Furniture in our house is a much discussed and planned thing, least of all because if Mr Blue-eyes can make something better why would he buy something (therefore the majority of Ikea furniture is abhorrent to him).
Then the making itself is planned with CAD, the timber scoped and sourced, the steel checked and prototypes made.
What you see here is actually the 2nd incarnation and the drawers and storage at the top were debated endlessly. He welded the K frame, inserted the powerpoints and constructed it out of 12mm form ply.
We still have moments about how tidy my desk is but i figure it is my desk, my space and i'll run it as i need. Obviously it is looking most tidy in this pic, perhaps one day I'll show you my creative space in action.
Let it be know that i am most delighted that i can sit at a desk, with a desktop computer and type away as opposed to the laptop on the lounge passively surfing.
I am constantly giving over desk space to other people - I even gave my desk to my stepdaughter and cringe that it is never used and stacked full of her HSC papers and clothes and cosmetics. She never ever studies at it. Grrr. You can imagine how peeved I was when I came home to a rearranged house and my partner had bought a large desk and plonked it down in the house. It's not even a nice desk - and it's not mine (I gave over the same space that was there for a communal family desk and to give my desk to my stepdaughter. Grrrr.
Thanks for the wreath idea. I like that one a lot.
