As much as I love to decorate, sometimes I really hate shopping for furniture. Why, you ask? Simply put, because of my conscience.
I am in the market for a new desk. In order to be closer to my daughter’s doctors, we are moving about an hour away into a smaller apartment. We currently use our third bedroom as a studio/office space. In the new apartment, I will have to use the small, narrow sunroom as an office space. This necessitates buying a new desk, because my current one is entirely too large for the space.

If you ask my husband what life with me has been like since we moved into our apartment, he’ll probably tell you it’s somewhere between everyday craziness and full-on, straight jacket, lock-me-up-and-throw-away-the-key insane. I’ve bought fabrics and sewn pillow covers, only to change my mind about them hours later. I even bought a chair and made my husband strap it into the trunk of our tiny Honda Accord, only to decide once we got it home that it just wasn’t right.

My husband and I bought a cork board a few weeks ago to help us keep track of our appointments, leave cute little love notes for each other, etc. I resisted at first because cork board are generally not that great to look at. If he had suggested this cute Corky corkboard by Fuz, I would’ve agreed in a heartbeat! In fact, I’m tempted to take our boring, ugly version back to the store right now and place my order.

When I first began dreaming of working from home, I always had rosy pictures in my mind of what my workspace would look like. First of all, it would be more than just a workspace. It would be an office, complete with a door I could close to shut out distractions. It also would be outfitted with a gorgeous, eco-friendly desk with lots of space on top for my shiny new PowerMac and MacBook Pro. Yes. I want both.

There’s a lot to love about working for myself for a living. My commute is short (as in from my bedroom to my desk), I can wear whatever I want to work, and I set my own schedule and pace. It’s not quite as easy as I’m making it sound, but it definitely has its perks. And of course, I want a work environment that is as stylish as it is functional. My current work area is a little lacking in both areas, but I am confident it won’t be this way forever. Especially not when there are affordable furniture options like Target’s bamboo desk and bookcase, both of which are currently on clearance.
