizer for all my 'desky' stuff like paperclips, etc. (the white thing on the right - found this at Goodwill for 99 cents! what a steal!), & my favorite piggy bank.

I put favorite picture of Brad Pitt on a motorcycle in a cute black frame. I saw this while in Vegas at Planet Hollywood - I would die to have the huge one they have, but this small one will do for now. I also framed a picture of a gorgeous field in Central Oregon - something I miss! Lastly, I stuck my fav quote - 'you have the ability to create the life you want' - in a frame. I used a picture easel to add height to one of the pictures - it adds a little variety & interest.

I think it's essential to be surrounded by things you love. I wake up every morning (with my soft-as-can-be throw pictured here!) & enjoy looking at my desk! -- I have still yet to find the perfect chair & as much as I hate clutter I do need to devise some sort of storage system. But for now, this makes me happy.
