How is it that I am a writer with no desk? The idea seems so wrong in many ways! But of course, my lack of a work space has not, nor ever will, stop me from creating. Never fear though, as I have learned in my life that as soon as I identify what it is I need, the process of finding it becomes much easier. (...deep thought, I know!) The hard part? The largest my desk can be is 2 feet deep by 80 inches long. (Did I mention my apartment is small?) Here are some cool desks I found on my search:
WANTED: the perfect desk.
I've never had an upright desk, but when closed up, the LeCourte Upright from Williams Sonoma Home, would fit nicely in my space (but not in my budget!). I imagine a 1960's Upper East Side social butterfly writing her thank you's on personalized Mrs. John L. Strong stationary ( a tragedy that they closed after 80 years!!).
I've had a glass desk before, and I went through Windex like it was going out of style. The Mason Glasstop Desk from Williams Sonoma Home would be worth the cleaning battle. (Dream room!)
A little too industrial for my current apartment, but the Quivos desk from Design Within Reach would be my top pick if I had my own office in a cool SoHo loft!
My friend in LA has a leaning bookshelf like this but I never knew they made them with a little desk connected! Perfect for my laptop! Crate and Barrel does the Sloane Leaning Desk with shelf options. This could be a great place to store my thesaurus, favorite books, and inspiring photos close at hand.
The best part? This one fits perfectly in my space with a little room to spare and is a reasonable price! It's time to bundle up Maggie and go for a quick walk to the Crate and Barrel on Houston - this one is worth checking out!
Ciao!
I am so in love with that leaning bookcase/desk. Fantabulastic.
